PLOT
Three years after the events of the last sequel (Pitch Perfect 2), the Bellas have graduated college, but have jobs which they all hate. Desperate to see each other again to sing once more, Becca, Fat Amy, Chloe, Aubrey, Lilly, Stacie, Cynthia, Florencia, Jessica and Ashley are all thrilled to learn that Emily, now a senior at Barden and leader of the Barden Bellas, has seemingly asked for the Bellas to reunite at an event in New York Aquarium to sing with each other once more. Upon arriving at the reunion they are told that the reunion wasn't for the Bellas to sing together, but to watch Emily sing with the new Bellas.
They later gather at a bar in disappointment and Emily apologises as she thought it would be the only way for them to see each other again. They all express how much they miss each other. Suddenly, Aubrey attempts to convince them to join a USO performance accessed by her Army officer father. If they win the competition, they get to open for DJ Khalid. The Bellas later arrive at a hangar where two soldiers, Chicago and Zeke introduce them to their competition, revealed to be three other groups who use instruments unlike the Bellas. When the band Evermoist, lead by their leader Calamity begin to mock and belittle the Bellas, the competition is challenged to a riff-off by the Bellas, who leave defeated when the other groups compete using their musical instruments.
The Bellas are taken to a fancy hotel in Spain, where Chloe begins to catch an eye for Chicago. Fat Amy finds an old stuffed bunny sitting in her bed, which she recognises as an old toy she used to hold when she was very little as her father Fergus sang her to sleep every night. Amy then realises her father is staying in the same hotel she is in and is shocked upon the discovery, seeing as how Fergus is an international criminal. Later that night, the Bellas are invited to a party at DJ Khalid's suite at the hotel, where Fat Amy splits with the group when she is called to be at a poker tournament. The tournament was set up by Fergus, who promptly begs for Amy to be back in his life. A hesitant Amy finally agrees to do so after seeing how much he has changed. Beca, who develops a friendship with DJ Khalid's music producer Theo, is taken to DJ Khalid's music editing room. Beca produces a mix which impresses Theo who is prompted to send the mix to DJ Khalid. Moments later, the party is thrown into chaos when Aubrey accidentally sets the suite on fire.
The Bellas are left in disgrace after the incident with no hopes of winning the competition until Stacie calls the girls to inform she has given birth to a baby girl and named her Bella.This motivates the Bellas to just perform their hearts out without trying to win. Back at the USO competition, the Bellas perform tremendously to adoring crowds through different performances, repairing their reputation in the process. Fergus, accepted by Amy who believes he came to one of their performances to see her, accidentally reveals that he has not seen her perform at all while confessing that he is only trying to acquire an offshore account Amy's mother set up which contains US$180 million. After Amy shuts out Fergus again, Chicago and Zeke escort her away from her father, who swears revenge on her. Meanwhile, only Beca is asked personally by DJ Khalid to open for him, disregarding the other Bellas. Beca politely declines the offer and leaves to her room. Later the Bellas are taken away by a Frenchman in a dark grey van out onto a yacht in a nearby harbour. The yacht belongs to Fergus, who is using the Bellas as means to get Amy to come home for him. Amy and Beca hear of the kidnapping and decide to rescue the Bellas. Beca distracts Fergus by having the Bellas perform, Toxic, for him and two of his men, just as Amy sets the yacht to explode. The Bellas escape the yacht to explode. The Bellas escape the yacht just before it blows. Fergus survived the explosion and is arrested for his crimes.
After the Bellas are rescued by the military, Fat Amy reveals DJ Khalid's proposition to Beca to the others. They encourage her to take the chance, and they all agree that now it's time to move on with their lives, with Amy using her bank account for multiple tributes to singers named Amy, Flo's juice cart becomes part of an international brand, Chloe gets accepted into vet school, Cynthia Rose stays at the base to get into flight, Emily goes back to school while continuing her songwriting, and Lilly reveals that the reason she was quiet was because she was possessed by Satan and the yacht incident snapped her out of it, and that her real name is Esther. They know very well they'll be separated, but still be connected to each other as a family. Later at the USO's final performance, Beca opens for DJ Khalid and sings on stage, and afterwards brings up the Bellas onstage for the girls to sing their final performance with the other competitions gladly watching the Bellas sing, Freedom 90, to their hearts content.
Gail and John finish filming the Bellas as part of a documentary they have been making about the girls throughout the whole film, only to be appalled when John realises they didn't record the Bella's final performance, which was supposed to be the documentary's big ending. A series of mid credit scenes reveal the Bella's separate story arcs closed out to their mostly happy endings, while Lilly hangs around with DJ Dragon Nutz whom she flirted with earlier. Chloe and Chicago made out whilst Beca spoke with Theo about her new job now that he works for her, and Aubrey reconnects with her father.
