As of October 7, 2026, Netflix’s US schedule lists five Hunger Games movies for removal on October 14, which falls within the following calendar week. The schedule does not establish an 11-film list or rank these movies as the “best” on Netflix; it identifies five titles and their scheduled departure date.
Which Hunger Games movies are scheduled to leave?
Netflix Tudum’s US October schedule lists these five films for October 14, 2026. The independent October schedule from What’s on Netflix lists the same five titles for that date.
| Film | Release year | Schedule date |
|---|---|---|
| The Hunger Games | 2012 | October 14, 2026 |
| The Hunger Games: Catching Fire | 2013 | October 14, 2026 |
| The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 | 2014 | October 14, 2026 |
| The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 | 2015 | October 14, 2026 |
| The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes | 2023 | October 14, 2026 |
Netflix describes the October departures as titles to watch before they leave Netflix in the US. Its schedule is a departure notice, not a quality ranking or a recommendation list.
What order should you watch them in?
For the story’s release-order sequence, watch the four original-era films first, followed by the prequel:

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a prequel, so viewers prioritizing in-universe chronology can begin there instead. The Netflix schedule does not specify runtimes, so check each title’s Netflix listing if you need to plan a marathon.
Does the original “11 best movies” headline check out?
Not against the cited schedule. Netflix’s October overview highlights numerous other departing films, including Out of Africa, The Vow, Apollo 13, A League of Their Own, Fargo, and Nomadland, but its overview does not establish that they leave during October 12–18. Without each film’s date, an 11-movie list for “next week” would be unsupported. Nor do the schedules provide critic scores, audience data, or another basis for calling a set of titles the objectively best movies.

No such conclusion follows from the cited schedule: Netflix Tudum labels its October departures as US departures, and availability can vary by country. What’s on Netflix also cautions that licensing changes can move or extend scheduled removals. Check the title in your local Netflix app close to the date before relying on the schedule.
