Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world, so it should come as no surprise that it also tops the most sought-after foreign-language content. Thankfully, as streaming services continue to expand and diversify, many streamers both local and international, live and on-demand, have cropped up to address this need. 

In this list, we round up the best streaming services for Spanish and Spanish-speaking viewers. Some of the live TV options, like Fubo and Sling, offer Spanish channels as add-ons, while on-demand platforms like Peacock and Hulu have a separate, easy-to-navigate section for Spanish titles.

Much has been said about the merits of 4k viewing: with extra pixels packed into the screen, a video in 4k (also known as ultra high-definition or UHD) looks crisper, cleaner, and clearer. If you haven't made the switch already, it's worth considering if you want the ultimate viewing experience. But 4k also comes with its own prerequisites. You have to make sure your internet is fast enough to support such high-definition viewing, and you'll need a compatible device, which usually comes in the form of a smart TV, a streaming device, or a gaming console. The final requirement is, of course, having 4k titles available. 

Enter streaming services. Not all of them offer 4k options, and even then, they might charge 4k viewing at a premium. But there are still plenty to choose from. Netflix and Amazon Prime should still be your go-to when it comes to quantity, while Max comes highly recommended when it comes to quality. For live TV, DirecTV Stream and Fubo (for select events) are reliable services as well. Below is a full round-up of your 4k streaming options.

Everything comes at a price these days, so when entertainment platforms claim to be "completely free," we all know what that really means: ads, and often lots of them. In streaming, this has resulted in the emergence of AVOD or advertising-based video-on-demand platforms. You don't have to pay a single penny to watch a film or TV show on AVOD streamers, but you do have to get used to seeing a commercial pop up just as a climactic scene is about to unfold. 

Tubi, Pluto TV, and Roku are some of the more popular options when it comes to streaming free, but there are plenty more to choose from online. Below, we give you a full rundown of your best options. 

When it comes to quantity, it's pretty hard to beat Netflix. As it partners with local studios and distributors worldwide, the streamer has built an enviable global reach and, consequently, a wide array of diverse titles. But even then, its catalog is still pretty limited.

In Europe, streaming services have been popping up nonstop to address this void. Some, like Portugal's Spamflix, offer the most niche titles in the area, while others like the UK's TrueStory aim to deliver little-heard stories across the world. Below, we list the best of Europe's homegrown streamers.

Maybe it's because of their clever comebacks, their whipsmart dialogues, or their cool demeanor, but there's something about British media that steals your heart. Many of Hollywood's best actors hail from that side of the Atlantic, and so do some of the best films and TV shows of our time. Period dramas, in particular, are quite something else when helmed by the English.

This is why below, we've rounded up the best British streaming services available in the U.S. If you ever have a hankering for all things UK, look no further than the list below.

One of the best things about the new streaming age is that many services, to stand out, specialize in a single thing. There are streamers dedicated solely to classics, reality shows, live TV, and horror films. In this list, we're rounding up the best of the educational streamers. 

Some of them will be kids-focused, like Noggin and Hopster, but most of the services in this list offer quality lessons on topics like history, geography, race, and culture. Unsurprisingly, many also lean on documentary and non-fiction styles of reporting.

Ireland has a fair amount of streaming options to choose from; you don't have to look further than big players like Netflix and Disney+ for a wide array of films and TV shows. But like most areas outside of the US (and thanks to expensive licensing agreements), titles that get to crossover are still pretty limited.

Thankfully, a number of new and local streamers have cropped up to answer those needs. Curzon Home Cinema offers pay-per-view movie releases, while Rakuten TV, if you own one, gives you add-ons like Starz, which boasts a number of popular and American titles. Below, we round up the very best streaming services for Irish viewers.

When speaking of the best in streaming, it's hard to top the likes of Netflix and Disney, companies whose global presence remains unmatched. Still, there are limits to their reach. Both streamers have titles available only in the U.S., for example, while film specialists like HBO Max and Hulu can only be used within the same area. 

To fill in this gap, the UK has produced its own streaming services. Curzon Home Cinema offers users the chance to see the latest releases upon payment, while NOW has both live streaming and video-on-demand content (it also has licensed titles from American-based media studios like Fox).

Below, we list the very best streamers in the U.K.: a good mix of global and local services. 

Ever since Netflix made "streaming" a household term, competitors have sprung up left and right. Hulu was one of the first to rival the streaming giant, and while its progress was slow, it now boasts an enviable position near the top. 

Legacy networks like NBC, CBS, and HBO followed suit, and pretty soon, a cord-cutting movement had begun. There are now more shows and channels than ever online, with networks and media companies alike hopping onboard the streaming ship. In this list, we've round up the best among the latest launched. 

Netflix keeps increasing its prices. Live TV cord-cutting services cost almost as much as cable. It's all getting kind of out of hand. 

The cheapest on-demand streaming services are the ad-supported ones like Tubi and Vudu, which are completely free. Then, there are services that cost around $5 to $10: Apple TV+, Hulu with ads, Funimation, Topic, and a few others. In this list, we count down the cheapest on-demand streaming services.

CanCon allowed Canadian music to succeed domestically and reach international audiences. Sadly, the same doesn't really exist for streaming. 

The next best thing is investing in Canada-based streaming services. One that stands out is Fearless.li, an inclusion-oriented streaming service from Toronto. Then of course there is Crave, owned by Bell Media. Shomi was another alternative, owned by Rogers and Shaw, but it shut down in 2016, only two years after it was launched. 

While monthly subscriptions remain the more popular and flexible option for most users, annual subscriptions still have notable benefits to them. For one, they're often cheaper. Amazon Prime, for example, slashes almost $40 on its membership fee when paid annually rather than monthly. A yearly payment also saves you from the burden of having to make the same decision constantly; no need to see the same biller charge you multiple times a year. 

Sadly, it's not an offer available to all streaming services. Below, we list the best ones that do have annual payments as an option. It may not be a long list, but if you're a dedicated subscriber who's sure to use the same streaming service for months, then it's sure to be a useful one. 

Lovers of classics often have to resort to physical mediums, such as DVDs and Blurays, since that's where the quality is usually best. 

However, you might have noticed that streamers like Criterion have been better at restoring classics, some even specialize in that. 

Below we count down the best streaming services for lovers of classics.

Not all video game consoles can host streaming apps, making Xbox's ability to do so quite special. Like any other streaming device, most Xbox models can give you access to on-demand services like Hulu as well as live TV services like YouTube TV.

There are plenty to choose from, so it's important to know which among these offer free trials. Trials are a great way to test a service before fully committing to it, and below, we list the very best of these available to try on your Xbox device.
