Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Hasbro, Inc. and all consolidated subsidiaries ("Hasbro" or the "Company") as of June 29, 2025, June 30, 2024, and December 29, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows and shareholders' equity for the periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, there were no recently adopted accounting standards that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements in Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment requires public companies to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for
reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, under the amendment, entities are required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, as well as disaggregated by material individual jurisdictions. Finally, the amendment requires entities to disclose income from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. The new rules are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The new standard requires enhanced additional disclosures related to certain expense categories. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
There were no other recently issued accounting pronouncements which would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods, functional intellectual property or production is transferred to the customers or licensees, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from sales of finished products to customers. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Company's 2024 Annual Report for the Company's revenue recognition accounting policy.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contracts to license certain of the Company’s intellectual property, providing licensees right-to-use or access such intellectual property for use in the production and sale of consumer products and digital game development, location-based entertainment, and for use within content for distribution over streaming platforms and for television and film. Through these arrangements, the Company may receive advanced royalty payments from licensees, either in advance of a licensees’ subsequent sales to customers or prior to the completion of the Company’s performance obligation. In addition, the Company’s Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment may receive advanced payments from end users of its digital games at the time of the initial purchase, through in-application purchases or through subscription services. The Company defers revenues on all licensee and digital gaming advanced payments until the respective performance obligations are satisfied. The Company records the aggregate deferred revenues as contract liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on the basis of the expected consideration under the contract with the customer. The Company records contract assets, primarily related to (1) minimum guarantees being recognized in advance of contractual invoicing, which are recognized ratably over the terms of the respective license periods, and (2) film and television distribution revenues recorded for content delivered, where payment will occur over the license term. The current portion of contract assets is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion is recorded within Other long-term assets on the basis of expected receipt of cash per contractual terms.
Disaggregation of revenues
The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by reportable segment: Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming, Consumer Products, and Entertainment. The Company further disaggregates revenues within its Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming segment by category: Tabletop Gaming and Digital and Licensed Gaming; within its Consumer Products segment by major geographic region: North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific; and within its Entertainment segment by category: Film & TV and Family Brands. Finally, the Company disaggregates its revenues by brand portfolio into three brand categories: Grow Brands, Optimize Brands, and Reinvent Brands. We believe these collectively depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
