Balls Up OTT release puts director Peter Farrelly's new R-rated action-comedy squarely in front of global streaming audiences on Amazon Prime Video.
Balls Up is now available to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, following its worldwide digital debut on 15 April 2026. Viewers need an active Prime Video subscription to watch the film online. The movie arrives as part of Amazon MGM Studios' latest slate of original comedies aimed at a global audience.
Directed by Peter Farrelly, Balls Up follows two American marketing executives, Brad and Elijah, who work for a condom company and pitch a bold full-coverage condom sponsorship tied to the football World Cup. After they are fired and decide to use their tickets to a major match in Brazil, a drunken celebration spirals into a scandal that turns them into fugitives, forcing them to outrun angry fans, criminals and officials across the country.
The film leans into raunchy, over-the-top humour, blending action set-pieces with broad comedy and a high-stakes chase narrative. Farrelly, known for hits such as Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary, brings a similar buddy-comedy energy to this story of corporate failure and chaotic redemption. Official trailers released by Amazon MGM Studios and partner channels emphasise the mix of stadium spectacle, slapstick violence and culture-clash gags set in Brazil.
Balls Up is written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, whose credits include high-profile action-comedies, and produced by Amazon MGM Studios alongside Reese Wernick Productions and Skydance Media. The ensemble cast is led by Mark Wahlberg as Brad Lewison and Paul Walter Hauser as Elijah, with Molly Shannon, Benjamin Bratt, Daniela Melchior, Eric André and Sacha Baron Cohen in key supporting roles.
The film's music is composed by Dave Palmer, while Sam Seig serves as editor, shaping a pace that aims to keep the chase moving while foregrounding the central double act. Early reviews describe Balls Up as an energetic but deliberately outrageous comic romp, designed more for fast laughs and spectacle than for subtle satire.
Balls Up's OTT release on Prime Video positions it as a loud, brash addition to the current wave of action-comedies, with its football backdrop, star-driven cast and streaming-first launch giving it a clear shot at becoming a weekend watch for viewers looking for unruly escapism.
