Live events and sports

Live programming is separate from ordinary on-demand releases. The May schedule includes The Roast of Kevin Hart, the scheduled Ronda Rousey–Gina Carano event, and F1 Canadian Grand Prix practice, qualifying, sprint and race coverage. Sports availability and event formats can depend on territory and the final Netflix listing. The May 31 AFI tribute is an awards special rather than a sporting event.

How to confirm a title in your Netflix account

1. Open Netflix and use the New & Popular, Latest, New & Hot or New on Netflix row; the label varies by device.
2. Search for the title directly if it does not appear in a row.
3. Select Remind Me on an upcoming title when that option is offered. Netflix may send a notification or email and add it to My List (Netflix reminder help).
4. Check again on the expected date if a title is missing. Netflix says dates can move, and licensed titles can be withdrawn or limited by country.

Netflix’s official current-release hub is New on Netflix. It is a live page rather than a permanent archive of the May calendar.

U.S. availability, licensed titles and departures

This is not a worldwide list. Netflix requires a country selection to determine catalog availability, and licensed movies, television seasons and sports are especially subject to regional rights (Netflix country guidance). A “Netflix release” in a monthly schedule can therefore mean either a Netflix-produced title or a licensed addition.
