At a Glance: Where To Watch Doctor Who?

In some countries like the U.S., U.K. and Canada, you can also buy ‘Doctor Who’ on buy/rental platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video, but since it’s so easy to stream all episodes for free, you shouldn’t need to do this.

Which Streaming Services Have Doctor Who Season 14?

You can stream ‘Doctor Who’ season 14 on Disney+ (international) from May 10, 2024 (U.S. time), but this is a paid platform. Luckily, the new season arrives on BBC iPlayer — which is a free platform — on May 11, 2024, at midnight (U.K. time). 

If you’re overseas at the time of ‘Doctor Who’ season 14’s release on BBC iPlayer, you can connect to a British server on a VPN to use the streaming service. If you keep scrolling, you’ll find a step-by-step tutorial on how to do that. 

Is Doctor Who Season 14 on Netflix?

No, ‘Doctor Who’ season 14 is not on Netflix because Disney+ is the platform with the rights to stream the season internationally, while the BBC has the U.K. rights. However, copyright agreements for streaming platforms change fairly often, so there’s a chance ‘Doctor Who’ could come to Netflix one day. 

How to Watch Doctor Who Free Online With a VPN

If you’ve never used a VPN before, you may be feeling confused about how you can use one to bypass geoblocks. Check out this tutorial on how to unblock BBC iPlayer with a VPN from outside the U.K. and stream ‘Doctor Who’ for free. We used ExpressVPN as our example.

1. Sign up for a VPN

   Once you’ve settled on a VPN, head to the provider’s website to choose a plan that works for you. ExpressVPN and many other reliable services let you claim your money back within 30 days if you’re not satisfied.

   

2. Download the VPN App

   Download the app file from the provider’s website, then open the file to install the app on your device. Mobile users can download the app onto their device directly from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iOS).

   

3. Connect to a U.K. Server

   Log in to the VPN’s app and navigate to the server list. Select a U.K. server from the list, then click “connect.”

   

4. Stream ‘Doctor Who’ on BBC iPlayer

   Go to BBC iPlayer and create an account if you haven’t already — when prompted, enter any U.K. postcode. Click “yes” when asked if you have a TV license. Once you’ve logged in, search for ‘Doctor Who’ to start streaming.

The Best VPNs to Stream Doctor Who

If you need a VPN to access BBC iPlayer or another service, you’ll want to make sure the provider you opt for has servers in your target country and is fast and secure. All VPNs come with their pros and cons (check out the full reviews for providers to learn more about this), but some have many more pros than they do cons, including the following providers:

• ExpressVPN: This is a VPN service we’ve been using and testing for years and with which we’ve always had a positive experience in terms of security, speed and ease of use. You can learn more about our best overall VPN recommendation in our ExpressVPN review. 
• NordVPN: In addition to having the best overall speeds and affordable plans, NordVPN offers a range of extra features you can include in or leave out of your plan as needed. Pop over to our NordVPN review for the full lowdown. 
• Surfshark: This is a cheap and cheerful VPN service that doesn’t scrimp on features, Surfshark is a decent choice for those looking to save a few dollars. You probably already guessed it, but here’s our Surfshark review for those curious to know more. 
• PrivadoVPN: Privado VPN is the best option for those in need of a secure free VPN service. Like other free services, PrivadoVPN has its limitations, but it has a free U.K. server and works well with streaming platforms like BBC iPlayer. We’ve got a full PrivadoVPN review that discusses the ins and outs of the service.
