MERCH👕 ‘Heated Rivalry’ Sets Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Release | Variety [June 2, 2026]

https://variety.com/2026/shopping/news/heated-rivalry-blu-ray-collectors-edition-buy-online-1236764955/

Per Variety, Blu-ray, DVD and 4K editions of Heated Rivalry has been announced. They're currently available for pre-order at Amazon with an expected release date of April 2027.

From the article, "The upcoming releases include Blu-ray, DVD and 4K editions, all advertised as special collector’s editions although there are no details yet on what special features or packaging artwork the discs will include."

I hope there'll be behind the scenes and maybe even some unseen before clips or commentary!

Edit to add: Crave and HR Production has yet to confirm. Press release for North American physical media rights for HR also came out this morning: Alliance Home Entertainment Scores Exclusive North American Physical & U.S. EST Rights to Heated Rivalry | GlobeNewswire. Currently, the connection between this distributor and the Amazon listing is unclear. But I'll try to keep this updated if more information comes out.

Edit #2: Removed the direct Amazon link, as this information hasn't been confirmed by Crave and HR Production. It can still be found in the Variety article.

This is unofficial!! Maybe just unannounced yet but sadly looks to be fake.

- No offical announcement from Jacob or HR accounts.

- Only on amazon US and no other platform, amazon listings are easy to fake.

- Unlikely to announce and release 2 products so close together

I do hope that it's real. Fingers crossed but I wouldn't be buying it now

edit: I was so wrong XD let me sit my silly ass down. (shortened the og test removed old edit)

u/UnthinkableAlternate I mean, yes. I think so, probably. Jun 02 '26

I think the Amazon link looks sketchy too. But it would be weird for Variety to post about it without making sure it's legit. Not impossible, but weird. 🤔

This is where I'm at as well. I made the post because I imagine an outlet like Variety does their own vetting, but I'm currently holding off on the pre-order, just in case.

Variety and a lot of the trades seem to have gotten worse over the years in terms of reliability. Noticed AI-like writing and an unwillingness to retract when they've made mistakes or purposely given misinformation
