Bates Motel can be watched on multiple platforms depending on the region:
- In the United States, Bates Motel's first season is available for streaming on NBC, while all five seasons can be bought or rented on Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, and YouTube TV. It is not available on Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+, or Apple TV. Alternatively, the entire series can be streamed for free using a VPN to access Channel 4 (UK) or 7plus (Australia) which have all seasons available for free streaming.
- In the United Kingdom, Bates Motel is freely available on Channel 4 for all five seasons. It can also be bought or rented on Amazon Prime Video.
- In Canada, Bates Motel is not directly available on Canadian platforms but can be streamed for free through Channel 4 or 7plus using a VPN.
- In Australia, Bates Motel is available for free streaming on 7plus, while the full series can be bought on Fetch.
For free streaming outside the UK and Australia, using a VPN to connect to these countries' servers (UK for Channel 4, Australia for 7plus) is recommended. Popular VPNs for this purpose include NordVPN, Surfshark, and IPVanish. So, the best options for watching Bates Motel in 2025 are Amazon Prime Video for purchase or rental, NBC for season 1 (US only), and free streaming on Channel 4 (UK) or 7plus (Australia) via VPN if outside those countries.
