Unlock MUBI Worldwide with a Free VPN

MUBI is the world's most respected arthouse streaming service, hand-curating a rotating selection of Cannes winners, Criterion classics, and contemporary independent cinema. The catch is that its catalog changes by country — films enter and leave MUBI on strict regional licensing windows, so the version you see in Paris differs enormously from the one in New York or Tokyo. VPN Wave lets you switch between MUBI regions in one tap so you can catch a Lynch retrospective in the UK, a Jia Zhangke programme in the US, or a rare Agnès Varda short only licensed in France.

Why Use VPN Wave for MUBI

MUBI's licensing is more region-specific than any other major streaming service because it pays for limited theatrical-style windows rather than catch-all rights. That means a film on MUBI Germany may not be on MUBI US or MUBI UK at the same time, and a cinephile's wishlist rarely fits inside a single region. VPN Wave assigns you an IP from the country carrying the title you want so you see the full program on the subscription you already pay for. It also keeps your viewing history private on hotel and café Wi-Fi — a small but welcome detail for anyone with an especially personal watchlist.

Download VPN Wave from the App Store

Install VPN Wave on your iPhone — free, no account or credit card required.

Connect to the country with the film you want

Open MUBI and start streaming

Launch the MUBI app or visit mubi.com. The catalog will reflect the country you connected to, with all regionally licensed films now playable.

MUBI Notebook publishes region-specific essays tied to each country's current programme — switching regions is worth it just for the reading list.
Films leave MUBI on a 30-day rotation, so if you see something you love, save time to finish it before it rotates out of your region.
MUBI GO (US and UK) sends a free cinema ticket each week tied to your local city — the benefit is region-locked to your billing country rather than your VPN region.
The French and Italian MUBI libraries tend to have the largest archives of 20th-century European classics, while MUBI US leans toward current festival darlings.

Can I switch MUBI regions with a VPN?

Yes. Connect to a server in your desired country with VPN Wave and MUBI will serve that region's curated catalog, with all the films licensed for that market.

Does MUBI really have different films in each country?

Yes. MUBI licenses films individually per region, so the overlap between MUBI US, UK, France, and Germany is smaller than on any mainstream streaming service.

Is VPN Wave free for MUBI streaming?

Yes. VPN Wave is free on the App Store. You still need a MUBI subscription, but VPN Wave lets one subscription unlock every regional catalog.

Which MUBI country has the best catalog?

It depends on your taste. The UK and France are strongest for European arthouse, the US for contemporary indie, Japan for Asian cinema, and Italy for classic Italian masters.

Can I watch MUBI's film-of-the-day feature abroad?

Yes. MUBI's daily curated pick rotates per region. A VPN lets you see what every country's editors are featuring on any given day.

How do I unblock MUBI films on iPhone?

Install VPN Wave, connect to the country where the film you want is licensed, then open the MUBI app. The previously locked title will now be available in your library.
