Together with his close friends, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet and Happy, Natsu is a part of the Fairy Tail magic guild. We follow the lives of our brave heroes as they go out on different adventures and try to uphold the reputation of Fairy Tail.
Where to Watch Fairy Tail Online

PLEASE NOTE: All the top 5 places to watch Fairy Tail online mentioned in this article are legal, so you might have to pay for a better experience.
1. Netflix
Netflix is an amazing streaming platform, but it is at the bottom of my list because only the first four seasons of Fairy Tail are available on this platform. If you just want to get started with the series, then it is still a pretty good option.
Pros:
- You can watch tons of other anime series, live-action drama series and movies on this platform.
- The first month of streaming is free on the platform.
Cons:
- Only some of the episodes and one movie of Fairy Tail are available on the platform.
- The library of available anime is way smaller than Funimation and Crunchyroll.
- You can’t watch anything for free.
Price:
Netflix has three different plans. The basic one costs 8.99 USD per month, and the most expensive one costs 17.99 USD per month.
*Disclaimer: Fairy Tail can be watched on Netflix ONLY in certain countries. We’ve confirmed that it is currently available as of the writing of this article on the Netflix Japan (Japanese only) and Netflix Pakistan (English sub and dub) libraries. Not in one of those countries? Don’t worry, you can use a VPN to access those anime libraries from anywhere in the world. Learn more about that below.
How to Watch Fairy Tail on Netflix via VPN
This method works on both desktop PCs and mobile phones or tablets.
- Purchase (or start a free trial) of a VPN. I can confirm that NordVPN works for this purpose.
- In the settings choose Canada as your “Current Location”.
- Click the power button to fire up the VPN and wait for it to do its magic
- Once you’re connected, navigate to Netflix (browser or app)
- Search “Fairy Tail” in the Netflix search bar and you should see the anime pop up.
Enjoy! Please note that if your Netflix library doesn’t update to reflect the country you selected in your VPN, you may have to clear the Netflix cache first and try again.
To to do this in mobile, go to settings -> apps -> Netflix -> clear cache. I’ve had no trouble using this method and I still use NordVPN to watch anime from various Netflix country libraries daily. To do this on PC, you go to your clear private data settings in your browser.
