The official soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping has revealed a 29-song tracklist. It is set to arrive on November 13, 2026, one week before the film's November 20, 2026 release.

The tracklist totals 29 songs, with Stevie Nicks' 1989 track "Doing the Best That I Can" returning in a new Arena Mix and The Cure's live "Alone" recorded in Berlin in 2022. The breakdown of new versus previously released songs across the full 29-track list has not been detailed.

Industry Dynamics
Soundtrack albums built around a franchise's fan base typically arrive ahead of a film to build interest, a pattern this release follows with its November 13 date one week before opening. Pairing high-profile artists with new versions of earlier songs is a tactic studios use to draw both longtime listeners and newer audiences.
Listeners can pre-order the 29-song soundtrack now ahead of its November 13 release. Moviegoers will see the film in theaters starting November 20, 2026.
The takeaway
Soundtracks released before a film can help fans engage with the story ahead of opening weekend, and pre-orders offer a direct way to secure the album.
