Roshan Meka’s period sports action drama Champion is coming to OTT platforms after a disappointing theatrical run. The film reportedly grossed just ₹17 crores worldwide. Although the official budget has not been revealed to the public, reports suggest it was made on a budget of around ₹45 crores.
The film also marked Mollywood actress Anaswara Rajan’s Telugu debut as the female lead. After a poor box-office showing, the period sports drama, which hit theaters on December 25 last year, will soon be available to stream at home.
Champion Streaming Date
Champion is coming to Netflix this January. It will be available for streaming from Thursday, January 29, 2026. Netflix has officially confirmed the date. In addition to the original Telugu version, Champion has also been dubbed in Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam.
