Netflix will no longer be available on certain older Amazon Fire TV devices starting today

Netflix stops working on some older Amazon Fire TV devices today, so if you’ve had your device for a decade, you might find yourself in the “No Netflix Zone.” The affected devices are from 2014 and 2016, which is ancient in tech terms. Unfortunately, Netflix hasn’t explained the exact reasons for ending support for these devices, but it’s likely due to their inability to handle the latest security updates and modern video formats.

If you need to replace your device, I recommend holding off for a bit. Amazon often discounts its Fire TV devices, especially around events like Father’s Day. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a solid choice for a replacement, offering more storage, a faster processor, and better Wi-Fi connectivity for not much more money than the non-Max version.

So, which Fire TV Sticks are affected by Netflix’s decision? From June 3, 2025, the first generation versions of Fire TV (2014), Fire TV Stick (2014), and Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote (2016) will no longer support Netflix.

While the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a bit pricier than the base model, it has been discounted frequently this year, so I’d keep an eye out for deals if you can hold off on your Netflix streaming for a bit. Stay tuned for the next Amazon Fire TV Stick promotion and make sure to choose a device that will keep you entertained for years to come.
