What's available
Amazon Prime Video in the UK gives you access to a strong library of originals and licensed content. You can watch Amazon exclusives like The Boys, Reacher, Rings of Power, Fallout, and Invincible. UK subscribers also get Good Omens, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Clarkson's Farm. On the film side, you'll find titles like Air, The Idea of You, and Saltburn. Live Premier League football is also available as an add-on through Prime Video Sport.
What you're missing
Compared to the US library, the UK catalogue has notable gaps. Several licensed films cycle in and out more slowly, and some titles simply aren't licensed for UK distribution. You're currently missing US-available films like Goodfellas, The Dark Knight, and a wider selection of classic Hollywood titles. Some third-party channel add-ons available in the US, such as certain Paramount+ content bundles, aren't structured the same way in the UK. Regional sports content also differs significantly.
How to access other regions
Using a VPN lets you connect to a server in another country, making Amazon Prime Video think you're browsing from that location. To access the US library, connect to a US server before opening the app or website. For the broadest content selection, the United States is your best target region.
We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It reliably unblocks Amazon Prime Video, offers fast streaming speeds, and has a large number of US servers to choose from. Simply install NordVPN, connect to a US server, and refresh your Prime Video session.
Pricing
- Amazon Prime membership: £8.99 per month or £95 per year

- Add-on channels (e.g. MGM+, BritBox) are priced separately and vary
Our recommendation
Amazon Prime Video in the UK is worth having, especially if you're already an Amazon Prime subscriber and want access to originals like Reacher and Fallout. However, if you want the full catalogue — particularly a wider range of licensed films — connecting through NordVPN on a US server is the easiest way to unlock what you're missing. Set it up once and you'll rarely need to think about it again.
