What you're missing

Apple TV+ is largely consistent across regions, but some licensed content and live sports differ. New Zealand subscribers miss out on MLB Friday Night Baseball, which is available to US subscribers. A small number of older licensed films and regional sports packages tied to the US market are also absent. Titles like Major League Baseball broadcasts and certain live event specials simply don't appear in your New Zealand account.

How to access other regions

If you want to unlock the full US Apple TV+ experience, a VPN is your best option. A VPN routes your connection through a server in another country, making Apple TV+ think you're browsing from that location.

  • Connect to a United States server to access the US library, including live sports
  • Make sure to connect before opening the Apple TV+ app or website
  • Use a VPN with fast streaming speeds to avoid buffering

We recommend NordVPN as the top choice. It reliably unblocks Apple TV+ and offers fast US servers ideal for HD and 4K streaming.

Pricing

Apple TV+ in New Zealand costs NZ$12.99 per month. An annual plan is available at a reduced rate. Apple One bundle plans, which include Apple Music and iCloud storage, start at NZ$21.95 per month and offer better overall value if you use multiple Apple services.

Our recommendation

Apple TV+ is excellent value in New Zealand — you get nearly the full originals library at a competitive price. The only real gap is live US sports, which you can bridge by connecting to a US server through NordVPN. If you're already invested in the Apple ecosystem, the Apple One bundle makes even more sense.
