You can watch Call the Midwife on several major streaming platforms, but it depends on your country and whether you want a subscription service or to buy episodes.

Main ways to watch

  • In the UK , recent seasons stream on BBC iPlayer for free with a TV licence, and some episodes are also available on UKTV Play with ads.
  • In the US , the show is available on Netflix (subscription), and also streams via certain PBS-affiliated services such as Thirteen or WETA+ in many regions.
  • In both the US and other regions, you can buy seasons or episodes digitally on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home , and in some cases borrow or stream via Hoopla or cable on-demand platforms like Spectrum.

Here is a quick viewing options table (availability can change, so always double‑check on the service itself):

Region Watch with subscription Watch free (with ads or licence) Buy / rent
UK BBC iPlayer (with TV licence) BBC iPlayer, UKTV Play Amazon Video, Apple TV, Sky Store
US Netflix, PBS-linked streaming (Thirteen, WETA+ in some areas) Some PBS local sites/apps, Hoopla, certain regional free ad-supported channels Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, DVDs/Blu‑ray retailers

Newer seasons and timing

  • New seasons often premiere first on BBC in the UK, then appear on PBS platforms and later on Netflix in the US.
  • Around 2025–2026, guides highlight that you can stream the latest seasons for free on BBC iPlayer in the UK and via PBS apps/sites in the US for limited windows, sometimes with early access for PBS Passport members.

Practical tip

  • If you’re unsure what’s available where you live, search the show name directly inside Netflix, BBC iPlayer, PBS, or your preferred store and compare whether it’s included with your plan or requires a separate purchase.
