What is Tubi TV?

Tubi Logo

Tubi TV is an American streaming service owned by the Fox Corporation that was first launched in 2014, before coming to Australia in 2019. Its niche is that it’s completely free, and has a wide variety of shows and movies available in its library, although don’t expect A-List movies, with the majority of these titles safely in the ‘bottom of the barrel’ category. However, if you don’t have high expectations for your movies, it can be a wild night in.

How much does Tubi TV cost?

Tubi TV is a completely free service, with no sign-up or subscription fee, although you’ll have to put up with regular ad breaks throughout your viewing, similar to how Spotify’s free tier works.

Is Tubi TV worth it?

They say you get what you pay for, and that can particularly true in Tubi TV’s case. While it doesn’t cost you a cent to sign up or watch, the movies on hand are some of the most ridiculous titles you’ve seen, with the likes of Titanic II and Ants on a Plane enticing you in. However, there are a few golden nuggets in there, and even bad movies can make for a good movie night, so if you’re looking to save your money for more popcorn, Tubi TV might be the streaming service for you.
