Outlander Season 6 is carried as a Netflix Original in select regions, meaning it’s distributed by Netflix exclusively. The Season 6 episodes are released 24 hours after they air in the United States starting March 7, 2022. For these regions, the show was carried exclusively since Season 2. Here’s a list of regions confirmed or expected to receive weekly episodes of Outlander Season 6:

When will Outlander Season 6 be released in the U.S.?
Outlander Season 6 is still not be available to stream on Netflix in the United States and Israel. The list of upcoming films and TV shows coming to Netflix in November 2022 doesn’t include Outlander Season 6. Based on past schedules, new seasons of Outlander usually arrive on Netflix US exactly two years after they’ve wrapped up airing in the US, so it’s likely that Outlander Season 6 will arrive on Netflix US in late April or early May 2024 at the earliest. However, there is no official confirmation that it will happen. If you’re excited to watch Outlander Season 5 on Netflix this month, you can check out the release times based on your region here.
When will Outlander Season 6 arrive on Netflix in Australia, Brazil, and other regions?
While Outlander Season 6 will arrive on Netflix in select regions weekly, it’s not labeled as a Netflix Original in most other main regions, so usually, a local distributor carries the series to air, then arrives on Netflix at a later date. Regions not getting weekly episodes:
The Netherlands
AustraliaArgentinaBrazilMexicoSouth AfricaSweden
New seasons of Outlander typically arrive exactly a year after the series premieres in these regions. For example, Season 5 arrived on Netflix Australia on February 17, 2021, just a year after the season started airing new episodes on Feb. 16, 2020. If the plan is the same for Season 6, expect it to arrive on other regions listed above around March 6, 2023. In Canada, Season 5 arrived on Netflix around 11 months so expect Season 6 to come in either late 2022 or early 2023.
Is Outlander Season 6 coming to the UK?
Outlander Season 6 will be based on the sixth book of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, and according to Starz, the new season “sees a continuation of Claire and Jamie’s fight to protect those they love, as they navigate the trials and tribulations of life in colonial America. Establishing a home in the New World is by no means an easy task, particularly in the wild backcountry of North Carolina — and perhaps most significantly — during a period of dramatic political upheaval. The Frasers strive to maintain peace and flourish within a society which, as Claire knows all too well, is unwittingly marching towards Revolution. Against this backdrop, which heralds the birth of the new American nation, Claire and Jamie have built a home together at Fraser’s Ridge.
