The film was theatrically premiered on 23 October 2018, as a part of the QCinema International Film Festival, competing for the "Circle Competition" category. Oda sa Wala was released virtually in the Philippines on 23 April 2021 as part of a "Black Pack" that included other Black Sheep releases Motel Acacia, and Death of Nintendo.
