Free, with ads
Tubi’s help centre is plain about the model: “Tubi is free, but it’s supported by advertising.” There is no plan to choose; advertising carries the service.
Short answer: Tubi does not list Norway. Its help article “Supported Devices Outside of the US” begins: “If you’re located outside the United States, you can watch Tubi on the following devices:” It then names ten places: Canada, Australia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and the United Kingdom. Norway is not one of them. When we looked on 11 October 2026, the Tubi app was not in the Norwegian App Store either.
For free, legal television, Norway already has good options. NRK TV, the public broadcaster’s player, can be used without logging in. Pluto TV has run a Norwegian service with ads since May 2022, and Samsung TV Plus comes built into Samsung smart TVs. Library users also get Filmbib’s Norwegian short and documentary films. TV 2 Play, by contrast, needs a package.
If it is the U.S. Tubi you want, the first check takes one laptop and about ten minutes: connect the USip residential U.S. IP, confirm the address reads as American, open tubitv.com in a private window and play one free title as a guest. Tubi decides which connections it accepts and can refuse any of them, USip’s included.

Start with what is already offered to viewers in Norway. Each row comes from the service’s own page, help centre or app listing, read on 11 October 2026. None of these services is Tubi or part of it.
| Service | What it is | How to watch, and any sign-in |
|---|---|---|
| NRK TV and NRK Super | Norway’s public broadcaster: NRK’s channels live and its programmes on demand, with NRK Super for children | tv.nrk.no or the NRK TV app, on phones, tablets, smart TVs, Apple TV, Chromecast with Google TV and several TV providers’ boxes. NRK says “Du kan bruke hele NRK uten å logge på” (you can use all of NRK without logging in). A free NRK profile adds favourites, and children’s profiles need one. |
| Pluto TV, Norwegian service | Paramount’s free live channels and on-demand titles, launched in Norway, Sweden and Denmark on 18 May 2022 | pluto.tv or the Pluto TV app. On 11 October 2026 its Norwegian App Store listing, “Pluto TV: Gratis film og tv”, called the service free and subscription-free, and noted that it contains ads. An account is optional; a free registration lets you resume on another device. |
| Samsung TV Plus | Samsung’s free live channels, launched in the Nordic countries in April 2021; Samsung counted just under 100 channels in Norway in November 2023 | Built into recent Samsung smart TVs, with nothing extra to install. Samsung’s Norwegian product page notes that a Samsung account is required and that ads may be shown. |
| Filmbib | Norwegian short and documentary films, free for public-library users | Log in with the library number and PIN of a national library account (nasjonalt lånekort); you do not have to be in the library, according to Bergen Public Library’s page (updated 4 August 2026). |
| TV 2 Play | TV 2’s streaming service | Not free to stream. TV 2’s help centre says a TV 2 Play package is needed even to watch TV 2 Nyheter; reading news on TV2.no is free. We found nothing on TV 2 Play to stream without a package. |
Pluto TV and Samsung TV Plus work most like Tubi: free channels carried by advertising, with no plan to pick. Neither is connected to Tubi. Pluto TV belongs to Paramount and Tubi to Fox, so the two share a format, not a library.
These services are made for viewers in Norway, so switch the USip connection off before you open them. With it on, they see an American address instead of your Norwegian one.
Catalogues and channel line-ups change without notice, so check the service itself on the day; every row above was checked on 11 October 2026. We left out services we could not confirm for Norway on a first-party page. Rakuten TV, for example, says its newest free channels reach the Nordic countries, without naming Norway.

Tubi has published nothing about Norway that we could find. What we can show is what its own help page lists, what Apple’s store showed on 11 October 2026, and how Tubi licenses its films and series.
| What we checked | What we found | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Tubi’s list of places outside the U.S. | Ten places: Canada, Australia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and the United Kingdom. Norway is not among them. | Tubi Help Center, “Supported Devices Outside of the US”, read 11 October 2026 |
| The Norwegian App Store | No Tubi app. “Tubi: Movies & Live TV” from Tubi, Inc was listed the same day in the U.S., UK, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Mexican and Puerto Rican stores. | Our own look-up in Apple’s App Store, 11 October 2026 |
| Whether Tubi was ever offered in Norway | We could not confirm it either way. We found no announcement from Tubi that mentions Norway. | Tubi’s press pages and news searches, October 2026 |
| How Tubi licenses its library | Territory by territory. Its August 2026 deals with NBCUniversal and Sony Pictures run “across Australia, Canada and the U.K.” and cover more than 450 library titles. | Tubi press release, 26 August 2026 |
| Tubi UK compared with Tubi in the U.S. | Two collections. The UK service opened in July 2024 and now has “over 75,000 movies and TV episodes”; in September 2026 Tubi put its library at nearly 400,000. | Tubi press releases, 22 July 2026 and 23 September 2026 |
Read together, the rows explain the gap without guessing at Tubi’s plans. Tubi’s own list is the clearest statement of where it serves viewers, and every country it adds needs licences of its own: the deals it announced in August 2026 name three countries, not Europe as a whole. Even the UK service, Tubi’s one European service today, has a separate catalogue, far smaller than the nearly 400,000 titles Tubi gives for its library.
Nothing on Tubi’s pages promises Norway a launch, and nothing rules one out. If that changes, Norway would appear in Tubi’s help article, so look there before you set anything up.

A short portrait from Tubi’s help centre and its press releases. None of it describes a service offered in Norway.
Tubi’s help centre is plain about the model: “Tubi is free, but it’s supported by advertising.” There is no plan to choose; advertising carries the service.
Asked whether a new viewer has to set up several accounts, Tubi answers: “No. You can still continue watching as a guest or register a single Tubi Account.” A guest can start a free title straight away.
On accounts, Tubi says: “Tubi Accounts are for individuals who meet local age requirements, such as 13 or older in the United States.” Kids Mode, its section for children, works without signing in.
Fox Corporation announced in March 2020 that it would acquire Tubi. Tubi’s press releases now describe it as part of Tubi Media Group, a division of Fox Corporation. It was founded in San Francisco in 2014.
On 6 August 2026 Tubi reported 110 million monthly active users, up 14% on a year earlier, and more than 375,000 movies and TV episodes, over 400 of them Tubi Originals. Nielsen put Tubi at 2.3% of all U.S. TV viewing in April 2026.
In October 2022 Tubi said it carried over 200 live sports, entertainment and news channels. Its September 2026 release names the NFL Channel, “the NFL's 24/7 free, always-on channel”, and a Thanksgiving game.
By 23 September 2026 Tubi described its library as nearly 400,000 movies and TV episodes. On Thursday 26 November 2026 at 4:30 p.m. ET it will stream FOX Sports’ Dallas Cowboys v Philadelphia Eagles game. The release does not say whether the game can be watched outside the U.S., and we will not suggest that it can.
None of this is a promise to anyone outside the ten places on Tubi’s list: the films, the live channels and the football follow the rights Tubi holds for each territory.

Tubi’s live channels and events keep U.S. time. Oslo runs six hours ahead of New York and nine ahead of Los Angeles for most of the year. Norway and the U.S. change their clocks on different Sundays, so the gap is an hour shorter for one week in autumn and two in spring.
| U.S. time | Oslo, most weeks | Oslo, U.S. evenings of 25–31 Oct 2026 and 14–27 Mar 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| 7 p.m. Eastern | 01:00 the next day | 00:00 the next day |
| 8 p.m. Eastern, U.S. prime time | 02:00 the next day | 01:00 the next day |
| 10 p.m. Eastern | 04:00 the next day | 03:00 the next day |
| 8 p.m. Pacific | 05:00 the next day | 04:00 the next day |
| Thanksgiving game: Thursday 26 November 2026, 4:30 p.m. Eastern | 22:30 the same evening | Not affected: both autumn clock changes are over by then |
Norway leaves summer time on Sunday 25 October 2026, a week before the U.S. does on 1 November. In spring the order flips: the U.S. moves its clocks on 14 March 2027 and Norway follows on 28 March. Those two spells are the only times the gap to New York drops to five hours.
Turned the other way, 20:00 in Oslo is 2 p.m. in New York and 11 a.m. in Los Angeles, so during a Norwegian evening U.S. live channels are still in their daytime hours. Films and episodes on demand keep no clock at all. Times were worked out with the IANA time-zone data for Europe/Oslo, America/New_York and America/Los_Angeles on 11 October 2026.
Every site you open, tubitv.com included, sees the public address of your connection. In Norway that address belongs to a Norwegian network, and Nkom’s full-year report Ekomstatistikken 2025 shows which networks carry most homes and phones.
| How you connect | Largest providers (Nkom, 31 December 2025) | What Tubi sees |
|---|---|---|
| Home broadband, mostly fibre | Of all fixed subscriptions: Altibox 33.6%, Telenor 26.6%, Telia 16.3%, GlobalConnect 6.4%, NextGenTel 2.7%. Of about 2.465 million home subscriptions, 77% were on fibre. | A Norwegian IPv4 address, and on most of the big providers’ lines a Norwegian IPv6 address beside it |
| Mobile, 4G and 5G | Telenor 40.4%, Telia 32.8%, Lyse 17.1% and Unifon 2.1% of about 6.12 million mobile subscriptions | A Norwegian address from the operator, wherever in the country you are |
| Wi-Fi someone else runs: work, hotel, campus or borettslag | Whoever manages that network | A Norwegian address, and sometimes network rules that stop OpenVPN Connect from connecting at all |
These are the newest provider shares there are: on 17 August 2026 Nkom said it would stop publishing half-year figures from 2026 and keep only the full-year statistics.
IPv6, the newer address system that runs beside IPv4, is the detail most first attempts miss, and Norway uses a lot of it. Nkom’s report Internett i Norge (June 2026) found IPv6 switched on for 79% of the largest providers’ fixed connections at the end of 2025 and available to 97% of mobile subscriptions, and put IPv6’s share in Norway at 47.8% in March 2026, from Google, Facebook and APNIC measurements.
Here is why that matters for Tubi. A connection can send your IPv4 traffic through the U.S. while the device still holds a Norwegian IPv6 address. If tubitv.com reaches you over IPv6, it can see Altibox or Telenor next to the American address. Step 1 of the check below asks you to read both lines for exactly that reason.

Plenty of tools make an address checker say United States. They differ in the kind of address a service sees, and in how much a refusal can tell you afterwards.
| Option | The address Tubi sees | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Your own Norwegian line: Altibox, Telenor, Telia or another provider | A Norwegian address, often with a Norwegian IPv6 address as well | Norway is not on Tubi’s list, so do not expect the U.S. service on this address |
| Free VPN apps | Server addresses shared by many people at the same moment | A refusal teaches you little, because anyone else on that address could be the reason |
| Commercial VPN on data-centre servers | An address registered to a hosting company | It reads as American, but a data-centre address is easy for a service to recognise |
| USip residential U.S. IP | One ordinary consumer address on a U.S. internet provider, assigned by USip | A household address that stays the same through your session; Tubi can still refuse it |
That is the whole job: the connection, and nothing beyond it.
We promise no title and no outcome. We supply one U.S. address.

Each step settles one question, so if something fails you know which part failed. A laptop browser keeps app stores, TV menus and accounts out of the way.
Start the USip connection in OpenVPN Connect on the laptop (the Windows and Mac guides show the set-up) and open an IP address checker. The IPv4 line must say United States. If there is an IPv6 line, it must not name Altibox, Telenor, Telia or any other Norwegian provider; if it does, sort that out first and read both lines again.
A private window starts without Tubi’s cookies, so nothing Tubi noted on an earlier visit from your Norwegian address comes along. Type tubitv.com yourself rather than using an old bookmark or a search result.
No account is needed for this. Tubi’s help centre says “No. You can still continue watching as a guest or register a single Tubi Account.” Pick any film or episode and let it run for about a minute, adverts included: Tubi is free with ads, and the breaks are part of a normal session.
If the title plays, the network side is settled for today. If Tubi shows an error or a message about your location, write the wording down exactly, reconnect once and try one more time. If the same message comes back, send that wording to USip support instead of retrying again and again.
One good minute is today’s answer, not a promise for next week: Tubi can change its view of any address at any time. USip keeps a separate record of its own checks, USip’s published checks; this page quotes none of them.

USip recorded the four videos below in November 2022, on Tubi’s screens of that time. The USip connection steps in them still apply. The Windows and Mac videos open tubitv.com in a browser, which is still the right first move. The phone videos also switch the App Store or Google Play country to the U.S.; that part is out of date, so leave it out.

A Windows laptop keeps app stores out of the picture, which is why it goes first. Install OpenVPN Connect, import your USip profile and connect, then read both lines of an address checker: most Norwegian home lines are fibre, and most big providers’ lines carry IPv6. Then open tubitv.com in a private window in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, as the 2022 video does on Tubi’s older pages.
Step by step: the Windows setup guide.

Connect in OpenVPN Connect, then look at two settings. iCloud Private Relay changes how Safari connects, so switch it off while you check. And check IPv6: on Norwegian fibre a Mac can keep a Norwegian IPv6 address while its IPv4 address says United States. The video’s browser route to tubitv.com still holds; only Tubi’s pages look different now.
Step by step: the Mac setup guide.

Follow the video for OpenVPN Connect and the USip profile, and skip the part where it moves Google Play to the U.S.: that part is out of date. Google Play Help says “To set up a new country or region, you must be in that location”, and that you “must wait at least 90 days” between changes. Leave your Google account as it is and open tubitv.com in Chrome on the phone. On mobile data, read the IPv6 line too: Nkom found IPv6 available to 97% of Norwegian mobile subscriptions at the end of 2025.
Step by step: the Android setup guide.

Set up OpenVPN Connect as the video shows, connect, and open tubitv.com in Safari. The video’s switch of the App Store to the U.S. is out of date. Apple sets its own conditions for changing an Apple Account’s country or region, on the Apple Support page in our sources. The Tubi app was not in the Norwegian App Store when we looked on 11 October 2026, so Safari is the place to start.
Step by step: the iOS setup guide.
A smart TV, streaming stick or games console cannot run OpenVPN Connect, so USip sets it up with Smart DNS: you register your home’s public IP address with USip, enter the DNS details in the device’s network settings or once on the router, and register the new address if your internet provider changes it. The Smart DNS guide has the steps.
Smart DNS changes what Tubi sees from the television. It does not add the Tubi app to a TV whose app store does not offer it in Norway, and we could not confirm TV app stores country by country. Leave the television until a laptop has played a free title.

One residential U.S. IP — an ordinary consumer address on a U.S. ISP, not a server range. USip and Tubi are separate services: the plans include the connection only — not a Tubi account, an app-store region or the rights to any channel, series or film.
Separate services: these prices are for the USip residential U.S. IP service only. Tubi is a separate service, free with ads; a Tubi account and access to any particular channel, series or film are not part of a USip plan.
Apps are offered store by store, and a store follows your account’s country, not the network you happen to be on.
When we looked on 11 October 2026, the Tubi app was not in the Norwegian App Store. The listing we looked for was “Tubi: Movies & Live TV” from Tubi, Inc.
The same day, the app was listed in the U.S., UK, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Mexican and Puerto Rican App Stores.
We did not check Google Play store by store, so this page makes no claim either way about the Tubi app on Google Play in Norway.
Apple publishes its own conditions for moving an Apple Account to another country or region. Read them on Apple Support before you consider it; we suggest no way round them.
Google Play Help: “To set up a new country or region, you must be in that location”, and after a change you “must wait at least 90 days” before the next one.
Tubi’s U.S. device list names TV platforms such as Roku, Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, LG and Samsung. Which of their Norwegian app stores offer Tubi, we could not confirm.
That is why this page keeps sending you to a laptop browser. tubitv.com involves no store and no account country, so it answers the one question a U.S. address can affect: whether Tubi plays a free title for the address it sees.
This is a streaming guide, not legal advice. Below is what Norwegian public bodies say, with dates, and the point where our knowledge stops.
We have not found a Norwegian law that bans VPN software as such. We are not lawyers, rules can change, and if the question matters for your work or your circumstances, ask someone qualified to answer it.
NSM, Norway’s National Security Authority, actively recommends them. In its advice on mobile security (updated 22 April 2024), the point headed “Benytt VPN for all nettverkstrafikk” says “Du bør benytte en VPN-løsning”: you should use a VPN solution. A neighbouring point warns against public Wi-Fi in places such as hotels, cafés, airports and conference venues.
Blocking does exist in Norway, but it is aimed at named websites. In Nkom’s June 2026 internet report, providers list DNS blocking of domain names where a legal order requires it, and the Kripos filter against child sexual abuse material, among their usual traffic-management measures. Neither is a rule about VPN apps.
Whether Tubi lets a connection in is a separate matter from Norwegian law. Tubi decides which connections it accepts and can refuse any of them, a residential U.S. IP included; a refusal is Tubi’s decision, not a legal ruling. Networks you do not run yourself, such as an employer’s, a school’s or a borettslag’s, can also have rules of their own, so check those before connecting through them.
Answered from Tubi’s own pages, Apple’s store, Norwegian broadcasters and Nkom. Where we could not find a source, the answer says so.
Not according to Tubi. Its help article on watching outside the U.S. opens with “If you’re located outside the United States, you can watch Tubi on the following devices:” and then lists Canada, Australia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and the United Kingdom. Norway is not on the list, and on 11 October 2026 the Tubi app was not in the Norwegian App Store. A residential U.S. IP changes the address Tubi sees, but Tubi still decides whether to accept it.
Tubi has not said, and we will not guess. When we looked on 11 October 2026, “Tubi: Movies & Live TV” from Tubi, Inc was missing from the Norwegian App Store but listed in the U.S., UK, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Mexican and Puerto Rican stores. Apple sets its own conditions for changing an Apple Account’s country, so start with tubitv.com in a laptop browser, which needs no store at all.
We could not confirm whether Tubi was ever offered in Norway. We found no announcement from Tubi, and no reliable report, that deals with Norway, so we cannot say it worked here once, or that it never did. Today the position is clear: Norway is not on Tubi’s list of places outside the U.S., and the app was not in the Norwegian App Store on 11 October 2026.
Yes, with ads. Tubi’s help centre says “Tubi is free, but it’s supported by advertising.” There is no plan to choose. Free does not mean offered everywhere, though: Tubi’s own list of places outside the U.S. leaves Norway out. The UK service is free too, but it is a separate service with a smaller catalogue, meant for viewers in the UK.
Not to start watching. Asked whether new viewers must set up several accounts, Tubi answers: “No. You can still continue watching as a guest or register a single Tubi Account.” On accounts it adds: “Tubi Accounts are for individuals who meet local age requirements, such as 13 or older in the United States.” Kids Mode works without signing in. For the check on this page, stay a guest: an account adds nothing to the question of whether Tubi accepts the address.
Perhaps, but nobody can promise it. A residential U.S. IP makes tubitv.com see an ordinary American household address instead of your Norwegian one. Tubi decides which connections it accepts and can refuse any of them, USip’s included. The honest way to find out is the ten-minute check: one laptop, both address lines read, a private window, and one free title as a guest for a minute.
No. USip and Tubi are separate services. USip supplies one residential U.S. IP address, an ordinary consumer address on a U.S. internet provider, and the set-up to use it. Tubi’s library, live channels and accounts belong to Tubi, and so does the decision about which connections to accept.
No. They share a name but not a catalogue. Tubi UK launched in July 2024 and by July 2026 had “over 75,000 movies and TV episodes”; in September 2026 Tubi put its library at nearly 400,000. Tubi licenses titles territory by territory, so a film on one may be missing from the other. Tubi UK is for viewers in the UK.
Possibly, but try it last. A television, streaming stick or console cannot run OpenVPN Connect, so USip uses Smart DNS: register your home’s public IP address with USip, enter the DNS details on the device or the router, and register again if your provider changes that address. Smart DNS does not add the Tubi app to a TV app store that lacks it, and we could not confirm those stores for Norway.
Late. 8 p.m. Eastern is 02:00 in Oslo for most of the year, and 8 p.m. Pacific is 05:00. Norway changes its clocks a week before the U.S. in autumn and two weeks after it in spring, so on U.S. evenings from 25 to 31 October 2026 and from 14 to 27 March 2027, 8 p.m. Eastern reaches Oslo at 01:00.
We cannot say that you can. Tubi’s release of 23 September 2026 says it will stream FOX Sports’ Dallas Cowboys v Philadelphia Eagles game on Thursday 26 November 2026 at 4:30 p.m. ET, which is 22:30 in Oslo. The release does not say whether the game can be watched outside the U.S., and Norway is not on Tubi’s list of places. Until Tubi says otherwise, treat it as a U.S. broadcast.
We have not found a Norwegian law that bans VPN software as such, and NSM, the National Security Authority, advises “Du bør benytte en VPN-løsning”, meaning you should use a VPN solution. Nkom reports that providers block particular domain names in DNS where a legal order requires it, and run Kripos’s child-abuse filter; neither is a rule about VPN apps. We are not lawyers. Whether Tubi accepts a connection is a separate question, and Tubi’s to answer.
NRK TV first: the public broadcaster’s player, which NRK says you can use without logging in. Pluto TV has run a Norwegian service with ads since 18 May 2022, and Samsung TV Plus offers free channels on Samsung smart TVs. With a national library account, Filmbib has Norwegian short and documentary films. TV 2 Play needs a package. None of these is Tubi: Pluto TV, the closest in style, belongs to Paramount, and Tubi to Fox. All were checked on 11 October 2026, and catalogues change.
3-day free trial · 14-day money-back · Tubi itself is free and separate
The hub covers Tubi outside the U.S. in general. Denmark and Sweden are Norway’s Nordic neighbours in this set: Pluto TV opened in both on the same day as here, 18 May 2022, so their free options look similar. The other five guides start from different local services.
The main pages behind this guide; dates in the labels are publication dates, and the help pages were read on 11 October 2026. Pages we used but do not list, such as TV 2’s help centre and Bergen Public Library’s Filmbib page, are named where we cite them.
Begin with what Norway already offers free: NRK TV, with or without a login, Pluto TV’s Norwegian service, Samsung TV Plus on a Samsung set and Filmbib with a library account. They are made for viewers here and need nothing from USip.
If it is the U.S. Tubi you want, give it one honest test: the USip connection on a laptop, both address lines read, a private window and one free title as a guest for a minute. If Tubi refuses, keep its exact words and send them to USip support.
USip supplies the residential U.S. IP connection only. Tubi’s library, live channels and accounts are Tubi’s, and Tubi can refuse any connection.
