Best Free Streaming Sites
Look, finding free streaming sites that actually work (and won't give your computer a virus) is harder than it should be. I've spent way too much time testing these platforms so you don't have to. Here's my honest take on what's worth your time in 2026.
UPDATED FEB 2026How I Rank These Sites (My Process)
Okay, so here's the deal. I test every single one of these sites myself—no joke. I check how often they update their content, how annoying the ads are (some are REALLY bad), and whether the video quality is actually watchable. The streaming world changes fast, and sites come and go all the time. That's why I update this list pretty frequently—usually every couple weeks when I notice changes or when sites go down.
If you find this helpful, definitely bookmark this page because you'll want to check back. And hey, if you know someone who's tired of paying for 5 different streaming services, send them this link. Trust me, they'll thank you.

About Those Ads...
Little to no pop-ups. Pleasant experience.
Some ads but manageable with uBlock Origin.
Pop-ups can be annoying. Use an ad-blocker!
Pro tip: Get uBlock Origin or Brave browser. Makes everything better.
The Complete List (Top 40)
Ranked from best to "meh, it's okay I guess"
Quick Legal Thing: I don't host anything here, and I'm not affiliated with any of these sites. This is purely informational—basically just me sharing what I've found. Use at your own discretion!
A Few Extra Tips From Me
Always use an ad-blocker. Seriously. uBlock Origin is free and works great. Some of these sites have more pop-ups than a 90s website.
Quality varies. Just because something is ranked lower doesn't mean it's terrible—it might just have more ads or be slower to load. The top 10 are genuinely solid though.
Site not loading? Click the 📡 status button to check if it's actually down or just a problem on your end. This opens IsItDownRightNow.com which will tell you if the site is up or down.
Found a broken link? Click the 🚩 report button next to any site that's not working. This helps me keep the list accurate! I check reports regularly and update the rankings.
Bookmark this page! I'm constantly updating it (last check was literally this morning). If you come back in a week or two, you might see some changes or new additions.
Got questions? Found a broken link? Think I should add a site that's better than these? Let me know! I'm just one person trying to help folks find decent free streaming. No fancy team, no corporate sponsors—just me and my laptop. ✌️
Quick Q&A (stuff people actually ask me)
A: That's... complicated. The legality varies by country. I'm just listing what exists. Use your judgment and maybe check your local laws if you're worried.
A: Click the 📡 status button next to the site name. It'll check if the site is actually down or if it's just an issue on your end (like your ISP blocking it).
A: Either I haven't tested it yet, it didn't meet my criteria, or it went down. If you think I'm missing something good, let me know!
A: I've personally used all the ones in the top 15. Haven't had any issues. Just use an ad-blocker and don't download anything sketchy.
A: Nope. Zero money. Just doing this because I was frustrated with all the crappy "best streaming sites" lists that were clearly just SEO spam.
