On August 1, 2025—known as "Spider-Man Day"—Sony released a nine-second teaser of the film's new Spider-Man costume. It has comics-accurate red and blue colors, raised webbing, and the same faint hexagonal webbing design on the fabric from Holland's previous suits. Michael McWhertor at ''[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]'' likened the raised webbing to the suits worn by Maguire and said the fabric was "glittery and textured", a contrast to Holland's prior high-tech suits. ''[[Gizmodo]]''{{'s}} James Whitbrook said the new costume retained some of the "metallic shiny blue" from the suit that was introduced at the end of ''No Way Home''. The next day, a twenty-second teaser was released with a full look at Holland in costume. Justin Carter, also at ''Gizmodo'', said the biggest change other than the raised webbing was the spider logo on the chest, which is bigger than the one on Holland's previous costumes. Carter also noted the use of Giacchino's MCU Spider-Man theme in the teaser. Jordan Moreau at ''Variety'' said the full costume was closer to the comics than Holland's previous costumes, while McKinley Franklin of ''The Hollywood Reporter'' said it resembled the suits worn by Maguire and Garfield in previous films. On August 10, Sony released a behind-the-scenes video recapping the first day of filming. Jack Dunn, also of ''Variety'', felt Sony and Marvel had been generous with the amount of looks at the film they had released thus far.

The first trailer was released on March 18, 2026. Sony partnered with fans and [[Influencer|content creators]] around the world to release short clips of the trailer on the previous day. Tom Bacon at ''ComicBook.com'' compared this release strategy to a [[Avengers: Doomsday#Marketing|cast announcement livestream]] that Marvel Studios used for ''Doomsday'' the prior year, noting how both were intended to "maximize engagement" throughout the day. He thought it was nice that fans were included in the strategy, but questioned the lack of a pattern for the short clips, which were mostly "vibes-based" atmospheric shots without context. Rebecah Jacobs at ''[[Men's Journal]]'' and Kaitlyn Booth of ''[[Bleeding Cool]]'' both described the rollout as a [[scavenger hunt]]. Jacobs felt this was more interactive than the ''Doomsday'' livestream, while Booth was more critical of the approach. ''Variety''{{'s}} Zack Sharf thought the "gloomy, slow-motion aesthetic" of the footage was closer to director [[Zack Snyder]]'s films than the previous MCU ''Spider-Man'' films. Several commentators noted that the footage features Spider-Man swinging with a civilian in an homage to the cover of ''Amazing Fantasy'' #15. Commentators also discussed the trailer's reveal that Parker's superpowers are mutating to include organic web shooters and black eyes, with some believing that this was an adaptation of "[[The Six Arms Saga]]" from ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' vol. 1 #100–102 (1971)—which was also adapted for the [[Man-Spider]] storyline from the "[[Neogenic Nightmare]]" arc of ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'' (1995–96)—or the 2005–06 "[[The Other (comic book storyline)|The Other]]" comic book crossover storyline. Sony stated that the trailer became the most-viewed ever with 718.6 million views in 24 hours, according to market research firm WaveMetrix. It surpassed the 365 million views of the previous film record holder, Marvel Studios' ''[[Deadpool & Wolverine]]'' (2024), in eight hours, and also surpassed the overall 24-hour trailer record set by the video game ''[[Grand Theft Auto VI]]'' (2026). WaveMetrix further reported that within four days the trailer surpassed 1.1 billion views, becoming the first film trailer to cross that threshold.

Rothman and Holland introduced footage from the film at [[CinemaCon]] in April.

Rothman and Holland introduced footage from the film at the [[CinemaCon]] convention in mid-April 2026. Rothman called ''Brand New Day'' "as big as anything we've ever made, and yet it feels like nothing we've ever made", while also praising Holland's performance in the film as his "finest".
