Which streaming service do you watch the most? We all have our favorites, and most of us subscribe to more than one, even if we don’t watch them much. Of course, some are more popular than others and a new ranking reveals the most popular streaming services in the world, based on the number of subscribers.
- It’s important to note that not all services are available in all of the same places, and some have been around for a lot longer than others, so they’ve built up quite a membership compared to newer services, like Apple TV+.
- Netflix tops the list as the biggest streaming service in the world. They reported having 269.9-million global paid memberships as of March 31st. In the U.S. and Canada alone, they have 82.66-million subscribers.
- Part of the reason for their success is that Netflix has been available worldwide for longer than any other service in the top 10. They also have a huge amount of content and are constantly rotating in new content.
