Update: Hawkeye episode 6 is available to stream now. Go go go!
Original story follows.
Spoilers follow for Hawkeye episodes 1 to 5. You've been warned.
When is Hawkeye episode 6 getting released on Disney Plus? The final entry in the last Marvel Studios' TV show of 2021 lands on the streamer before Christmas Day, but you may be wondering when that'll be exactly. It's a good job that we're here to help you out, then.
Hawkeye episode 6 has a lot that it needs to tie up when it does arrive, too. The series' fifth episode finally revealed that Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin is the show's main antagonist. So it'll be interesting to see how Clint Barton deals with him, whether he can finally put his demons to rest, and be back home in time for Christmas with his family.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Kate Bishop will no doubt confront her mother Eleanor about the latter's ties to Kingpin. Yelena Belova is still gunning for Clint as she continues to think he's responsible for killing her sister – Natasha Romanoff – in Avengers: Endgame. Maya Lopez, aka Echo, has had her world rocked by Clint about Kingpin being the guy responsible for her father's death. And we still don't know what the significance is of that wristwatch, which was found in the Avengers compound and appears to be key to some plot elements.
So there's plenty that Hawkeye episode 6 needs to cover during its rumored hour-long runtime. While we wait to see if it neatly wraps up everyone's story arcs in a pleasing manner, though, we can look at when Hawkeye's sixth episode will land on Disney Plus. And, with it, the final thing we'll see from Marvel's Phase 4 slate in 2021.

What date will Hawkeye episode 6 be released on Disney Plus?
Hawkeye episode 6 will be released on Disney Plus on Wednesday, December 22 at 12 am PT / 3 am ET / 8 am BST / 12:30 pm IST / 5 pm AEST.
By now, you'll know that Hawkeye episodic release times vary depending on where you live. US viewers are in for a late night if they stay up to watch episode 6 as soon as it airs. UK fans, meanwhile, might have a chance to watch it out before work, while Indian and Australian audiences can catch it during, or after, their shifts or school studies end.
Marvel shows are often discussed at length as soon as they air, so you may want to get ahead of the curve in case someone drops any spoilers.
If you can't watch episode 6 until late on Wednesday, though, you'll definitely want to mute certain words or hashtags on social media. You should mute the likes of #Hawkeye, #Hawkeyespoilers, and #Hawkeyeepisode6 as there are bound to be big surprises afoot. This is the series finale, after all, so make sure that the final episode isn't ruined for you before you watch it.
Hawkeye on Disney Plus full release schedule
Here's the full release schedule for Hawkeye, including when episode 6 will arrive on Disney Plus:
- Hawkeye episode 1: November 24 (Available now)
- Hawkeye episode 2: November 24 (Available now)

Episode 5 clocked in at 45 minutes, which made it one of the longer entries in the series.
With Hawkeye episode 6 set to bring the show to an end, it should be the longest entry in the series. And, if you believe leakers, such as Amit Chaudhari on Twitter, episode 6 will be just shy of an hour long. If that's true, it'll be the longest episode of any Marvel TV show so far, too.
#Hawkeye's finale episode = 59 Mins.And yes, this'll be the longest episode among all @disneyplus #MCU shows thus far. https://t.co/s3rK3HdsCP pic.twitter.com/pTl2VMdeVKDecember 16, 2021
Is there a Hawkeye episode 6 promo trailer yet?
Yes. Marvel Studios released a 30-second teaser a day after Hawkeye episode 5 aired on Disney Plus, and you can watch it above.
As per usual, the trailer is primarily made up of footage from previous episodes, but there's enough new material here to get us excited for the show's finale.
Titled "The Boss", Hawkeye episode 6's teaser sees Clint asking Kate if she's ready (she says she is) while they prepare a bunch of trick arrows. Why? Well, because they're about to take the fight to Kingpin, Eleanor Bishop and company.
Cue an action-packed montage that sees Clint and Kate firing off a bunch of arrows, Yelena Belova entering the fight and duking it out with Clint, another tease of Vincent D'Onofrio's crime lord (with a walking cane this time, too) and Eleanor Bishop looking on with a shocked expression on her face. Consider us sold on Hawkeye's season finale, then.
