Where to Watch The Traitors: UK, US & Ireland Guide

If you’ve heard the whispers about a castle, cash, and a whole lot of betrayal, you’re probably wondering where to actually watch The Traitors. The show has become a global reality hit, but its availability depends on which side of the Atlantic—or Irish Sea—you’re on. UK viewers have it on BBC iPlayer, American fans head to Peacock, and Irish audiences now have options through RTÉ Player and NOW TV.

Six quick facts about The Traitors streaming rights, all confirmed as of June 2026.

Is The Traitors TV show on Netflix?

Netflix availability overview

No, The Traitors is not licensed to Netflix in any major region. The show is exclusive to BBC iPlayer in the UK and Peacock in the US — both direct competitors to Netflix in the reality-genre space. If you search for “The Traitors” on Netflix, you’ll only find fan edits or unrelated titles. The official broadcaster pages confirm the exclusivity (BBC iPlayer (public broadcaster), Peacock (NBCUniversal streamer)).

Why The Traitors is not on Netflix

The show is a BBC Studios format licensed to separate broadcasters per region. The BBC retains streaming rights in the UK, while NBCUniversal’s Peacock acquired the US rights. International distribution deals — such as the one with RTÉ in Ireland — follow the same pattern of territorial exclusivity. No Netflix deal exists for the original UK or US series.

Bottom line: Netflix isn’t part of the picture. UK fans need a TV licence and BBC iPlayer; US fans need Peacock; Irish viewers have RTÉ Player or NOW TV.

Is The Traitors on Amazon Prime?

No, The Traitors is not currently available on Amazon Prime Video in the US, UK, or Ireland. The show remains exclusive to BBC iPlayer, Peacock, and RTÉ Player. There has been no official announcement of a future Prime release.

Where can I watch The Traitors in the UK?

BBC iPlayer as the exclusive UK streamer

BBC iPlayer is the only place to stream The Traitors UK legally in the UK. All four seasons (1–4) are available on demand. Season 1 launched in 2022, and the latest, season 4, premiered in January 2025 (link). The show also airs live on BBC One during its broadcast run, but iPlayer is the primary streaming destination.

Catch-up and live TV options

UK viewers can watch past episodes any time via iPlayer, or tune in weekly on BBC One. A valid TV licence is required for both. Episodes are available on iPlayer for at least 12 months after broadcast. The platform is free at the point of use (with licence fee).

How to watch The Traitors in Ireland?

Irish audiences have the most fragmented — but richest — set of options. The key platforms are RTÉ Player, NOW TV, and BBC iPlayer (via cable or Sky).

RTÉ Player for The Traitors UK

RTÉ announced in June 2026 that it added seasons 1–3 of both the UK and US versions of The Traitors to RTÉ Player. The Irish public broadcaster also produced its own spin-off, The Traitors Ireland, hosted by Siobhán McSweeney and filmed at Slane Castle. Season 1 of that version launched in 2025 and is also on RTÉ Player.

NOW TV for select seasons

NOW TV Ireland offers The Traitors season 1 as a catch-up title, though it is labelled as a Sky History series (NOW TV Ireland (Sky streaming service)). This is a limited selection — only the first season is available via NOW TV as of June 2026.

Celebrity Traitors UK on iPlayer and BBC One

BBC One and BBC iPlayer are available in Ireland through cable, satellite (Sky Ireland), and some broadband TV packages. Celebrity Traitors UK airs on these channels/streamers, so Irish viewers with those subscriptions can watch directly. No extra licence is needed if you already pay for the channel bundle.

How to watch Traitors US in Ireland?

Peacock is the exclusive US streamer

The Traitors US is produced by NBCUniversal and streams exclusively on Peacock. As of June 2026, Peacock offers three seasons of the US version, with season 4 having premiered on January 8, 2026 (Peacock (original streamer)). The US version is not licensed to any UK or Irish platform.

Workarounds for international viewers

To watch Traitors US from Ireland, you would need a Peacock subscription combined with a VPN service that routes your connection to the United States. Note that this may violate Peacock’s terms of service. Alternatively, wait for a potential RTÉ licensing deal — RTÉ already added US seasons 1–3 to RTÉ Player in June 2026, though season 4 is not yet confirmed.

The catch: The US version is the hardest for Irish fans to access legally unless they wait for slow international licensing.

Where to watch The Traitors seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4

Here is a season-by-season breakdown of where each run of the UK version is available.

• Season 1 (2022): BBC iPlayer (UK), Peacock (US), RTÉ Player (Ireland), NOW TV (Ireland season 1 only) (BBC iPlayer; Peacock; RTÉ About; NOW TV).
• Season 2 (2023): BBC iPlayer (UK), Peacock (US), RTÉ Player (Ireland) (BBC iPlayer; Peacock; RTÉ About).
• Season 3 (2024): BBC iPlayer (UK), Peacock (US), RTÉ Player (Ireland) (BBC iPlayer; Peacock; RTÉ About).
• Season 4 (2025): BBC iPlayer (UK), Peacock (US) (BBC iPlayer; Peacock). Not yet confirmed on RTÉ Player or NOW TV.

The pattern: BBC iPlayer remains the most consistent platform across all four UK seasons. Peacock also carries all UK seasons for US viewers. Irish viewers lose season 4 for now — but gain the US version through RTÉ Player.

How to start streaming The Traitors (step-by-step)

Step 1: Identify your location

The most important factor is where you live. The streaming rights are tied to your billing address and IP location.

Step 2: Choose your platform

1. UK residents: Sign up for BBC iPlayer (requires TV licence). Go to bbc.co.uk/iplayer, search “The Traitors”, and start watching all current seasons.
2. US residents: Subscribe to Peacock (paid plans available). Open peacocktv.com, search “The Traitors”, and stream all UK and US seasons.
3. Ireland residents: Use RTÉ Player (free with registration) for UK seasons 1–3 and US seasons 1–3. For season 1 only, NOW TV offers a catch-up option. For the US version, either wait for RTÉ or use Peacock with a VPN.

Step 3: Check device compatibility

BBC iPlayer, Peacock, and RTÉ Player all support smart TVs, phones, tablets, and web browsers. NOW TV is available on Sky boxes, NOW TV sticks, and most streaming devices.

The takeaway: Getting started takes five minutes — as long as you know which platform serves your region.

Confirmed facts vs. What’s unclear

The implication: The franchise is expanding but licensing gaps persist, particularly for the latest UK season outside the BBC.

What the cast and creators say

“22 people, one castle, £120k – Claudia Winkleman hosts the ultimate reality game of trust and treachery.”

— BBC iPlayer official page (BBC iPlayer (official streamer))

“Get them before they get you.”

— RTÉ Player listing for The Traitors UK (RTÉ Player (public service broadcaster))

Two very different invitations, but both capture the central tension of the show: every alliance is a potential betrayal.

Final word: Your watch guide by region

For UK fans, BBC iPlayer is the obvious answer — full archive, live episodes, one subscription. For American viewers, Peacock is the only game in town, but it also carries the UK series for context. Irish audiences now have the richest buffet: RTÉ Player for UK and US seasons, NOW TV for season 1, and BBC iPlayer via cable if they need the very latest. The catch is season 4 of the UK series, which still lacks an Irish platform. For the Irish viewer who wants the complete experience today, the choice is clear: subscribe to RTÉ Player and wait for season 4, or use Peacock with a VPN — but that’s a workaround, not a solution.
