Is Crunchyroll Available in Your Country? Full 2026 List
Crunchyroll is in 200+ countries but the US gets the full library. Europe gets 60-80%, Latin America 40-60%. What your country is missing and alternatives.
Crunchyroll works in 200+ countries but the US has the fullest library. Europe gets 60-80% of the US catalog. Latin America and Southeast Asia get 40-60%. The free tier is gone since 2024. Manga service is US/Canada/UK/Australia only.
Crunchyroll is the biggest dedicated anime streaming platform, with over 2,000 series and 17+ million paid subscribers following its absorption of Funimation in 2024 (Crunchyroll, 2025). Crunchyroll is technically available in over 200 countries and territories — wider reach than most streaming services. But "available" and "same library" are very different things. What you can actually watch on Crunchyroll depends heavily on your country.
Where Crunchyroll is available
Crunchyroll works in 200+ countries, covering most of the world. The biggest Crunchyroll libraries are in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Western Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and the Nordics). Latin America, Southeast Asia, India, and parts of the Middle East have Crunchyroll access too, but with noticeably smaller catalogs.
Japan — where most anime originates — has Crunchyroll, but the Crunchyroll Japan library looks very different from the US catalog since many titles go to local broadcasters and competing Japanese platforms like d Anime Store and U-NEXT.
How anime libraries differ by region
The US has the most complete Crunchyroll library: the widest simulcast selection (new episodes within hours of the Japanese broadcast) and the deepest back catalog. European Crunchyroll libraries generally include 60-80% of US titles depending on territory. Latin American and Southeast Asian catalogs tend to be smaller, sometimes 40-60% of what's available in the US.
Some shows are missing entirely from certain regions because another platform already secured local rights — an anime might sit on Netflix in one country and on Crunchyroll everywhere else. Netflix in particular has been aggressive about locking up exclusive anime rights in specific territories.
Why anime licensing fragments the library
Anime licensing works territory by territory. Japanese production committees — the groups that actually fund anime production — sell distribution rights to different buyers in different markets. Crunchyroll tries to acquire as many territories as it can, but Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and local broadcasters outbid Crunchyroll in specific regions. The result: even on the world's largest anime platform, your country determines what you get.
Manga service and the end of the free tier
Crunchyroll used to have a free ad-supported tier with a limited library. Crunchyroll removed the free tier in 2024 when the Funimation merger completed. Crunchyroll now requires a paid subscription, starting at $7.99/month (Fan tier) in the US.
The Crunchyroll Manga service — digital manga alongside the anime catalog — only works in select regions, mainly the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Crunchyroll Manga availability is more limited than the anime catalog.
Alternatives for anime fans
Netflix has a growing anime catalog in nearly every market, including exclusives like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Pluto. HIDIVE focuses on niche and classic anime and operates in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and parts of Europe. In Japan, d Anime Store and U-NEXT have the largest local anime libraries. Bilibili is the go-to anime platform in China and parts of Southeast Asia. Amazon Prime Video carries some anime as well, though fewer simulcast titles than Crunchyroll or Netflix.
For same-day simulcasts, Crunchyroll is still the primary source in most markets — Netflix and Amazon rarely match Crunchyroll's speed for new releases.
