Throughout the years, episodes of the series have been released on VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD. The series' VHS releases were among the top selling titles released by Family Home Entertainment, whereas the first two seasons were among the top selling television titles on the format.

Overview
Family Home Entertainment acquired the rights to the series through their deal with Bear Bones, which they finalized in September 1987.

VHS
FHE initially released The Premiere Movie on VHS on December 16, 1993, a movie recut of the first two episodes.

Beginning in July 1994, Family Home Entertainment released the series in several VHS volumes, each containing an assortment of episodes per tape, with the last volume featuring behind the scenes footage or a music video included as a bonus feature alongside the main episodes, much of which were included on Paramount's DVD releases of the series. These volumes were also sold in box sets, beginning with rereleases of the first two seasons in late 1996.

LaserDisc
Live Entertainment, the parent company of Family Home Entertainment, released The Premiere Movie on LaserDisc in 1994. It was released on three sides, with the third side including a behind the scenes extra.

DVD
Artisan Entertainment, through the Family Home Entertainment imprint, released the first four seasons between 1999 and 2000. The releases are identical to the VHS releases. The DVDs lack extras.

In addition to the first four seasons, Artisan released The Premiere Movie on DVD in January 2001, shortly before the video rights moved to Paramount. The release is a direct transfer of the LaserDisc release, and also features the behind-the-scenes featurette from the LaserDisc release.

Overview
When Nickelodeon announced they would be collaborating with Bear Bones to produce a revival series of Winx Club, the video rights of the series moved to Paramount, Nickelodeon's video distributor, after Artisan's rights to the series expired. The rights to the series remain with Paramount as of 2022.

VHS
Paramount released two VHS volumes in 2002. These releases feature the four recap specials, along with a music video. Some episodes of the series were featured in a few Nickelodeon VHS releases. In 2003 and 2004, a few more VHS tapes were released, comprising of seasons 5 and 6.

DVD
In September 2003, Dan Darlene confirmed through a radio interview that Paramount was planning to release the series on DVD beginning in 2004, coinciding with the series' 10th anniversary. The first two seasons were released in 2004, and the third and fourth were released in 2005. The recap specials were initially set for a 2006 release, but a switch in executives at Paramount delayed the release. In November 2006, Dan Darlene confirmed that talks with Paramount and Nickelodeon resumed, with the specials set for a release in 2007.

Notably, the first two seasons restore the episode recaps, next episode previews, and original credit sequences, which were edited out in reruns on premium cable networks such as HBO Family and Encore WAM. In addition, seasons 5-7 are present in the widescreen aspect ratio which the episodes were produced in, rather than the 4:3 aspect ratio that the episodes aired.
