Is BritBox Available on Amazon Prime USA? Your Options, Prices, and the Better Deal

So, is BritBox available on Amazon Prime USA?

It is. In the United States, you can add BritBox to an active Prime Video account as a paid channel and stream it within the Prime Video app alongside your other subscriptions. Amazon’s channel page lists BritBox as a selectable add-on under Prime Video package options. 

But availability is only half the story. The bigger question is which route is smarter for you: Channel via Amazon Prime Video or direct subscription via BritBox? Let’s see the options. 

Prime Video channel vs direct: what changes for everyday viewing

Here’s the practical difference most people notice when subscribing through Prime Video Channels instead of the native BritBox app: 

• Library and features can differ. Channel catalogs sometimes lag behind or exclude parts of the BritBox content you’d find with a direct subscription. Multiple customer threads report missing titles or seasons when using the Prime Video Channel vs direct, which can matter if you’re chasing iconic box sets or a specific classic series. Treat these as user reports, not official policy, but the pattern shows up often. 
• Playback and UI can feel smoother on Prime. Some users like Channels because they keep everything in one place and feel the video quality is more consistent in the Prime player. Others don’t mind a separate BritBox app for full features. It’s personal preference, but the comments trend both ways. 
• You must keep Prime Video active. Channel subscriptions require an Amazon Prime subscription or the standalone Prime Video plan. Cancel Prime or Prime Video and your Channel access ends too. That’s fine if you already want Prime, but it’s more money if you only wanted BritBox. 

BritBox subscription prices and trials in the US

Let’s talk numbers so you can decide quickly: 

• Direct on BritBox: Current US pricing shows BritBox price at $10.99/month with a seven day free trial. There’s an annual subscription listed at $109.99/year (often discounted during promos), which helps if you plan to commit long term or subscribe annually for a longer subscribe period. 
• As a Prime Video Channel: The Channel is presented as a separate subscription billed through Amazon. Amazon commonly runs bundles and promos. The listing shows BritBox as a paid add-on, and Amazon periodically offers bundle deals with other services. Pricing and promotions can vary, so check at checkout. 
• Is there a free trial on Channels? Prime often provides a trial period for new BritBox subscriptions, typically seven day free trial, but it can change with promos and events. Always look at the final price screen. 

So which one should you pick? It comes down to convenience vs catalog confidence.

BritBox free vs “free with Prime” explained

• It is actually not free with Prime. BritBox is another channel that sits on top of Prime Video. Prime members pay an additional fee for it, same as they would for STARZ or MGM+. The confusion comes from the free trial, which is temporary. 
• Who should go direct? If you want the fullest possible library and direct control over your account, many viewers prefer direct. If you like everything in one app and consolidated billing, the Channel can be easier.

Set up and access BritBox the way you prefer

Here are some of the options that you have: 

Option A: watch BritBox as a Prime Video Channel

Short steps if you are inside the Amazon ecosystem:

1. Open the Prime Video app on your device or go to the Channels hub on the website.
2. Find BritBox and tap sign up to BritBox. Confirm the additional fee and free trial terms.
3. Make sure you have an active Prime Video plan on your account. Without it, the Channel won’t renew.
4. Start binging those classic series and iconic box sets from the same interface you use for other add-ons. 

Option B: subscribe directly to BritBox

Prefer the native app and direct control over billing and profiles?

1. Install the BritBox app on your preferred device or use the website.
2. Start the seven day free trial, then decide whether to go monthly or subscribe annually.
3. If you plan to commit long term, pick the annual subscription to save vs monthly.
4. Sign in and stream across phones, tablets, TVs, and browsers. 

Before you hit OK, it helps to know the pros and cons of each route.

UK note: ITVX premium subscription vs US BritBox

In the UK, BritBox folded into ITVX Premium subscription in 2024. That’s a different product bundle, and UK billing moved accordingly. 

This does not change how US viewers buy or stream BritBox. We mention it only because Google searches mix these results, which may cause confusion. 

What you’ll find on BritBox

If you’re here for gripping crime dramas, BritBox is loaded with detectives, village mysteries, and slow-burn procedurals. You’ll also see British TV comedies, period iconic box sets, documentaries, and rotating films. Titles move due to licensing, so always double-check inside the app right before you start your trial period. US lineups change monthly, and promo pages often tease what’s next. 

How VeePN helps BritBox viewers stream smoothly and privately

We promised we’d explain how a VPN helps. Here’s the short version with practical perks: 

• Stop sketchy Wi-Fi from peeking at you. Public hotspots in cafes, hotels, and airports are noisy. VeePN wraps your stream in encryption so login tokens and viewing habits don’t float around for anyone to grab. If you’re curious why this matters, see VeePN’s guides on staying safe on public Wi-Fi and checking for leaks on a streaming setup.
• Avoid random slowdowns. Some ISPs shape video traffic during peak hours. A VPN tunnel can reduce that targeting by hiding which streaming service you’re using, helping you keep a clean bitrate when everyone else’s stream gets choppy.
• Protect all your screens. One account covers multiple devices, so your Fire TV, phone, and laptop run through the same secure tunnel. That’s handy if you watch on the move or share screens at home.
• Breach Alerts for peace of mind. If the email tied to your BritBox account ever appears in a known data breach, VeePN’s breach notifications help you react fast with new passwords before damage spreads.
• Built-in NetGuard ad and tracker blocking. VeePN’s anti-malware and ad-block features help keep click-bait popups and fake “update player” sites out of your way while you browse cast info or episode guides.
