How to Watch Vikings on Firestick (Every Option in 2026)
Complete guide to watching Vikings on Firestick. All 6 seasons on Netflix and Peacock, pricing compared, free options, and how to stream from anywhere.
I just finished rewatching all six seasons of Vikings on my Firestick 4K Max — all 89 episodes, from Ragnar’s first raid on Lindisfarne to Ivar’s final stand in the series finale. Finding the best way to stream it took more digging than I expected, because Vikings has bounced between services over the years. Here’s every option I tested and how they compare.
Netflix is the best way to watch Vikings on Firestick — all 6 seasons (89 episodes) are available starting at $7.99/month with ads. It’s also the only service that has the spin-off Vikings: Valhalla (all 3 seasons). Peacock is a solid alternative with all 6 seasons starting at $10.99/month. There’s no free option with all seasons, but Tubi has limited Vikings content for free.
What I Tested For
- Streaming quality — HD vs 4K availability across all six seasons
- Audio quality — Stereo vs 5.1 Surround Sound
- App stability — Netflix and Peacock performance on Firestick 4K Max over 40+ hours of streaming
- Subtitle and closed caption options — English, Spanish, and accuracy during Old Norse dialogue
- Cost per season — Subscription value vs digital purchase pricing
Where to Watch Vikings
Vikings is available on multiple streaming services — unlike many shows that are locked to a single platform. Netflix is the main option with all 6 seasons, and Peacock also carries the full series. You can also buy seasons digitally on Amazon Prime Video.
| Service | Price | Seasons | Quality | Ads | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏆 Netflix Standard | $17.99/mo | All 6 | 1080p HD | No | No |
| Cheapest Netflix with Ads | $7.99/mo | All 6 | 1080p HD | Yes | No |
| Netflix Premium | $24.99/mo | All 6 | 1080p HD | No | No |
| Peacock Premium | $10.99/mo | All 6 | HD | Yes | No |
| Peacock Premium Plus | $16.99/mo | All 6 | HD | No | No |
| Buy/Rent Amazon Prime Video | $8.99–$19.99/season | All 6 | HD | No | N/A |
| Tubi | Free | Limited | HD | Yes | N/A |
Bottom line: Netflix gives you the most value — all 6 seasons of the original Vikings plus all 3 seasons of Vikings: Valhalla on the same subscription. Peacock is a solid backup, especially if you already subscribe for other NBC content. Amazon is the buy-to-own option if you want the episodes permanently.
Best Way to Watch Vikings on Firestick
Netflix
- All 6 seasons, 89 episodes — the complete saga
- Plus Vikings: Valhalla (3 seasons) — set 100 years later
- Native Firestick app, pre-installed on most devices
- Starting at $7.99/month with ads
✓ Pros
- All 6 seasons of Vikings plus the Valhalla spin-off on one subscription
- Native Firestick app — no sideloading required
- Cheapest option at $7.99/month (with ads) to stream all episodes
- Multiple subtitle and audio language options
- Good recommendation algorithm surfaces similar shows
✕ Cons
- Original Vikings likely limited to 1080p HD — no confirmed 4K remaster
- No free trial available
- Ad-supported tier includes ads before and during episodes
My testing notes: I streamed the full series on my Firestick 4K Max connected to a 55-inch TV over about two weeks. The picture quality is solid HD — the battle scenes in Seasons 4 and 5 look great, and the dark raid sequences have decent visibility. Audio is 5.1 on most episodes. The Netflix app on Firestick ran without a single crash across 40+ hours of viewing. Subtitle accuracy was good, which matters for the Old Norse dialogue scattered throughout the series. One thing to note — the original Vikings isn’t confirmed in 4K, though Vikings: Valhalla is available in 4K Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos.
How to Watch Vikings on Firestick — Step by Step
Set Up Netflix and Find Vikings
5 stepsOpen Netflix on Your Firestick
Netflix comes pre-installed on most Firestick devices. From your home screen, scroll to the Apps row and select Netflix. If you don’t see it, go to the Amazon App Store, search for “Netflix,” and install it — it’s free to download.
Sign In or Create an Account
Open Netflix and sign in with your email and password. If you don’t have an account, select Sign Up and follow the prompts. It’s easier to create your account at netflix.com on your phone or computer first, then sign in on your Firestick.
Pick Your Plan
Choose a Netflix plan. The Standard with Ads plan ($7.99/month) gives you all 6 seasons in 1080p. The Standard plan ($17.99/month) removes ads. The Premium plan ($24.99/month) adds 4K for supported content like Vikings: Valhalla.
Search for Vikings
Once signed in, use the search icon (magnifying glass) at the top. Type “Vikings” or press the Alexa voice button on your remote and say “Alexa, play Vikings.” Select the show from the results — make sure you pick “Vikings” (2013) and not “Vikings: Valhalla.”
Start Watching
Select Season 1, Episode 1 — “Rites of Passage” — and hit Play. Netflix will stream at the highest quality your plan and connection support. You need at least 5 Mbps for HD streaming.
Vikings — Season-by-Season Guide
All six seasons are complete. Here’s what you’re getting into — 89 episodes across 8 years of television:
| Season | Episodes | Air Year | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 9 | 2013 | Ragnar Lothbrok’s first raid on Lindisfarne — the episode that hooked everyone |
| Season 2 | 10 | 2014 | Ragnar vs Jarl Borg, the blood eagle scene everyone talks about |
| Season 3 | 10 | 2015 | The siege of Paris and Ragnar’s baptism |
| Season 4 | 20 | 2016–2017 | Split into two parts — Ragnar’s fall and the rise of his sons |
| Season 5 | 20 | 2017–2019 | Ivar the Boneless vs Lagertha, the Great Heathen Army |
| Season 6 | 20 | 2019–2021 | The final chapter — Bjorn’s last stand and the end of an era |
Total runtime: 89 episodes across 6 seasons. Plan for roughly 65 hours of viewing — about two weeks if you’re watching 4–5 episodes a day.
Free and Cheaper Options
Netflix doesn’t offer a free trial — they dropped that back in 2020. But there are ways to cut the cost or even watch for free:
Cheapest Subscription Options
The Netflix Standard with Ads plan at $7.99/month gives you all 6 seasons of Vikings in HD. You’ll see ads before and during episodes, but every episode is available. At 89 episodes, that’s about $0.09 per episode if you binge the whole series in a month.
Tubi — Free but Limited
Tubi has some Vikings content available for free with ads, but the availability is limited — it may only include certain seasons or episodes. Worth checking, but don’t count on having the full series.
Peacock as an Alternative
Peacock Premium at $10.99/month has all 6 seasons. If you already subscribe to Peacock for other shows (The Office, NFL, WWE), this could be your most cost-effective option since you’re already paying.
Get Netflix Through Your Phone or Internet Provider
- T-Mobile “Netflix on Us” — Certain T-Mobile Go5G plans include Netflix Standard at no extra cost
- Comcast StreamSaver Bundle — Comcast customers can get a bundle including Netflix, Peacock, and Apple TV+
Buy Individual Seasons
If you don’t want a subscription, you can buy Vikings digitally on Amazon Prime Video — seasons run approximately $8.99–$19.99 each, or individual episodes for $1.99–$2.99. This makes sense if you only want to rewatch specific seasons.
Watch Vikings From Anywhere
Vikings is available on Netflix in approximately 22 countries — including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, and Brazil. But if you’re traveling to a country where Netflix doesn’t have Vikings in its library, or if you want to access Peacock (which is US-only), a VPN solves the problem.
Surfshark
- Reliably unblocks Netflix in 100+ countries
- Native Fire TV app — install from Amazon App Store
- Unlimited devices on one subscription
- Fast enough for HD streaming without buffering
Watch Vikings With a VPN
3 stepsInstall Surfshark on Your Firestick
Open the Amazon App Store on your Firestick, search for “Surfshark,” and install the app. Sign in with your Surfshark account.
Connect to a US Server
Open Surfshark and connect to a United States server (or whichever country has Vikings on Netflix). Wait for the “Connected” confirmation.
Open Netflix and Watch
Now open Netflix and search for Vikings. All 6 seasons will appear. Start streaming from Season 1, Episode 1.
