Academic procrastination is the intentional delay of academic tasks or responsibilities until deadlines draw near, even when individuals are aware of the negative consequences of such postponement. For final-year university students working on their thesis, high academic pressure often triggers avoidance behaviors through leisure activities, one of which is binge-watching. This study examines the relationship between binge-watching habits and academic procrastination among university students. The purpose of this research is to determine whether there is a relationship between binge-watching activities and the level of academic procrastination. The participants in this study were final-year students who were actively working on their thesis at universities located in the Jakarta area. The research used a non-experimental correlational design. A total of 100 students from various universities in Jakarta were recruited using purposive sampling. The instruments used were the Binge-Watching Engagement Scale Questionnaire (BWESQ) and the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS). Data processing was carried out using SPSS version 25.0. The results of the Pearson Product-Moment correlation analysis showed a correlation coefficient of 0.086 with a significance value of 0.393 (p > 0.05). This indicates that there is no significant relationship between binge-watching and academic procrastination among final-year university students.
