Best way to watch Friends online in the U.S.

If you want to watch Friends online, the best way to do so is by signing up for HBO Max. The service only launched in 2020 but since then, its catalog has expanded to include a ton of great content including every episode of Friends. Movies like King Richard, Nightmare Alley, Dune, and The Batman are all available on the service, alongside TV shows such as Barry, Peacemaker, And Just Like That, and — of course — Friends.

All 10 seasons are available to watch in HD on HBO Max, including the recent Friends Reunion show.

There’s no free trial for HBO Max but there are two different plans. Users can choose to sign up for the ad-supported model for $10 per month or $100 per year. Alternatively, you can sign up for the ad-free package for $15 per month or $150 per year, and be able to download shows to watch offline. The ad-free plan also offers some shows in 4K but this does not include Friends, which is only available in HD.

Other ways to watch Friends online in the U.S.

Friends is most easily watched by signing up to HBO Max but there are other options. It’s possible to stream all 10 seasons through DirecTV. Alternatively, two seasons are available through Spectrum On Demand while one season is accessible via TBS.

If you would prefer to buy or rent copies of Friends, there are even more options. It’s possible to do so via Amazon Video, Vudu, Google Play Store, iTunes, and Microsoft Store. In all cases, Friends can be solely watched in HD resolution with no 4K option. When buying or renting, users can also choose to watch individual episodes rather than commit to all ten seasons.

How to watch Friends from anywhere in the world

If you’re someone that regularly travels to other countries, you may have noticed issues accessing your online accounts due to being located away from home. When it comes to streaming, HBO Max isn’t available everywhere in the world so it may be difficult to watch Friends when traveling.

The best way to circumvent this is to use one of the best VPNs. Such services mean that you can connect to a U.S. server while traveling abroad fooling the streaming service into thinking you’re back home and watching it. Our favorite VPN is ExpressVPN. It offers fast speeds, a reliable connection, and works well with streaming services so you can easily watch HBO Max and all your favorites, even if you’re traveling abroad at the time.

Fox Sports subscribers will be delighted to know that they gain access to all the World Cup matches so if you've got a subscription, you're covered. For everyone else, an excellent choice is to sign up for fuboTV. fuboTV is a streaming service that focuses on live TV and sports so it's perfectly suited for the World Cup. Right now, you can sign up to a fuboTV free trial and get seven days of access to the service for free, giving you ample opportunity to watch this match and others. While that week's worth of access means you won't get to watch the full World Cup, it's a good entry point if you just want to take in the atmosphere for free.

If you would prefer to watch the full World Cup, sign up for Hulu + Live TV. It's one of the best live TV streaming services around while costing $70 per month. For the price, you get access to over 75 live TV channels including 12 different sports channels. The plethora of choice continues with Hulu's own extensive library of TV shows, movies, and original content. There's also access to Disney Plus and ESPN+ included too so you're not going to run out of things to watch.

Looking for a free World Cup live stream? FuboTV has you covered, as it's giving new subscribers a free introductory week. After you sign up, your FuboTV free trial will let you watch Brazil vs Serbia and other World Cup 2022 games this week, albeit only for seven days. After that, you'll have to pony up $70 per month if you don't cancel your subscription before the trial period ends. Still, this is great live TV streaming package for sports fans, and it's nice to see that not all streaming services have ditched the free trial.

If you're planning to pay anyway, and especially if you're a cord-cutter looking for a full-featured streaming package, we can strongly recommend Hulu + Live TV. This one ranks at the top of our list of the best live TV streaming services because it gives you a lot of entertainment for one $70 monthly fee. With more than 75 live channels including Fox Sports, it's a great way to watch Brazil vs Serbia online, as well as tons of other sporting events, news, and live entertainment. But what makes this bundle really worth it is the inclusion of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. That's a cornucopia of streaming goodness (and right in time for Thanksgiving).
