What Countries Can You Watch Hulu In? Anywhere With a Workaround

Although Hulu’s popularity is on the rise, the service is not yet available in many regions. This may not be an issue with shows available elsewhere but is annoying in regards to Hulu exclusives. If you’re wondering how to access Hulu content in your region, we’ve got your back.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to gain access to Hulu using a VPN for Fire TV and Apple TV. Read on to find out how to watch great shows no matter where you reside.

How Many Countries Have Access to Hulu?

Currently, Hulu only streams in the United States, Puerto Rico, and military bases, and in some locations in Japan. The service isn’t yet available anywhere outside these locations, but streaming Hulu from anywhere isn’t hard with the right VPN.

How to Change Your Location and Watch Hulu Anywhere on a Fire Stick

If you live in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, India, France, Italy, or Spain, you can use Amazon Fire Stick’s functionality to the fullest. This means you can install a VPN. If you’re unfamiliar with this term, VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN serves multiple functions, one of which is changing your virtual location from an actual to a chosen one. That’s the very feature we’ll be using to let you watch Hulu outside of Japan or the US.
