How to stream Bill & Ted Face the Music in the UK
Unfortunately, Bill & Ted will be coming to cinemas only in the UK, and won’t be released until 16 September 2020.
It may however be possible to stream it online through using a VPN. VPNs (virtual private networks) reroute your IP address so you can browse the internet securely, and as if you’re from another country. To stream Bill & Ted 3, this would mean connecting to a US server.
There are many VPN providers to choose from, but for the best prices and performance we recommend either NordVPN or ExpressVPN. There are also a number of free VPN providers, but these will likely not enough servers to be able to stream without a hitch.
For streaming this movie, you’re best using your VPN on Vudu or Fandango – as these offer payment options that aren’t tied to the US.
How to watch Bill & Ted 3 on Vudu outside of the US
- Connect to a US server on your VPN
- Sign up for an account on Vudu (this is free)
- Find Bill and Ted Face the Music on Vudu
- Select ‘buy’ or ‘rent’ and the definition you want to watch the movie in
- Select ‘PayPal’ as your method of payment – this can be your UK account
- If this goes through successfully, you should now be able to stream Bill & Ted Face the Music
There is a chance that your PayPal could be declined as the site recognises you’re from the UK. If that happens, we have another method you can try on Fandango, which involves purchasing a gift card to use as your method of payment.
How to stream Bill & Ted 3 on Fandango outside of the US
- Connect to a US server on your VPN
- Sign up for an account on Fandango (this is free)
- Purchase a digital gift card for Fandango and send it to your email – you can get this on PayPal, or Amazon US (the minimum is US$25)
- Find Bill and Ted Face the Music on Fandango

We want to stress that we haven’t tested these methods and are only recommended them based on past experiences using VPNs – so please proceed at your own risk.
UK viewers can however pre-order the full soundtrack for Bill & Ted Face the Music from Amazon UK.
How to stream other Bill & Ted films
If you need a refresh of the past few films, then we’ve got you covered dudes.
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is actually being re-released in UK cinemas at the moment ( tickets are available from Odeon), so trying to rent it online is quite difficult.
The best way to watch the first film is to either purchase it on DVD/Blu-Ray via the likes of Amazon or HMV, or alternatively you can use a VPN to stream it through the US streaming service, Starz.
VPNs (otherwise known as Virtual Private Networks) reroute your IP address, so you can browse the internet as if you’re in another country. To sign up for an account with Starz, connect to a US server, head on over to the website, create an account and use PayPal as your form of payment. Note that you shouldn’t need to pay anything, as the site offers a seven-day free trial. The direct link to watch Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure on Starz is here.
You can find more detailed instructions in our guide to watching Starz from the UK. US folks can also watch the first film here (without the need for a VPN), or purchase it directly from Amazon US.
As for Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, this can be rented from Amazon UK via a free trial of the MGM channel – you’ll just need a Prime Video account for this. In the US, you can watch it on Amazon US. Netflix and Now TV sadly don’t offer either of these films for streaming at the time of writing.
