How Many Titles Does Netflix Carry in Each Country? Tracker Counts, Originals and Licensing in 2026

Poland listed 10,020 Netflix titles in October 2026, the highest count we could verify

The size of a Netflix library depends on where you log in. Netflix Originals are mostly offered in every market, but the films and series Netflix licenses from studios and broadcasters are bought territory by territory. That is why a subscriber in Warsaw sees a different catalogue from one in Chicago, and why the UK library has been larger than the US library for years. The company itself states on its Help Center that licensed titles "may only be available in certain countries or for a limited time."

This page collects the country counts we could check directly on the trackers that publish them, states the date of each snapshot, and explains what drives the gaps using Netflix filings, its Help Center and its twice yearly engagement reports. It does not repeat our analysis of how much Netflix spends on content or our ranking of the most viewed non-English Netflix series. Its focus is narrower: how many titles each country gets, and why the totals differ.

Three trackers, three counting rules

Because Netflix keeps its country catalogues private, the public numbers come from services that scan what is available in each market. Each one defines a title in its own way. Some count a series once no matter how many seasons it has, some include stand-up specials and short films, and some may count regional versions separately. The result is that two trackers can report different totals for the same country on the same day, and both can be correct under their own rules.

Poland, France and Denmark each listed more than 9,500 titles

The three FlixPatrol country pages we could read on 3 November 2026 all showed catalogues well above 9,000 titles. Poland led with 10,020, which is 432 more than France (9,588) and 472 more than Denmark (9,548). The gap between France and Denmark was only 40 titles, less than half of one percent. Each page carried the heading for October 2026, so these are the counts FlixPatrol attached to that month.

Poland ahead by 432 titles: the Polish catalogue was 4.5 percent larger than the French one on the same tracker in the same month.

These three markets share two features that help explain large catalogues. All are members of the European Union, and all fall under the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive. In its 2025 annual report, Netflix notes that the EU revised that directive in 2018 to require that European works make up at least 30 percent of on-demand catalogues. Meeting a share rule is easier when a library holds more local and European titles, and Netflix has said it partners with broadcasters such as TF1 in France to bring more local series, films, news and sports to members there.

The European pattern is not new. In its May 2024 review based on Q1 2024 data, Parrot Analytics reported that Slovakia had the largest Netflix catalogue of any market, with more than 7,000 shows and movies, and that every one of the top 10 markets by catalogue size was in Europe. It also found that the United States had about 20 percent fewer titles than Slovakia. The old version of this page claimed Slovakia had 8,130 titles in May 2026; we could not find that figure on any tracker and have removed it.

The UK library ended 2025 with 1,028 more titles than the US

For the two biggest English language markets, What is on Netflix publishes exact counts. At the end of 2025 the UK catalogue held 8,893 titles and the US catalogue 7,865. The UK figure was 1,028 titles, or 13.1 percent, higher. A year earlier, on 31 December 2024, the counts were 8,691 and 7,431, a gap of 1,260 titles.

The US closed part of the gap in 2025: it added 434 titles (5.8 percent) while the UK added 202 (2.3 percent).

The US grew faster in 2025. It added 434 titles, a rise of 5.8 percent, while the UK added 202, a rise of 2.3 percent. What is on Netflix reported that Australia also grew by about 400 titles and Canada by about 200. So the difference between the US and UK narrowed by 232 titles over the year, although the UK still kept the larger catalogue.

The reason the US library is smaller is not a lack of Netflix productions. The US had more Netflix Originals than any of the four markets the tracker follows: 4,868 at the end of 2025, against 4,826 in the UK. The difference sits almost entirely in licensed content. Subtracting originals from the totals leaves 2,997 licensed and other titles in the US and 4,067 in the UK, a gap of 1,070. In the US, the large studios each run a competing streaming service and keep many of their own films and series for it. Netflix flags this risk in its 2025 annual report, stating that as content providers develop their own streaming services, they may be unwilling to provide Netflix with access to certain content.

For subscribers the practical result is that the UK and Australia currently have the deepest English language catalogues of the four, and the US has the highest share of Netflix made titles. If you want to see how these markets compare by members rather than titles, our breakdown of Netflix subscriptions by region and the subscriber estimates by country cover that side.

Originals now make up 62 percent of the US catalogue

The share of each library made up of Netflix Originals shows how dependent a market is on licensed titles. On 31 December 2025 the share was 61.89 percent in the US, 61.73 percent in Canada, 59.85 percent in Australia and 54.27 percent in the UK, according to What is on Netflix. One year earlier the shares were 59.36, 57.34, 56.84 and 50.26 percent. In every one of the four markets, originals took a larger slice of the catalogue in 2025.

The UK is the least original heavy: close to half of its 8,893 titles are licensed, which is why its library is the largest of the four.

Tracking the US library over time shows where its growth has come from. In July 2023, What is on Netflix counted 6,621 titles in the US, of which 3,657, or 55 percent, were originals. By the end of 2024 the total had risen to 7,431 with 4,409 originals, and by the end of 2025 to 7,865 with 4,868 originals. Over those two and a half years the US library gained 1,244 titles, and originals accounted for 1,211 of them. Licensed and other titles barely moved, from 2,964 to 2,997.

Growth came from originals: 1,211 of the 1,244 titles added to the US library since July 2023 were Netflix Originals.

The UK moved in a different direction in 2025. Its originals rose from 4,370 to 4,826, an increase of 456, but its total grew by only 202. That implies the licensed part of the UK library fell by about 254 titles over the year. Netflix pointed to the same trend in its fourth quarter 2025 letter to shareholders, published on 20 January 2026, where it said a decline in viewing of non-branded titles primarily reflected a lower volume of licensed, second run content across most regions, following a period of elevated licensing in 2023 and 2024 when the strikes halted new production.

Nearly half licensed: 4,067 of the UK titles are not Netflix Originals, against 2,997 in the US.

Movies make European libraries big, series make Asian libraries deep

The split between films and series is the part of this topic where verified country data is thinnest. FlixPatrol offers a movies and TV shows filter but does not print the counts for each type on its country pages, and What is on Netflix does not break its year end totals down by format. The most useful published evidence comes from Parrot Analytics, which compared catalogue makeup across all Netflix markets in Q1 2024.

Parrot found that the size of European catalogues was driven mainly by the number of movies. Slovakia, the largest catalogue overall, ranked only 22nd when counting shows alone. The top 10 markets for series were dominated by Asian countries. In other words, a European subscriber tends to get a long list of licensed films, while a subscriber in parts of Asia gets a deeper bench of series, including local and regional drama. Parrot also reported that comedy made up 37 to 40 percent of shows in most markets, rising to about 40 percent in Thailand and several Southeast Asian markets, against 34.1 percent in the Czech Republic.

The old version of this page gave a precise movie and series split for 25 countries, with movies at 60 to 65 percent everywhere. Those figures were not traceable to any tracker, and we have removed them rather than publish an unverified table. When a tracker publishes a dated country split that we can check, we will add it here.

Licensing by territory, as Netflix explains it

Netflix sets out the reasons in its Help Center. It says it produces or acquires exclusive rights to many titles and partners with studios and other providers to license rights for others, and that those licensed titles may be available only in certain countries or for a limited time. On a separate page about missing titles, it lists five causes:

• Netflix picks titles for a region that it thinks people there will enjoy.
• More than one studio or distributor may own the rights to a single title.
• Netflix cannot get rights for a region if no one is selling them, or if they are exclusive to another streaming platform.
• The title was made before Netflix was available, or before it could acquire exclusive rights.
• Other companies may hold the rights to the title for that region.

The annual report adds the commercial picture. Netflix states that the license periods and the terms and conditions of its content rights vary, that it typically enters into multi year commitments with studios and other providers, and that if content is unable to be shown in a territory, member acquisition and retention may suffer. These commitments are large: the Netflix content obligations and content assets on its balance sheet run to tens of billions of dollars, and a share of that money buys exactly the regional rights that make one country library bigger than another.

Recent deals show the mechanism at work. In its January 2026 letter Netflix said it would expand its offering of licensed titles in 2026, including new release live action films from a US licensing partnership with Universal, and that it had licensed about 20 Paramount shows, including Matlock and King of Queens, for international territories. In its 20 October 2026 letter it described a new licensing deal with Disney covering current and library series and films, and noted that all five Ice Age films had reached its global weekly Top 10. Each deal of this kind changes the count in some countries and not in others.

Steady since the 2022 peak: about 13 to 14 originals, including new seasons, arrive each week, so originals keep lifting every library at a similar pace.

Originals are the part of the catalogue that equalises markets. Because Netflix usually holds worldwide rights to its own productions, a new original tends to appear in every country on the same day. What is on Netflix counted 597 new original titles in 2025, up from 589 in 2024 and 568 in 2023, but below the 749 of 2022. Removals also happen: the tracker reported that almost 100 originals left Netflix during 2025, a reminder that even Netflix branded titles can carry rights that expire.

The ad supported plan shows a slightly smaller library

Library size can also differ within a country, depending on the plan. Some licensed titles are not cleared for the plan with advertising. What is on Netflix tracks these gaps. At the end of 2025, 132 of 7,865 titles in the US, or 1.68 percent, were unavailable on the ad tier, down from 153 titles (2.06 percent) a year earlier. In the UK the figure was 38 of 8,893 titles, or 0.42 percent, down from 40.

The gap matters more as the ad plan spreads. Netflix said in its October 2026 letter that it will introduce the advertising tier in 15 new countries in 2027, starting with nine EMEA markets in March 2027. How many people already use the cheaper plan is covered in our pages on ad supported Netflix users by region and ad tier use in Europe.

Netflix reports more than 18,000 titles with measurable viewing

The closest Netflix comes to publishing a catalogue figure is its engagement report, titled What We Watched. The first edition, released on 12 December 2023 for January to June 2023, covered more than 18,000 titles and nearly 100 billion hours viewed, representing 99 percent of all viewing on Netflix. It listed every title watched for more than 50,000 hours. That number is global: it counts every film and series watched anywhere, so it is far larger than any single country catalogue.

Two findings connect directly to library size. First, older titles still carry a large share of viewing. In its H1 2025 report Netflix said nearly half of the viewing of Netflix Originals in the report came from titles that debuted in 2023 or earlier, and in its first report it pointed to the demand for older, licensed titles. Second, viewing has shifted towards titles made outside the US. The October 2026 letter says non-English viewing has grown from under 10 percent of total viewing a decade ago to more than a third today Because Netflix generally offers its own productions in every market, originals made in Korea, Spain or Japan add to the count in every country at once. Our ranking of the most popular non-English Netflix films shows which of those titles travel best.

The engagement data also shows how licensing decisions feed back into the catalogue. In its January 2026 letter Netflix reported that its members watched 96 billion hours in the second half of 2025, up 2 percent year on year, with viewing of branded originals up 9 percent and viewing of non-branded titles down. The time members spend with the service is tracked in our page on time spent streaming Netflix per account.

From one launch day in 2016 to over 190 countries

Netflix switched on its service in more than 130 new countries on 6 January 2016, taking it from 60 markets to over 190 in one day. At the time, the company said its 2016 original series would be available to members everywhere at the same time. That is still the core of its catalogue strategy: originals give every country a common base, and licensed titles add a local layer on top.

Today the Help Center says Netflix is available in over 190 countries and regions, and lists five places where it is not: China, Crimea, North Korea, Russia and Syria. With more than 325 million paid memberships at the end of 2025 and an audience the company says is approaching one billion people, even small differences between country libraries affect large numbers of viewers. Our page on Netflix subscribers worldwide tracks that membership base, and Netflix revenue statistics shows what it earns.

Claims removed from the earlier version of this page

This page was first published in May 2026 with a ranking of 25 countries. We checked each figure against the trackers named as its source and could not confirm them. Several were also inconsistent with each other: the old table placed India 12th with 6,120 titles below the US at 11th with 5,890. The main changes are below.

How these figures were compiled

We used only counts that we could read on the publishing tracker itself, and we state the snapshot date for each. The FlixPatrol figures were read from its Netflix country search pages on 3 November 2026; each page was labelled October 2026. Other FlixPatrol country pages and the uNoGS database did not load during our checks, so countries such as Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Japan have no current count on this page. We did not fill those gaps with estimates.

• All country catalogue counts are third-party figures. Netflix does not publish them.
• FlixPatrol and What is on Netflix use different title definitions, so their counts are shown side by side but never ranked against each other.
• Licensed and other titles are calculated as total titles minus Netflix Originals. They include any non-original specials and documentaries.
• Canada and Australia totals are implied from the originals count and originals share published by What is on Netflix, and rounded to the nearest ten.
• Percentages and differences are BusinessStats calculations from the published counts.
• Netflix policy statements come from its Help Center, its 2025 Form 10-K and its shareholder letters of 20 January 2026 and 20 October 2026.
