The Hunger Games franchise dominated the 2010’s, and for a brief time, people could relieve them all over again on Netflix. However, things have now changed.
In the US, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Part 1 and Mockingjay – Part 2 left Netflix on 31 March.
But fear not, there is still a way to watch them – and you don’t even need another streaming service to do so.
How to watch The Hunger Games films on Netflix in the US
If you’re in the US, you can still watch The Hunger Games on Netflix. The movies are still available on Netflix UK, so you can use a VPN (virtual private network) to access the British version of Netflix from America.
VPNs reroute your IP address, connecting your server to another around the world. If you connect to a UK one, then the Netflix website should think you’re based in this country, and not the US.
We have previously used NordVPN to access different Netflix libraries from different countries. NordVPN offers a range of servers, as well as affordable pricing if you lock in for a multi-year plan. You can find further options in our list of the best VPNs for streaming.
After you’ve subscribed to your VPN of choice and downloaded it, here is what you need to do:
- Time to complete: 5 minutes
- Tools required: Laptop or PC, VPN

Netflix sometimes blocks VPNs, but you can get around this by connecting to a different server, or waiting a few hours before trying again
Keep in mind that this is technically against Netflix’s terms of service, so your account could be terminated – proceed at your own risk.
UK viewers don’t have a time limit on streaming The Hunger Games films on Netflix. However, they are also available on Amazon Prime Video.
