Quick Answer: Stream Doctor Who Season 14 for free on BBC iPlayer (VPN required) or watch with a Disney+ subscription.
Doctor Who is back for a new season — this time with a brand-new incarnation of the titular character: Fifteenth Doctor, portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education, Barbie). Fifteenth Doctor will be teamed up with Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson.
Technically on its 14th season (and also, in a way, its 40th), the show is getting a rebrand this year as Season One, but we’ll mostly refer to it as Season 14 in this article.
If you want to watch Doctor Who Season 14, read on. Below is a full guide on how to watch Doctor Who in the U.S., including an easy way to access the U.K.’s free Doctor Who streams and where to stream past seasons of the hit series.
Stream Doctor Who Season 14 for Free with a VPN
The best way to watch Doctor Who Season 14 is to stream the series on BBC iPlayer; a free U.K. streaming service. Although normally only available to U.K. viewers, fans in the U.S. can access BBC iPlayer with a good VPN. These services let you securely connect to U.K. servers, essentially tricking your streaming device into thinking it’s in the U.K. (or any other region).
If you don’t already have a VPN, we suggest ExpressVPN or NordVPN. Both are fast and boast secure encryption at a reasonable price, letting you access geo-restricted content all over the world. Both cost around $13 a month (less if you pay for multiple months upfront) and come with 30-day money-back guarantees.
ExpressVPN
One of the most popular VPNs, ExpressVPN works in 105 countries and offers safe, fast service. ExpressVPN costs $12.95 a month, but you can save by paying for six or 12 months upfront. All subscriptions come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
