You’re looking for Jax Teller. I get it. There is something about that specific brand of Shakespearean tragedy mixed with the smell of exhaust and bad decisions that just sticks with you. But if you’ve spent the last twenty minutes clicking through "Coming Soon" tabs or realizing your old bookmarks are dead ends, you aren't alone. The streaming world is a mess of expiring licenses and corporate buyouts that make finding the SAMCRO crew feel like a covert mission.
Honestly, the landscape has shifted. If you’re asking where can you watch Sons of Anarchy in 2026, the answer depends entirely on your zip code and how much you're willing to tolerate ads. It isn't on Netflix in the States anymore. Hasn't been for years. Kurt Sutter, the show’s creator, even tweeted about it way back when, basically saying that because Disney bought Fox (which owned FX), the show was destined to live on Disney-controlled platforms.
That’s the reality of modern TV. It’s all about the "walled garden."
The Current Heavy Hitters for Streaming SOA
If you are in the United States, your primary destination is Hulu. It’s been the home for FX content for a long time. You can find all seven seasons there, from the pilot where Jax finds his father’s manuscript to the... well, let’s not spoil the finale if you’re a first-timer.
Hulu is the most stable option. It’s been there for years and isn’t going anywhere soon because Disney owns a massive stake in it.
Now, if you’re outside the US, things actually get a bit simpler. Most international fans in the UK, Canada, Australia, and Europe can find the series on Disney+ under the "Star" tile. Since Disney doesn't operate Hulu as a standalone service in most of those countries, they just dumped all the "adult" FX content—Sons of Anarchy, Mayans M.C., The Shield—into Disney+.

It’s kinda funny seeing Jax Teller right next to Mickey Mouse, but that’s the 2026 streaming vibe for you.
Quick Breakdown by Region
- USA: Hulu is the king here. You can also get it via the Hulu on Disney+ integration if you have the bundle.
- UK & Ireland: Disney+ is your spot. Occasionally, it pops up on free-to-air catch-up services like U (formerly UKTV Play), but Disney+ is the consistent bet.
- Australia: Disney+ and sometimes 7plus have had it in their rotation.
- Canada: Disney+ is the exclusive home.
The "Free" Question: Can You Watch Without a Subscription?
Everyone wants to know if there is a legal way to watch for free. The short answer? Not really, at least not for the whole series.
Sons of Anarchy is a "prestige" legacy title. Networks know people will pay for it. You won't usually find the full seven seasons on "FAST" channels (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) like Tubi or Pluto TV. Sometimes you’ll catch an "S1 E1" teaser on a platform to bait you into a subscription, but that’s about it.
If you’re desperate to save a few bucks, your best bet is the classic "library move." Many local libraries still carry the DVD box sets. It sounds ancient, but a physical disc doesn't care about licensing agreements or monthly fees. Plus, the commentaries on the SOA DVDs are actually worth the effort if you’re a nerd for behind-the-scenes stuff.
Buying vs. Renting: Is It Worth It?
Sometimes it’s better to just own the thing. If you’re the type of person who rewatches the series every two years, paying $10-$15 a month for a subscription indefinitely is a bad deal.

You can buy the digital seasons on:
- Amazon Prime Video: Usually runs about $20-$25 a season, though they often bundle the whole series for a discount.
- Apple TV: Good for high-bitrate quality if you’re picky about how the leather jackets look on your 4K screen.
- Google TV / Vudu: Standard pricing applies here too.
The advantage of buying is "permanence," or as close as you can get to it in a digital world. You won't have to worry about which service is fighting over the rights next year.
Why Finding SOA is So Confusing Now
The confusion usually stems from the "Netflix Era." Back in 2015, Sons of Anarchy was a staple on Netflix. It’s where a huge chunk of the fanbase actually discovered the show. When those contracts expired, Netflix lost the rights to Disney/FX.
People still search for it on Netflix every single day, but unless you’re using a VPN to hop over to a specific country where a legacy contract might still be active—which is a total headache and often against terms of service—it’s a dead end.
What About the Spinoffs?
If you finish your rewatch and you’re still craving that world, Mayans M.C. is usually found in the exact same place. On Hulu in the US and Disney+ elsewhere. It’s a different beast—more focused on the border and internal cartel politics—but it fills the void.

There's also been talk for years about a "First 9" prequel. Kurt Sutter and FX had some public falling out, so that’s been in limbo. As of now, the seven seasons of the original show and the Mayans spinoff are all we’ve got.
How to Get Started Right Now
If you want to start watching within the next five minutes, here is what you do.
Check your current subscriptions first. If you have the Disney Bundle in the US, you already have it—just open the Disney+ app and look for the Hulu section. If you’re international, just search "Sons" in Disney+. If you have neither, Hulu’s base plan is the cheapest entry point.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on the "expired" sections of streaming news sites. While SOA is currently stable on Hulu/Disney+, the "great licensing migration" of 2026 is always moving. But for now, that’s your home for SAMCRO.
Go ahead and grab a subscription to Hulu if you're in the US, or Disney+ if you're abroad, to start your binge from season one. If you prefer to own your media, check the current "Complete Series" price on Amazon, as it often drops significantly during seasonal sales compared to buying individual seasons.
