What streaming works in Belgium — 2026 availability list

Updated 2026-04-24

TL;DR

Belgium's streaming landscape splits along its Dutch (Flanders) and French (Wallonia) communities. Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and Apple TV+ all work, but local platforms run on dual tracks: VRT MAX (Flemish public broadcaster) and RTBF Auvio (French public broadcaster) each serve their own language region with limited cross-availability. Streamz is the largest Flemish SVOD; Telenet Play comes from Telenet's OTT package. HBO Max runs as a separate service in BE. Spotify and Apple Music work fully.

Tips

If routing a VPN to BE for VRT MAX (Dutch) or RTBF Auvio (French), pick a Brussels or Antwerp node with a residential IP — Proximus, Telenet, and Orange BE residential ranges are best-trusted. Both public broadcasters enforce strict GeoIP, reject datacenter IPs, and split by language community — a Flemish account cannot watch French-region exclusives directly. Streamz signup requires a BE postcode and local bank payment, blocking cross-region signup. BE strictly enforces GDPR — expect frequent cookie popups.
