How to watch The Great British Bake Off online

$8 a month at Netflix
Netflix is currently offering the most recent seven seasons of The Great British Baking Show across the US, making it easier than ever to catch up with the contestants of the last few years. You'll catch the end of the Mary Berry dynasty in this collection, but you'll also be treated to Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding afterward. You can also catch earlier seasons on PBS or BritBox as well. A Netflix subscription costs $8 a month, but you can pick up a free trial to get you started.

Free / $4.99 a month at Gem
Seasons 4 - 9 of The Great British Baking Show are available to stream on Gem in Canada. Gem is absolutely free to sign up, but you can upgrade to a $4.99 premium subscription to avoid ads and catch CBC News Network live streams. If you want the full collection that's available in the US, however, you're better off picking up a Netflix or BritBox subscription and a piece of VPN software to mask your location.

Free - All 4 / BBC iPlayer
Ironically, it's a little more difficult to watch The Great British Bake Off online in the UK. After the great Channel 4 shift, the back catalogue of seasons seems to have been lost in the mix. That means you can catch the latest three seasons of the show on All 4 for free, but Netflix has recently removed its own selection of seasons. The BBC Bake Off does appear to be on the new BritBox service, and that'll cost you £5.99 a month after a 30 day free trial.

If you want to catch some of the older episodes, your best bet is to tune into Netflix US using a VPN. A VPN allows you to browse the web without leaving any of your personal information behind, but an added bonus of many services is the ability to mask your location as part of this security. That means you can avoid geoblocks on many streaming sites, simply by selecting a server from the country that site serves.

From $49 a month at Foxtel
Viewers down under can catch four seasons of The Great British Bake Off with a Foxtel Now subscription. You'll need an AU$49 a month membership to watch, but if you're looking for something cheaper it might be worth getting yourself a VPN. 

If you're a Netflix customer, you can watch more Bake Off on the US site, and avoid geoblocking by using a piece of VPN software. We recommend Express VPN for its speed and stability, as well as the ability to sign in on so many devices.

Via an Express VPN sub from just $6.67/£5.50 a month
If you're trying to stream The Great British Bake Off from somewhere not listed here, we recommend you pick up a Netflix subscription. US Netflix offers a fantastic seven seasons of the show right now, which means plenty of episodes to see you through your new baking obsession. However, if you're streaming Netflix from somewhere outside of the US you won't have access to this content, so we also recommend picking up a VPN as well. A VPN allows you to browse the web while protecting data about your computer, yourself, and your location, which means you can mask the country you're streaming from and make it appear as if you are in the US.

We've tested a wide range of VPN options in our investigations into the best VPN, as well as the best VPN for Netflix. After all that testing, we recommend Express VPN. There's plenty of reliable server locations available, as well as excellent privacy settings. There are also extra features like automatic protection on public WiFi and it works on a massive selection of devices.

Follow these simple steps to get set up within minutes to watch Westworld online:

1: Get a cheap VPN installed. There's a great offer on right now where you can get an additional three months FREE on a 12-month package and save 49% (shorter packages are available too). ExpressVPN is also offering a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is great if you change your mind and decide the VPN isn't for you.

2: Connect to a US server. While you can connect to a server from any of the countries that we have laid out above, a US server will likely prove to be the easiest for watching Westworld season 3 online. 

3: Head over to Hulu (or any other appropriate, alternative service you fancy). Once you set your location, head over to Hulu to buy access to the service and make sure to include the HBO add-on to your order, you can do this later on too after signing up to Hulu. And don't forget, you can cancel Hulu at any time, there's no long-term contract to be tied to.
