You can watch "Doctor Who" on several platforms depending on your location and preferences:
- Disney+ : The new episodes starting with the 14th Doctor and the 60th anniversary specials are exclusively available on Disney+ worldwide, including German-dubbed versions. This is currently the only place to watch the latest seasons as Disney+ holds exclusive rights for new content outside the UK
- BBC iPlayer : If you are in the UK, nearly all classic and modern episodes (except a few lost or rights-restricted ones) are available on the BBC iPlayer. This includes episodes from the 1st to the 13th Doctor and various spin-offs. Access requires being in the UK or using a VPN to connect to the UK
- Amazon Prime Video (BBC Player Channel) : In Germany and some other regions, seasons 9-13 and many specials are available via the BBC Player channel on Amazon Prime Video for an additional fee. Some classic episodes are also included here. This channel requires an extra subscription but offers a legal way to watch many recent seasons in German
- Max (formerly HBO Max) : In the US, "Doctor Who" is available for streaming on Max, with plans starting at $9.99/month. It also appears on Max Amazon Channel and free with ads on Pluto TV. Episodes can be purchased on platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Video as well

- DVD/Blu-ray : Physical copies of many seasons and episodes are available for purchase worldwide, which is an option if streaming is not available or preferred
In summary, for the latest "Doctor Who" content, Disney+ is the primary streaming service globally (outside the UK).

Free options like Tubi exist mainly for classic episodes in the US. VPNs may be required to access some regional services
