Netflix

Complete ban Since: 2016 (U.S. sanctions) In force Netflix help centre

Netflix has never offered service in Syria. When it expanded nearly worldwide in January 2016, Syria was excluded along with other territories subject to U.S. sanctions. The company still lists Syria among countries where Netflix is not available — a sanctions-driven restriction rather than a Syrian government block of the platform.
