Global television sensation Heated Rivalry is making the leap from your streaming cue directly to your living room shelf. Alliance Home Entertainment announced that Season One of the hit Crave Original series lands on Blu-ray and DVD on October 20, 2026.
If you want the ultimate physical package, mark your calendar for November 24, 2026. A limited-run 4K UHD Collector’s Edition arrives just in time for holiday gifting, complete with a throwback retro “VHS” sleeve, physical art cards, a double-sided mini poster, and a branded puck stress reliever for when the on-screen tension gets a little too intense.
Pre-orders are officially open at national online retailers across the U.S. and Canada.
From Social Sensation to Physical Media
The hockey romance took social media by storm after its November 2025 debut, quickly evolving into a cross-demographic juggernaut. Season One currently sits at a Certified Fresh 96% Critic Score on Rotten Tomatoes. While fans wait for Season Two to hit screens in Spring 2027, the physical release gives the fandom something tangible to hold onto.
Show creators Jacob Tierney and Brendan Brady expressed their appreciation for the show’s vocal online audience.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the fans who have embraced our show wholeheartedly and have been watching and rewatching it since its premiere,” said Jacob Tierney and Brendan Brady of Accent Aigu Entertainment. “In many ways, the DVD release felt like the natural next step. Knowing that fans can own a piece of the series and give it a place in their collection means a great deal to us. The special features and Collector’s Edition offer even more to discover and enjoy. We hope everyone has as much fun with this release as we’ve had making the series and bringing the steamy, nostalgic look of the Collector’s Edition to life.”
Enmity, Ambition, and On-Ice Electricity
Based on Rachel Reid’s bestselling Game Changers novel series, the adaptation follows rival Major League Hockey stars Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie).
What starts as a secret teenage fling turns into an eight-year journey filled with intense competition, hidden longing, and unresolved romantic feelings. As both players chase league glory, they have to figure out if their secret connection can survive the pressure of professional sports.
