How & Where to Watch Band of Brothers in 2023: Watch Online From Anywhere

Where to Watch Band of Brothers

Since it’s a relatively old show, ‘Band of Brothers’ exists online on many different platforms, owing to complicated licensing agreements that span back more than two decades. The show was originally made by HBO, which means that for a long time, the only place to watch it online (at least in the U.S.) was on one of HBO’s streaming services. Luckily, that’s all changed.

Which Streaming Services Have Band of Brothers?

‘Band of Brothers’ is available on a number of streaming services around the world. In the U.S. it’s available on Max and Netflix. It can be found on a number of regional streaming services, such as Crave in Canada, Amazon Prime Video with Warner Pass in France, WOW in Germany, Binge in Australia and many more.

How to Watch Band of Brothers for Free

At the time of writing, the entire season of ‘Band of Brothers’ is available for free without registering on the Internet Archive. Archive.org generally only stores copyright-free material or content that’s already entered the public domain, so it’s hard to say how long ‘Band of Brothers’ will remain available on the site, as to our knowledge, the show is not in the public domain.

Is Band of Brothers On Netflix?

Yes, ‘Band of Brothers’ was added to Netflix in the U.S., most Latin American countries (including Netflix Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Ecuador) and a few Asian countries (including Netflix Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and Malaysia) at the time of writing. 

However, in some European and African countries (as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand), it’s still only available on Max or on regional platforms that hold the license, such as Sky. That means if you’re in one of these regions and want to watch ‘Band of Brothers’ on Netflix, you’ll have to use a VPN.

How to Unblock Netflix US & Other Libraries

Fortunately, getting into another country’s Netflix library is simple. All you need is a virtual private network (VPN) to mask your IP address and make it seem like you’re physically located in the country where you want to access content.

How to Watch Band of Brothers With a VPN

In order to trick Netflix into thinking you’re in another country, you’ll need a VPN that’s capable of getting past its geoblocks. Luckily, there are many options for this, so check out our list of the best Netflix VPNs if you don’t already have one. 

For this example, we’re using our top recommendation — ExpressVPN — but the instructions will be similar for most Netflix-capable VPNs.

1. Subscribe to and Install a VPN

   Go to a reputable VPN provider’s website and register for an account by entering your details. Most providers — including ExpressVPN — are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Once you’ve signed up, download the VPN client and follow the instructions to complete the installation.

   

2. Connect to a Server in the Closest Available Country

   Once the VPN client is open, find a server in a country where ‘Band of Brothers’ is on Netflix. A U.S. server will work, but so will any server in Latin America. If you’re in Asia, try Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia or Taiwan.

   

3. Log in to Netflix and Start Streaming

   Once you’re connected to a VPN server, open up Netflix in your web browser or app, search for ‘Band of Brothers’ and start streaming.

   

The Best VPNs for Watching Band of Brothers

In order to watch ‘Band of Brothers,’ you’ll need a VPN capable of cracking into Netflix or Max (or both). Luckily, the top two streaming VPNs both get into either platform with ease, making them ideal options for watching ‘Band of Brothers.’

1. ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is the best VPN for Netflix, as well as the best streaming VPN in general. This is because of its excellent performance when breaking into streaming platforms, as well as its lightning-fast speeds no matter what server you connect to.

Unfortunately, it’s a little more expensive than most, at $6.66 per month on the yearly plan. That said, you get what you pay for, and what you get is a VPN that never falters when you need to get into a different streaming library or platform. You can try it out risk-free using the 30-day money-back guarantee, or head over to our ExpressVPN review to learn more.

Plot, Cast & Characters: Band of Brothers (Minor Spoilers)

Created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, ‘Band of Brothers’ chronicles the true story of Easy Company, a unit of U.S. Army paratroopers during World War II. The series stars Damian Lewis as Richard “Dick” Winters and Ron Livingston as Lewis Nixon, two green U.S. Army officers. The show features a huge ensemble of characters that all get a good amount of time in the limelight.

The series starts with the characters undergoing paratrooper training under an incompetent new commander, Herbert Sobel (played by David Schwimmer). From there, the series quickly throws you into the chaos of D-Day and the Allied invasion of France as the scattered men of Easy Company regroup in the Normandy countryside under the leadership of Lieutenant Richard D. Winters (played by Damian Lewis).

As the mini-series progresses through the remaining years of World War II, Winters leads Easy Company through remarkable achievements as the elite team of men discover their breaking point. Whether it’s going on a risky mission behind enemy lines or encountering the emaciated prisoners of an abandoned Nazi concentration camp, the series keeps you on your toes all the way through the concluding episode. 

You also get to see interviews with the real-life survivors of Easy Company at the beginning and end of each episode as they share their own memories of World War II.
