Best VPNs for Prime Video in 2026
Where these results come from: published tests by Safelyo, Top10VPN and vpnMentor, each credited and linked below. Our own spot checks: none yet. We run spot checks in the US only, so results for every other country come from other sites alone.
This page lists what other sites’ tests found for Prime Video, country by country. It is written for readers who watch their own Prime Video subscription at home with a VPN switched on, so the only question for each country is whether the VPN’s servers in that country were blocked by Prime Video in that country.
Which VPNs work with Prime Video?

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ExpressVPN | Recommended in the US | 10–14 (by plan) | 30 days (new users) | Apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and iPad, Android, Apple TV, Fire Stick and Android TV; extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge; routers |

The table holds only VPNs that meet our threshold in at least one country, and today that country is the US. The order is not a score: it starts with the VPNs that have the most published results. The facts in each row come from the provider’s own pages, with the date we checked them.
What do published tests show for Prime Video?
Each country has its own section, because a VPN’s servers in one country say nothing about its servers in another. Published tests from the last twelve months cover the US and the UK. Every row is one site’s own result, with its date. Results that conflict appear side by side, and results that name no country are listed apart and count toward no group.
In the US
Were each VPN's servers in the US blocked by Prime Video there? Every row is one source's own published result, credited and linked. Nothing is merged or averaged, and a result is only as current as its date.
RecommendedAt least two sources from the last 12 months, and the newest result of every one of them is a pass.

How did each VPN do in the published Prime Video tests?
The picks below follow the table. Private Internet Access (PIA) is not a pick: its US results conflict, with one site reporting a block. IPVanish, PureVPN and Surfshark each have one published US test, which is not enough for a recommendation.
1. ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN meets the threshold in the US, where all three published sources report that Prime Video played. In the UK one site has published a result for it, so it is listed there but not recommended.
Choose it if you live in the US. Skip it if you live in the UK and want more than one published test to go on.

How do you watch Prime Video with a VPN?
- Subscribe to a VPN from the table and install its app on the device you watch on.
- Connect to a server in the country you live in, where your Prime Video account is registered.
- Open Prime Video, sign in to your own account and play a title.
- If it does not play, try another server in your country, then follow the steps in our troubleshooting guide.
Does Prime Video allow VPNs?
Read the service’s terms first. This guide is about using a VPN in the country you live in, with your own subscription. It does not cover reaching a catalog the service offers elsewhere, a VPN does not replace the subscription, and we do not promise that the service will play.
Prime Video’s own help center asks viewers whose titles won’t play to “Deactivate any VPN or proxy servers.”

FAQ
What is the best VPN for Prime Video?
On published tests from the last twelve months, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, NordVPN and Proton VPN meet our threshold in the US. No VPN meets it in the UK yet. These results come from other sites’ tests and can change when a newer one comes in.
Can you watch Prime Video with a free VPN?
Prime Video’s help center asks you to turn VPNs off when a title won’t play. A paid plan with a refund period lets you try it for yourself.
Why does Prime Video not work with your VPN?
Prime Video’s help center lists VPN and proxy servers among the things to turn off when a title won’t play. Try another server in the country you live in, then ask the VPN’s support for help. Our Prime Video troubleshooting guide goes through the fixes.
Is it legal to watch Prime Video with a VPN?
Prime Video can restrict VPN use in its terms. Read them first. This is general information, not legal advice.
How do we decide which VPNs to recommend for a streaming service?
We count published tests from the last twelve months, separately for each country, and one of our own spot checks counts as one source. A VPN needs at least two sources whose newest results all report a pass.
