•Uplifting in ϕ2near the boundary causes to dwindle f′(ξ) and enhance it in long distance from boundary.•Velocity field g(ξ) enhances with the enhancing  ∈  and dwindles with increasing the Ha, Weand ϕ2.•The values of thermal Biot number is increased, the θ(ξ)profile also enhanced.•Surface drag force in terms of Ha changes has inverse relation to x-axis and directly relation to y-axis.•Rate of heat transfer is more in MoS2−Ag hybrid nanofluid is more than that of TiO2−CuO hybrid nanofluid. Herein, the numerical investigation is carried out to study the flow and heat transfer analysis through a hybrid nanofluid flow over a porous medium. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformations. The resulting ODEs are solved by a numerical technique using RKF-45 Method. Through graphs, the impacts of pertinent parameters on energy and velocity field were deliberated. Indeed, the outcomes were quite promising. It is noticed that, the surface drag force in terms of Hartman number changes has inverse relation to x -axis and directly relation to y-axis. Furthermore, the rate of heat transfer is more in MoS_2-Ag hybrid nanofluid is more than that of TiO_2-CuO hybrid nanofluid.
