how to get tubi on tv

To get Tubi on your TV, you just need to install the Tubi app on your TV or streaming device, then sign in or activate it with a code on tubi.tv.

What Tubi Is (Quick context)

Tubi is a free, ad‑supported streaming service with thousands of movies and TV shows.

You don’t need a paid subscription, but you usually do need an account to sync watchlists and continue watching across devices.

Basic steps: how to get Tubi on TV

These steps work similarly on most Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, TCL) and streaming devices (Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, etc.).

Turn on your TV and connect it to Wi‑Fi.

Go to the Home screen (press the Home button on the remote).

Open your TV’s app store (e.g., Samsung Apps, LG Content Store, Google Play on Android TV, Roku Channel Store, Fire TV Appstore).

Use the Search function and type “Tubi”.

Select the Tubi app from the search results.

Choose Install / Get / Add to Home and wait for it to download.

Open Tubi from your Home screen or Apps list.

At this point you can often start watching right away, but for the best experience you should create or sign into a Tubi account.

Activating Tubi on your TV (with code)

Many TVs show you an activation code the first time you open Tubi.

Launch Tubi on your TV; an activation code appears on screen.

On your phone or computer, go to the Tubi activation page (linked from tubi.tv).

Enter the activation code displayed on your TV and confirm.

Your TV app should refresh and log you into your account automatically.

Once activated, your watch history and favorites sync across devices.

Brand‑specific notes

Different TVs have slightly different menus, but the pattern is the same: open app store → search “Tubi” → install → open.

Samsung / Android TV / Google TV

From the Home screen, choose Apps or the Search icon.

Search for “Tubi” (sometimes shown as “Tubi – Movies & TV”).

Select it, then click Download / Install.

Google TV (Chromecast with Google TV, some Sony/TCL):

Open Apps or the Google Play Store.
Search “Tubi”, install, then open it from the Apps row.

LG Smart TV

Open the LG Content Store.

Use the search icon, type “Tubi”, then install it.

Note: Available in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Australia; availability can differ in other countries.

Vizio Smart TV

From the Vizio Home Screen, go to Apps.

Search “Tubi”, then select “Add to Home” or Install.

If Tubi doesn’t show up on your TV

Sometimes Tubi isn’t available in your region or on very old TV models.

You still have options:

Use a streaming device (Roku, Fire Stick, Google TV):
- Plug it into an HDMI port on your TV.
- Connect it to Wi‑Fi and sign in.
- Open its app store, search “Tubi”, install, and open.

Cast from your phone:
- Install the Tubi app on your iOS or Android device via the App Store/Google Play.

* Make sure your phone and TV (or Chromecast) are on the same Wi‑Fi.

* Open Tubi on your phone, start a video, and use the Cast icon to send it to a Chromecast‑supported TV.

In regions where Tubi isn’t officially available, some users sideload the Android TV app and use a VPN, but that’s more advanced and depends on local rules and your comfort level.
