Want to watch more movies for free without another streaming subscription? Your prayers have been answered (Picture: David Tarling)
A new streaming service has been launched in the UK to rival the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and BBC iPlayer, with more than 20,000 films and TV episodes already available – for free.
Tubi, which has an ad-supported model, is owned by Robert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation in the US, but as of today is making its cinematic and televisual wares available to watch over here.
From Tuesday, British viewers will have access to Tubi’s website, Tubitv.com, which is offering movies including the full Twilight saga, Happy Gilmore, 2018’s version of Robin Hood with Taron Egerton and Jamie Foxx and Kill Bill: Vol 1 and 2.
Even better, all of these movies are not behind a paywall and totally free to watch –a far cry from the hefty cost of renting or buying them digitally.
What’s more, it might be one of the easiest ways to watch a film or TV show online as you’re not even required to sign up for an account to see something on Tubi.
You can simply scroll through the titles, divided into genres such as comedy, family movies, sci-fi and fantasy, horror and romance, and click play on anything that catches your eye.

Other notable titles available on Tubi are popular Gerard Butler thriller Olympus Has Fallen, serial killer horror Candyman, Slow West starring Michael Fassbender and another Quentin Tarantino classic: Jackie Brown.
