How to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm for free in the UK, US and abroad
Your one-stop guide to watch all 10 seasons of the hit comedy TV series created by Larry David for free
Created by Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm first premiered on HBO way back in 2000. The series has completed over 100 episodes and it has recently been renewed for its 11th season, making it one of the few TV shows currently in production that spans over two decades.
If you live in the UK or US, you’ll be pleased to know that there are several ways that you can watch the show for free. All 100 episodes are currently available to all Sky TV customers. If you don’t have Sky, you can sign up for its no-frills streaming service Now TV (that comes with a weeklong free trial for new customers). Alternatively, you can also watch the show on Hulu, that’s available in both the UK and US and comes with a free month-long trial for new customers.
The series, starring David (as himself) and Jeff Garlin (also as himself), follows the lives of these two men as they navigate the various cringe-worthy situations a retired writer and producer might come across in LA. The show’s observational and at times painfully awkward humour has been likened to that of the popular UK (and US) mockumentary The Office.
Over the course of its twenty-one-year run, Curb Your Enthusiasm has garnered quite a reputation, racking up a whopping 126 award nominations and 21 wins. Many die-hard fans will recall the endless new phrases to have entered the American lexicon; from “social assassin” to “chat n’ cut”, there really is a phrase for all occasions.
How to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm for free in the UK: Now TV
The drawbacks of Sky TV (below) are twofold: You need to pay an initial setup fee, and once you do, you’ll be tied to a long-term contract. The best way to avoid these pitfalls is to subscribe to a Now TV Entertainment Pass; at only £9.99/mth, you’ll be able to watch every single Curb Your Enthusiasm episode on any device, plus hundreds of other Sky shows. If you’re unsure, you can make use of the weeklong free trial for new customers and cancel your subscription at any point without being charged.
How to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm for free in the UK and US: Hulu
Like Sky TV in the UK, Hulu has the rights to broadcast every single Curb Your Enthusiasm episode in the US. Hulu is free for the first month for new subscribers, after which plans start at $5.99/mth. This is more than enough time to watch all 100 episodes, or even re-watch some of your favourite ones from the past two decades.
How to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm in the UK: Sky
If you have Sky TV, you’re in luck: the service now has every single episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. This means that you can watch all 10 seasons via the Sky TV app/channel. For those of you that don’t have the channel, fret not, because it’s easy to access: Packages start from £27/mth, and are often included in Sky’s own onsite offers. With the basic package, you’ll gain access to over 300 Sky TV channels and numerous Sky Atlantic and Sky Original exclusives.
How to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm abroad: use a good VPN service
If you try to access any of the aforementioned streaming services when you’re travelling abroad, you’re likely to encounter some difficulties. That’s because most streaming services – including Sky Go, Now TV and Hulu – are geo-blocked. The only reliable way to bypass these geo-blocks is to use a good VPN (virtual private network) service. Apart from letting you access geo-blocked websites, a good VPN service also gives you complete anonymity when browsing online by encrypting your IP address.

ExpressVPN: ExpressVPN is by far our favourite of the VPNs we’ve tested. Not only is it the fastest we’ve used, but it’s also the safest: the firm has commissioned independent audits to prove it doesn’t store user logs. Better yet, you can use it on up to five devices simultaneously. Our readers get 49% off when they choose the one-year plan and you even get a 30-day no-questions-asked moneyback guarantee if you’re unhappy.
Surfshark VPN: Surfshark VPN is a cheaper service that shares many of the same brilliant features as ExpressVPN, but isn’t as fast. A single subscription covers unlimited devices and, like ExpressVPN, the entire service has been audited to prove that your data is in safe hands when browsing. Despite being just two years old, Surfshark has over 1000 servers in 60 countries for quick and easy access.
