Yes, you can. Outlander seasons 1 through season 5 are available in many Netflix libraries with a VPN. To explore VPN options for Netflix in full, check out our Best VPN for Netflix article.
Yes, however you need to purchase individual episodes or seasons. Alternatively, you can use the Starz add-on in the U.S. which has a free seven-day trial. You can pair that with Amazon Prime’s 30-day trial if you’re a new subscriber.
Many streaming services and VPNs offer free trials via money-back guarantees. There’s also torrenting, of course, but it’s a ginormous security risk without a VPN. Read more in our article on torrenting with a VPN.
How to Watch Outlander: Streaming From the Starz
Starz is Outlander’s home network, so Outlander is available to stream there. If you’ve got a Hulu account, you can add Starz starting from $5.99 a month and watch every Outlander season.
Due to geoblocking restrictions, if you’re not in the U.S. you won’t be able to access Hulu or Starz without a VPN (more on that below). With a VPN, you can unblock the Hulu and Starz streaming libraries to watch Outlander and other movies such as The Handmaid’s Tale and American Horror Story. Learn more about VPNs in our What Is a VPN article.
How to Watch Outlander Season 6: Starz, Prime Video & Netflix
Outlander season six is available on U.S. streaming service Starz. If you’re not in the U.S., you can use a VPN to connect to a U.S. server.
It’s also available on Amazon Prime Video U.S., but not free with a Prime subscription. You can purchase individual episodes and seasons, or add on Starz to watch it. There’s a free seven-day trial with Starz and you can use that together with Amazon Prime’s 30-day free trial.
Outlander is also available on Netflix in the U.S., though you’ll only find seasons one through season five on there due to exclusivity rights. However, if you want to watch Outlander season six, you can use a VPN to reach a different Netflix library to get around that issue.
