What's available

Hulu is not officially available in Portugal. The service is licensed exclusively for the United States, which means you cannot sign up or stream directly from a Portuguese IP address. If you try to visit Hulu.com from Portugal, you'll hit a geo-block before you can access any content.

What you're missing

By being outside the US, you're locked out of Hulu's full library, which is one of the strongest in streaming. Specific titles you're missing include:

  • The Bear — the critically acclaimed chef drama everyone is talking about
  • Only Murders in the Building — starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez
  • Abbott Elementary — the breakout mockumentary sitcom from ABC
  • The Handmaid's Tale — Hulu's flagship original series
  • Shogun (2024) — the FX limited series that swept the Emmy Awards
  • Prey — the Predator prequel film exclusive to Hulu
  • No Exit and other Hulu original films
  • Live TV add-ons, including sports and news channels

How to access other regions

To watch Hulu from Portugal, you need a VPN that can reliably bypass Hulu's geo-restrictions. A VPN masks your real IP address and routes your connection through a server in a supported country.

Steps to get started

  • Subscribe to a VPN — we recommend NordVPN as the most reliable option for streaming
  • Connect to a US server — NordVPN has hundreds of US locations; cities like New York or Los Angeles work well
  • Create a Hulu account using a US billing method (a US-issued card or a gift card purchased online)
  • Stream as normal — if Hulu detects the VPN, switch to a different US server

Pricing

Hulu prices are set in US dollars. The ad-supported plan starts at $7.99/month, while the ad-free plan costs $17.99/month. Hulu + Live TV starts at $82.99/month. You'll need a US payment method to subscribe, as Hulu does not accept Portuguese cards directly.

Our recommendation

If you want access to Hulu from Portugal, using NordVPN connected to a US server is your most straightforward path. The combination of NordVPN's fast speeds and Hulu's deep content library — especially FX originals like Shogun and The Bear — makes it well worth the effort. Set it up once and you'll have consistent, high-quality access to one of the best streaming catalogs available.
