Does the US have the biggest Netflix library?
Many people assume American Netflix has the most to watch, since Netflix is an American company. Our daily count of every Netflix catalogue says otherwise. In early November 2026, the US library had about 8,460 movies and shows, which put it 46th of the 128 countries where Netflix has a catalogue.
The biggest libraries are in Europe
The top ten countries were all European. France came first with about 10,700 titles, about 26% more than the US.
| Rank | Country | Movies and shows |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | France | 10,699 |
| 2 | Slovakia | 10,322 |
| 3 | Netherlands | 10,252 |
| 4 | Bulgaria | 10,234 |
| 5 | Slovenia | 10,196 |
| 46 | United States | 8,463 |
| 128 | Ukraine | 6,635 |

Why the US isn't on top
Netflix doesn't own most of what it shows. It licenses films and series from studios, usually one country at a time. In the US, the big studios run their own services, so they tend to keep their films and shows for Disney+, Max, Peacock or Paramount+. Netflix gets fewer of those titles at home than in countries where the studios' own services are small or absent, and where they're happy to sell the rights to Netflix instead.
Each country's library is also shaped by its own local deals, which is why a small market like Slovakia or Slovenia can have a bigger Netflix catalogue than a large one like the US. We explain the general picture in why Netflix is different in every country.
The gap is smaller than people think
The range isn't huge. The biggest Netflix library is about 1.6 times the size of the smallest, and the typical (median) country has about 8,330 titles, very close to the US. Netflix Originals are usually available in every country, so they're in every one of these libraries; the differences come from licensed titles.
Count isn't everything
A bigger library doesn't guarantee the titles you want. If you're after a particular show, search it on FlickFinder to see every country where it's on Netflix, or pick a country on the Netflix by country page to see what's popular there right now.
