Apple TV+ in Every Country: Complete 2026 Availability Guide

Apple TV+ launched on November 1, 2019 in 100+ countries simultaneously — one of the most globally coordinated streaming launches in history. Unlike Netflix, which expanded country by country over a decade, or Disney+, which rolled out regionally, Apple launched Apple TV+ everywhere it sells iPhones and Apple devices on a single day. The service is available in most of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. One key differentiator: because Apple TV+ only carries Apple Originals, every subscriber in every country gets the exact same catalog — no geo-restrictions on content.

Apple TV+ is available in 100+ countries including all major markets: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, India, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, South Africa, and dozens more. It is not available in China (where Apple operates a restricted App Store under Chinese regulations), Russia (Apple restricted operations after 2022), Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.

Coverage is broader than Disney+ (which operates in approximately 100 countries) but narrower than Amazon Prime Video (240+) and Netflix (190+). The gap is primarily in African countries, smaller Asian markets, and some Middle Eastern territories where Apple has limited or no App Store presence.

Apple TV+ is unique among major streaming services because it carries no licensed third-party content. Every title is an Apple Original — produced and owned by Apple. This means there are no territorial licensing conflicts, no distribution deals to honor with local broadcasters, and no rights windows to manage.

The shows and films you see on Apple TV+ in the US are identical to those in Germany, Japan, India, or Brazil. Ted Lasso (UK production), Severance (US), Slow Horses (UK), Pachinko (Korea/Canada/US multi-territory production) — all available everywhere Apple TV+ operates. Apple has invested over $6 billion annually in content since 2022, with productions spanning English, Korean, Spanish, German, and other languages.

Apple TV+ uses localized pricing. US: $9.99/month. UK: £8.99/month. India: ₹99/month (~$1.18 — one of the cheapest streaming prices globally). Germany: €9.99/month. Japan: ¥900/month (~$6). Brazil: R$21.90/month (~$4.30). Australia: A$12.99/month.

The India pricing is strikingly aggressive: at ₹99/month, it is 10x cheaper than the US price in dollar terms. This reflects Apple's strategy to build device and services loyalty in the world's second-largest smartphone market. Apple TV+ is also included in Apple One bundles across most markets — combining Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and iCloud storage at a bundled discount.

Apple TV+ subscriptions work in any country where the service is available. If you have a US account and travel to France, Japan, or Australia, your Apple TV+ works normally. Downloads for offline viewing also travel with you — content downloaded in one country plays back in another.

The Apple ID country matters for billing, not for content access. If your Apple ID is set to the United States, you pay in USD regardless of where you physically use the service. This makes Apple TV+ one of the most travel-friendly streaming services — there is no geo-fencing on playback for subscribers.

Apple TV+ has the smallest catalog of any major streaming service — approximately 300–400 titles as of 2026, compared to Netflix's 7,000+ (US) or Amazon Prime Video's 24,000+. Apple has been intentional about this: rather than licensing thousands of titles, Apple produces a curated set of Originals targeting critical acclaim and awards attention.

The strategy is working. Apple TV+ has won 74 Emmy Awards and multiple Academy Awards (CODA won Best Picture in 2022 — the first streaming platform to win the top Oscar). Ted Lasso won 11 Emmys. Severance and The Morning Show have driven significant subscriber growth. Apple does not publish subscriber counts, but industry estimates place Apple TV+ at approximately 35–45 million subscribers globally as of early 2026.
