Chibnall has established that the film was shown on [[LWT]] in 1976 and 1980 "in a [[Expurgation|bowdlerised]] version" (which edited out Britt Ekland's phone sex scene)<ref name="Chibnall, p. 61"/> and once on [[Westward Television]] and on [[ITV Granada|Granada]] in August 1981, but it was not shown nationally and in its entirety until a [[Watershed (broadcasting)|post-watershed]] BBC broadcast in 1986.<ref name="Chibnall, p. 99">Chibnall, p. 99</ref> It was finally released on home media in 1993 by MGM/UA as part of its "Elite Collection". Chibnall says "There was no advertising to suggest a significant event had occurred. It was simply a part of the long process of exploiting MGM's back catalogue in the run-up to Christmas". Despite this, the release was given a five-star review in ''[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]'', where it was described as "one of the best British films of the 70s". Chibnall notes "it did not, however, find a place in ''Empire''{{'}}s top fifty videos of the year".<ref name="Chibnall, p. 99"/>

Warner Bros. reissued the film in a special edition on DVD in October 2000 in its original [[1.85:1]] [[aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]]. Extras included three trailers; the international trailer, an introduction by Michael Caine to the people of Newcastle, and a third featuring Roy Budd playing the opening theme. This format was also used in a 2001 VHS set released by Warner, which included ''Bullitt'' and ''[[Shaft (1971 film)|Shaft]]''. Also included on the DVD was [[Audio commentary (DVD)|commentary]] from Caine, Hodges and Suschitzky, constructed from separate interviews with the three. The soundtrack was presented in [[Monaural|1.0 mono]] [[Dolby Digital]].<ref name=Haflidason>{{cite web |last=Haflidason |first=Almar |title=Get Carter DVD review (2000) |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2000/10/17/get_carter_1971_dvd_review.shtml |work=BBCi Films review |publisher=BBC |access-date=18 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925050747/http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2000/10/17/get_carter_1971_dvd_review.shtml |archive-date=25 September 2015 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

''Get Carter'' was released on [[Blu-ray Disc]] by Warner on April 22, 2014; this release features the same extras as the special edition DVD, but due to a manufacturing error, American pressings of the disc utilize the dubbed American version of the opening sequence instead of the original audio. This change was carried over to the initial British pressings of the disc, but was later reversed following public backlash; later British pressings sold by outlets such as [[Amazon (company)|Amazon UK]] feature the original audio track.<ref name="Savant">{{cite web |title=Get Carter: Warner Archive Collection Blu-ray |url=https://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s4464cart.html |work=DVD Savant |publisher=[[DVD Talk]] |access-date=2 June 2021}}</ref>
