[[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] released the first four seasons of ''NYPD Blue'' on DVD in Regions 1, 2, and 4. All of the sets contain the original master recordings, the original ABC broadcasts, and custom-made credits. After the release of the fourth season in 2006, Fox announced that they would be reviewing the possibility of further releases, citing the lack of sales.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}

On October 3, 2013, it was announced that [[Shout! Factory]] had acquired the rights to the series in Region 1.  They have subsequently released seasons five to 12 on DVD.<ref name="five">{{cite web|url=http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/NYPD-Blue-Season-5/19040|title=Shout!

In Region 2, Mediumrare acquired the rights to release the remaining eight seasons of the show on DVD in the United Kingdom.

Seasons 1-12 are available on [[Hulu]], the American [[subscription video on demand]] service. However,  the first six seasons are remastered in HD and cropped from 4:3 to 16:9, in similar fashion to ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. All 12 seasons are also available on Amazon Prime in their original formats (as of August 2023).

In Australia and New Zealand, all twelve seasons are streaming on [[Disney+]] in 16:9. The same cropping is present for the UK and Ireland.
