Finding a show as wholesome as Bluey shouldn’t feel like solving a Rubik's Cube. But here we are. Between different apps, regional blackouts, and that one random episode you can only find on YouTube, figuring out where can we watch Bluey is surprisingly complex.
It's a global phenomenon. Honestly, I’ve seen more adults obsessed with Bandit’s parenting style than kids obsessed with the "Keepy Uppy" game. Because the show is produced in Australia by Ludo Studio but distributed globally by BBC Studios and Disney, the streaming rights are scattered across the map like a messy toy box.
The Disney Plus Monopoly (Mostly)
If you are in the United States, Canada, or most of Europe, your first and biggest stop is Disney+.
They basically own the international streaming rights. It is the most reliable place to find all three full seasons, including the massive 28-minute special episode "The Sign" and the newer "Minisodes" that started dropping in 2024. Most people just assume everything is there. It usually is.
But there is a catch. Disney+ has a history of "editing" certain episodes for American audiences. Remember the "Exercise" episode? Or "Dad Baby"? If you’re looking for the raw, unedited Australian versions, Disney+ might let you down. Some episodes were either slightly trimmed or removed entirely to fit "internal standards."
Streaming Bluey in the United States
- Disney+: The heavy hitter. You get 4K quality and most of the library.
- DisneyNow: If you still have a cable login, you can watch for free here. It's often overlooked but handy.
- FuboTV & Sling TV: These are great if you want to catch the show live on Disney Junior or Disney Channel without a long-term commitment.
Why Australia Gets the Best Version
You’ve probably heard people say Bluey is better in Australia. They aren't just being snobs about the accent.
In its home country, Bluey lives on ABC iview. It is free. It is uncensored. It is the "source" for everything Heeler-related.
Because the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) co-commissioned the show, they get everything first. If you happen to be visiting Brisbane—or if you have a very high-quality VPN—iview is the gold standard. They don’t cut the jokes about birth or the slightly grosser humor that makes the show feel "real life."
The UK Situation: BBC vs. Disney
The United Kingdom is a weird middle ground.
Since BBC Studios co-owns the distribution, Bluey actually pops up on BBC iPlayer and CBeebies. It’s a fantastic free option for UK residents. However, iPlayer usually doesn't have every single episode at once. They rotate them.
If you want the full binge experience in London or Manchester, you still likely need a Disney+ subscription to fill in the gaps that the BBC leaves behind. It's a bit of a tug-of-war between the two platforms.

Watching Bluey for Free (Legally)
You don't always need a credit card to find where can we watch Bluey.
The official Bluey YouTube channel is actually a goldmine. They don't just post clips; they often upload full episodes, compilations, and behind-the-scenes "Making of" videos. During the holidays, they even run 24/7 live streams.
It’s great for a quick fix. You won't get the full Season 3 library in chronological order, but for a toddler who just wants to see "Grannies" for the 50th time, it works perfectly.
Is Bluey on Netflix?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: It probably never will be. Disney and the BBC have a tight grip on these rights. Unless a massive corporate earthquake happens, don't expect to see Bluey sitting next to CoComelon or Peppa Pig on the Netflix home screen.

The 2026 Disney Parks Shift
Something most people aren't talking about yet is how "watching" Bluey is changing into "experiencing" Bluey.
Starting in early 2026, Disney is leaning hard into Bluey at the theme parks. There’s a new "Bluey’s World" experience in Brisbane, but more importantly for US fans, Bluey and Bingo are officially moving into Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. This matters because it signals that Disney isn't letting go of those streaming rights anytime soon. They are doubling down.
If you’re planning a trip to Orlando in Summer 2026, you’ll likely be able to see the characters live at the Conservation Station. It's not a TV screen, but for a five-year-old, it’s the ultimate way to "watch" the show.
Actionable Tips for Parents
Don't just default to the most expensive plan. If you want to watch the show without a subscription, start with the official Bluey YouTube channel. It is safe, moderated, and free.
If you are a purist and want the original Australian episodes, look into the physical DVD releases. They are becoming rare, but they are the only way to ensure no "censorship" has happened to the episodes.
Check your local library’s digital catalog through apps like Libby or Hoopla. Many libraries carry Bluey DVDs or digital copies that you can borrow for free with a library card. It is a total pro-parent move that saves ten bucks a month.
Lastly, if you’re traveling, remember that your Disney+ login works globally, but the library might change. What you can see in New York might be different from what you can see in Paris due to those local licensing deals.
