Tubi, a popular free streaming platform in the U.S., offers a vast collection of movies and shows through an ad-supported model. However, it's not available in France, leaving many wondering why.
The primary reason is licensing restrictions. Tubi must secure rights for each country it operates in, and many of its movies and shows are already licensed to other platforms in France, blocking their availability on Tubi.
Additionally, competition from local services like MyTF1 and France.tv, and French regulations mandating a quota of locally-produced content, make Tubi’s entry more complicated. France's cultural laws require streaming platforms to dedicate a significant portion of their library to European productions, something that Tubi's largely Hollywood-based catalog doesn’t fulfill.
Ultimately, these factors, along with geoblocking, prevent French users from accessing Tubi, and it's uncertain whether the platform will expand into France soon.
How You Can Still Access It
Still, it’s possible to access Tubi in France using a VPN. A VPN allows users to bypass geo-restrictions by connecting to a server in a country where Tubi is available, such as the U.S. While this method works, it may violate Tubi's terms of service, so users should proceed with caution.
