What's available

Apple TV+ in the UK gives you access to a strong lineup of original content. You can watch critically acclaimed drama series like Severance, The Morning Show, Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, and Bad Sisters. Sci-fi fans are well served with For All Mankind, Foundation, and Silo. On the film side, UK subscribers can stream movies including CODA, Killers of the Flower Moon, Luck, and Finch. Children's content includes Wolfwalkers and Prehistoric Planet.

What you're missing

Apple TV+ operates a largely consistent global library, which is one of its strengths. However, some licensed content and regional sports deals differ. UK subscribers miss out on MLS Season Pass football coverage, which is available in the US and Canada. Certain documentary features and short-form content occasionally appear in the US library before rolling out elsewhere. Titles like The Elephant Queen and select older licensed films have had availability gaps in the UK. Live sports events tied to US broadcasting rights are also unavailable.

How to access other regions

If you want to unlock content from another region, a VPN lets you change your apparent location by routing your connection through a server abroad. To access the US Apple TV+ library, connect to a US server, then open Apple TV+ as normal.

Our primary recommendation is NordVPN. It offers fast, reliable US servers that work well with streaming services, and it's straightforward to set up on smart TVs, phones, and laptops. Simply install NordVPN, select a United States server, and browse Apple TV+ to see the expanded catalogue.

  • Connect to a US server for the largest Apple TV+ library
  • Try servers in Canada or Australia for alternative regional content
  • NordVPN works across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Apple TV

Pricing

Apple TV+ in the UK costs £8.99 per month. You can also access it through an Apple One bundle starting at £19.95 per month, which includes Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and iCloud storage. New Apple device buyers often receive a free three-month trial.

Our recommendation

Apple TV+ is genuinely excellent value in the UK — the core library is nearly identical to the US, and quality is consistently high. If you want to catch live MLS matches or grab a title before it reaches the UK, connect with NordVPN to a US server and you're sorted. For most viewers, the standard UK subscription covers everything you need.
