You can watch Doctor Who on several streaming platforms depending on your region and preferences:
- Disney+ : The newest episodes starting from the 60th anniversary (including the 14th and 15th Doctors) are exclusively available on Disney+ worldwide, with German dubbing available in Germany
- Amazon Prime Video (BBC Player Channel) : Seasons 9 to 13 and many specials, as well as some classic episodes, are available via the BBC Player channel on Amazon Prime in Germany, which requires an additional subscription fee
- BBC iPlayer : Almost all classic and new episodes (except a few due to rights issues) are available on BBC iPlayer in the UK. Access from outside the UK requires a VPN set to the UK
- Tubi : The classic series is available for free on Tubi in the US, but a VPN set to the US is needed if you are outside the country
- Max (formerly HBO Max) and Hulu : In the US, Doctor Who is also available for streaming on Max and Hulu
- Pluto TV : Offers free streaming of Doctor Who with ads in the US
For Germany, the primary legal streaming option for new episodes is Disney+, while older seasons can be found on Amazon Prime via the BBC Player channel. For full access to the entire series, including classics, BBC iPlayer (with VPN) is recommended. In summary:
