What's available

Channel 4's streaming platform, Channel 4 streaming (formerly All 4), is geo-restricted to the UK, which means if you're in Finland, you'll hit a content block before you can watch anything. However, with the right tools in place, here's what you can access from the UK library:

  • Gogglebox and Celebrity Gogglebox — full back catalogues
  • Taskmaster — multiple series available on demand
  • Derry Girls — all three series
  • The Handmaid's Tale — early seasons before it moved exclusively to Hulu
  • Hollyoaks — extensive episode archive
  • My Brilliant Friend — the critically acclaimed Italian drama
  • Dispatches and Unreported World — investigative documentary series

What you're missing

The UK library is the largest available, so accessing it gives you the most complete experience. Without a VPN, you're missing everything. Even within the UK library, some titles have limited availability due to licensing windows. Notably absent or restricted include:

  • Frasier (reboot) — not available on Channel 4
  • It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia — not part of the library
  • True Blood — moved to other platforms
  • Some Channel 4 Films rotate out frequently, including older indie titles

How to access other regions

To watch Channel 4 from Finland, you need a VPN to mask your Finnish IP address and replace it with a UK one. Here's how to do it:

  • Subscribe to a reliable VPN — we recommend NordVPN as our top pick for speed and reliability
  • Download and install the NordVPN app on your device
  • Connect to a UK server — London servers typically work best
  • Visit Channel 4's website or app and create a free account
  • Start streaming immediately

Pricing

Channel 4 streaming is free with ads in the UK. A premium tier, Channel 4+, removes ads and costs around £3.99 per month. You'll be billed in GBP regardless of your location. NordVPN plans start from approximately €3.09 per month on longer-term plans.
