What time of day do titles leave Prime Video?

Removals generally take effect around midnight at the end of the listed date, US time. Treat the listed date as the last full day to watch, and don't start a three-hour movie at 11 PM.

If I start watching before the deadline, can I finish after?

Don't count on it. Once the title leaves the included catalog, playback stops being covered by your membership — mid-binge progress doesn't extend the license.

Do titles I purchased disappear too?

No. Leaving dates apply to streaming with Prime or a channel subscription. Titles you bought stay in your Amazon library.

Why did a title leave earlier or later than the listed date?

Amazon can change dates without notice — licenses get extended, and occasionally a title leaves early or regains its spot. We re-verify every title daily precisely because the dates drift.

When do titles actually leave Prime Video?

What a leaving date really means, what time removals happen, and what happens to your watchlist and purchases.

“Leaving July 31” sounds precise until you're deciding whether to start a movie at 10:45 PM on the 31st. Here's what the dates on removal notices actually mean, based on tracking them daily.

The listed date is the last watchable day

When Amazon flags a title as leaving on a given date, that date is in practice the last full day the title streams with your membership. The switch-off typically happens around midnight at the end of that day, US time. Our countdowns work the same way: “2 days left” means today and tomorrow are safe, and “0 days left” means it's the final day — watch it tonight.

Dates move — in both directions

A leaving date is a plan, not a contract. In our daily verification we regularly see dates pushed back when a license gets extended, and occasionally a flagged title quietly loses its flag entirely and stays. The reverse also happens: a title vanishes from the included catalog before its listed date. This drift is why a list that was scraped once and never re-checked goes wrong within days, and why every date on this site is re-verified each morning.

What actually changes at removal

The title usually doesn't disappear from Amazon — it stops being included. Expect the Watch button to turn into a rent-or-buy price, or into a channel subscription prompt if another storefront still carries it. Your watchlist entry survives, but it now points at a paid option. Anything you purchased outright is unaffected, and downloads tied to a Prime license stop playing once the license lapses.

Channel dates aren't Prime dates

One subtlety worth knowing: some leaving dates belong to a channel add-on (AMC+, Peacock, and so on) rather than to Prime itself. The title leaves that channel's catalog on Amazon, but your base Prime lineup never included it in the first place. Our title pages say which storefront a date applies to, so you know whether it's your problem. Check what's on the clock right now on the leaving this week list.
