We get these questions a lot…
“Is Netflix available in Europe?”
“Is Netflix available in Asia?”
“Is Netflix available in Australia?”
For some reason, we had just kind of assumed that Netflix streamed in most countries around the world. Well, it in fact turns out that this is not the case. The below map, credit to Redditor neo7 for posting, shows just how limited Netflix actually is. Lo and behold, Europe, Asia and Africa are almost completely void of our favorite content provider. We learned that many Australians have figured a way around being blocked, but we won’t get into that…
For those curious here is a map of countries where iTunes is available too
Updates:
9/11/2013 – Netflix now streaming in the Netherlands!
Netflix is now available in 41 countries around the globe
Updates:
September 15th 2014: Netflix is now available in France, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium Austria, Switzerland – We’re guessing this European expansion will only continue to grow.
Netflix outside the US also has a much more limited selection of shows and movies. Most people I know in Ireland who use it have come up with ways to connect to the US service as the local selection is so limited.
That does seem relatively common, for people to find ways around their own country’s limited selection.
I often go to continental Europe and Italy, specifically, How do they access Netflix as subscribers and stream it on their sets there? I have a smart TV in Italy. Can it be done through the TV? OR do you find some proxy site and watch it through your computers?
Get Hola – free plugin for several browsers. It let’s me watch netflix in Germany
Use the service of unlocator.com
Its currently free, and works on all devices, including tv’s, apple tv and so forth
That’s not exactly true. I can get on both US and UK Netflix (don’t ask) and I can get better movies in UK.
I don’t think the USA has the best choices. I much rather watch UK, Brazil, Australia. In fact the US the last place I go All they have is the same crap that is on their TV networks.
You’d much rather watch the Australia content? How’s that working out for ya?
I haven’t seen an Aussie Netflix… I like Switzerland and Brazil’s selections….Denmark, Belgium, Mexico all have great stuff
Not true. Many movies are available in UK and Canada that aren’t available on the US stream. But if you only stream, its quick and easy to change your region and browse other countries for added material.
I use it regularly in Argentina. But honestly, the selection of shows and movies is the worst ever. Fortunately, it’s way cheaper.
Try using a VPN, I’m in the Dominican Republic and I get all of the USA content here.
Juan como puedo hacer eso si vivo en Brasil?
Rio
To watch American netflix in Brazil you need what is called a vpn service. It will give you an ip address from the US or other countriesfind one which has US included. Thisway netflix thinks you are in the The US and not in Brazil. Thereare many companies most of them are not perfect anddissconect at times. If you have android i found express vpn to be good hotspot shield is good for ipads i have both systems and have tried mant vpns and these are ok, they do have a charge though. The free hotspot is pretty good but you have to pay for the other one about 8 usd, ut it is worth itprotects your computer from credit card theft also and makes you safer. Hopes this helps.
I use zen mate, which is a bit different. It’s like a vpn, but for chrome web store. Also, it includes only UK and US, sadly. But I can’t download things off the internet and use them
use hola its awesome
I regularly find shows and movies I want to watch available only in Mexico or south America countries.other times they are only available in Nordic countries or the UK.some stuff is in Canada or USA.you have different cool stuff in different countries, just depends on what you want to watch. No one country has the best stuff to watch. USA and Canada are missing ah lot of classic movies and some newly released movies also.
^^ I found a free VPN and now I’ve been searching around the Netflix from other countries. I was surprised that the English Netflix has the Hobbit already, while the Mexican one has the tv series House while missing the Walking Dead. I recommend everyone to get a VPN, I believe Netflix doesn’t mind…because the subscription price is the same in all the countries 😀
Oh, how sweet. This is my motivation for a vpn.
You can use media hint, a plugin fore firefox, it’s free, and you can watch netflix .com, .dk or any netflix just put the correct country code at the end and it will take you there.
you can even watch bbc for free on bbc.co.uk
you can activate and deactivate it under plugins in firefox.
i dont think it uses vpn, and i dint know how it works.
Try UnoTelly, they use DNS settings so you can get US Netflix on all kinds of devices. It’s not free, but it’s a great way to access US Netflix and a lot of other websites that are normally blocked.
I watch ALL OF THEM… any Netflix country on demand and switching everytime I want… I use http://www.unblock-us.com $5 a month and a week free upfront to test before you pay… you guys should try them out…
Swedens works great too.
I use Hola.org
I live in Mexico and there are lots of things that are available here that aren’t available in the US, and vice versa. There are also things that are available in Canada that aren’t available in the US. I am watching “The Sheild” right now on Canadian netflix. I use Hide My Ass, very dependable.
