In 2018, Dragon Ball FighterZ reminded us how much we love all things Dragon Ball (and was a fantastic game in its own right). Now, in 2020, we have another new Dragon Ball game, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Many of us, in the US at least, got into the series when Dragon Ball Z aired on Toonami. But if you want to revisit the anime–or if you want to watch any of the Dragon Ball series for the first time–it can be a little tricky to know where to find them. Here, we’ve compiled a list of every legal streaming service for Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and more for the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia and New Zealand.
Unfortunately for UK fans, most of Dragon Ball isn’t available to stream legally due to licensing complications. Blu-ray or DVD are your best options and will feature the widely used Funimation dub, rather than Europe’s original English dub (which was based on a French translation and refers to Piccolo as “Big Green”).

Now Playing: Dragon Ball Super: Super Saiyan Supercut
Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball adapts the first 194 chapters of Akira Toriyama’s manga of the same name and mostly features series protagonist Goku as a child. In the US, it had a few failed runs–an original “Lost Dub” in ’89 and another dub in ’95, both of which were canceled due to low popularity–before Funimation’s re-dubbed version began airing in 2001.
Funimation currently has the exclusive rights to the English dubbed version in the US and Canada.

There is an HD remastered and recut version of Dragon Ball Z called Dragon Ball Z Kai, which cuts out a lot of the “filler” from the original series that wasn’t in the manga. Dragon Ball Z Kai isn’t available to stream currently, though you can watch select episodes on the Adult Swim site in the US with a cable login.
