Watch Saw in Order

Watch the Saw movies in release order, starting with Saw (2004) and continuing through Saw X (2023). The series spans 10 films, released between 2004 and 2023. Audiences rate the franchise 6.4/10 on average.

What order should you watch Saw?

For most viewers, release order is the recommended way to watch Saw. This is how the story was crafted and revealed to audiences — earlier films seed details, callbacks, and twists that pay off in later entries. Watching in release order preserves those reveals and matches the pacing the filmmakers intended.

Saw largely tracks its own in-universe chronology, so release order and chronological order overlap closely. You can use either without losing much, though release order is still the safest first watch.
