Air Bud is returning to the spotlight. The official Air Bud account posted a teaser on July 27 confirming that Air Bud Returns will premiere exclusively in theaters on January 22, 2027.
The post leans into the original film's iconic line: "ain't no rule that says a dog can't play basketball." The teaser video shows a dark basketball arena with overhead spotlights and bold yellow text reading "Anything Is Possible."
The announcement was made on the @AIRBUD account on X, the latest move to revive the franchise that began with the 1997 original. No additional plot details, cast announcements, or trailer release dates have been shared yet.
Fans will have to wait until early 2027 to see the full film. For now, the message is simple: the original underdog is back.
