The Japanese music production company SweepRecord will release a physical version of the Ace Combat 7 soundtrack in December 2019, with catalog number SRIN-1162. Purchases through SweepRecord's Japanese or international stores will ship on December 20; third-party purchases will ship on December 30. The soundtrack was initially slated to release earlier in the month, but it was delayed in November due to the addition of more tracks that were still being recorded.

In addition to the 100 tracks on six CDs, the physical release will include notes from Keiki Kobayashi, Ryo Watanabe, Mitsuhiro Kitadani, Hiroshi Okubo, Junichi Nakatsuru, Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Yusuke Kudo, Yusuke Yamauchi, Manabu Shimomoto, and Kazutoki Kono. Before taxes and shipping, the Ace Combat 7 soundtrack is priced at ¥7,000 (approx. USD$65).

This is the first physical Ace Combat soundtrack release to be officially sold outside of Japan, not including the limited partial release of the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Original Soundtrack.
