When we think of the streaming wars, we likely think of big brand names such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus and Amazon Prime Video battling to dominate.

But there’s actually another less-known contender: Tubi, the free, ad-based and markedly unflashy service owned by Fox Corp.

It already operates in North America, where it was reported to have 100 million active users in 2025, achieving 1 billion viewing hours.

But is the service, which launched in the US way back in 2014, available in the UK? Read on for everything you need to know.

Is Tubi available in the UK?

Yes, Tubi launched in the UK in July 2024.

You can access the free service through your Amazon Prime account.

How to watch Tubi

The service is completely free of charge – and you don’t even need to create an account if you don’t want to.

To start streaming, all you need to do is download the app on your device or visit the Tubi website, where you’ll be asked to enter a first name, your age and your gender – and then you’ll be able to start watching.

You can also sign up to the service through Amazon Prime.
