Starlink Availability Map (2026): Where Starlink Is Available

Starlink is available in 172 countries and territories, according to the data behind Starlink’s own availability map (updated September 22, 2026). Another 58 are listed as coming soon, and 6, including India, Pakistan and Türkiye, are waiting for regulatory approval. In the US, Starlink covers the whole country, but some busy areas are at capacity or charge a one-time demand surcharge, so the only way to be sure is to check your exact address with Starlink. Use the map below to look up any country, see its status and compare Starlink’s median speeds.

Key Takeaways

• 172 countries and territories have Starlink service, 58 are coming soon, 6 are awaiting approval, and Starlink doesn’t offer service in 8 (including China and Russia).
• Country status isn’t address status. Starlink sells by address. Busy areas can be “sold out” for Residential, or charge a demand surcharge.
• Sold out means a waitlist. You can place a deposit and Starlink emails you when capacity opens. It gives no timeline (Starlink Help Center).
• Median speeds vary by country. In Starlink’s published figures, most countries sit between about 175 and 330 Mbps download, with median latency mostly between 23 and 53 ms.
• Travelling? Roam Unlimited allows up to 30 days abroad at a time under Starlink’s July 2026 travel policy.

How This Starlink Availability Map Works

The map shows the country-level status and speed figures Starlink publishes for its own availability map. Our server downloads a fresh copy once a day, so the map stays current without us updating it by hand. Tap a country (or search for it) to see:

• Its status: available, coming soon (with Starlink’s expected timing where it gives one), awaiting approval, or not available.
• Median speeds: download, upload and latency for Starlink Residential users in that country, with the typical range (20th to 80th percentile).
• A link to check your address on starlink.com, which is the final word for any specific location.

Switch the map to Speed or Latency to compare countries. A few large countries (the US, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico and Spain) show grey in those views. Starlink publishes their speeds by state or province rather than as one national figure.

This map is country-level. It can’t tell you whether your street is at capacity. Starlink decides that per address when you order, so always enter your address at starlink.com/map or on the order page before you buy a kit.

How to Check Starlink Availability at Your Address

1. Go to starlink.com/map or the order page on starlink.com.
2. Enter your full service address.
3. Read what Starlink offers for that address: plans, hardware price and any extra fees.

What you might see, and what it means:

What Starlink shows	What it means
Plans and a normal price	Residential service is available at your address. You can order now.
A demand surcharge at checkout	Your area is busy. Starlink adds a one-time fee on top of the hardware; see our congestion charge guide.
“Sold out” or a deposit option	Residential is at capacity. You can place a deposit to join the waitlist, and it is later subtracted from the hardware price (deposit; sold out).
Roam offered instead of Residential	Starlink says Residential plans can’t be activated in capacity-limited areas, but Roam can, and you can switch once capacity opens (activation).
“Coming soon”	Starlink hasn’t launched in your country yet. Where it gives timing, it shows it here.

Starlink says it can’t give timelines for sold-out areas. When it is your turn, you get an email and have 7 days to confirm the order, or the deposit is refunded (Starlink Help Center). Business plans can have different availability from Residential; Starlink says to check starlink.com/business separately.

Buying a kit from a store? Check your address on starlink.com first. Starlink says retail buyers should confirm availability before purchase, and a Residential plan won’t activate in an area that is at capacity (Starlink Help Center). Our Starlink setup guide covers activating a store-bought kit.

What the Map Colors Mean

• Blue, available: Starlink sells service in this country. Your address may still be at capacity.
• Orange, coming soon: Starlink plans to launch. Some countries show “Starting in 2026”; others say the date is unknown.
• Purple, awaiting approval: Starlink is waiting for the national regulator.
• Red, not available: Starlink doesn’t offer service in this country.
• Grey, not shown: Starlink’s map leaves the country uncolored. For Ukraine, Cyprus and Georgia this happens where borders are disputed, but Starlink does sell in Ukraine and Cyprus.

Where Starlink Is Coming Soon

As of September 22, 2026, Starlink lists 36 countries and territories as “Starting in 2026”: Angola, Anguilla, Aruba, Belize, Bermuda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, British Virgin Islands, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Comoros, Republic of the Congo, Curaçao, French Polynesia, Gabon, Gambia, Grenada, Guinea, Laos, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Montenegro, Namibia, Palau, Serbia, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Suriname, Tanzania, Togo, Tokelau, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Wallis and Futuna.

22 more are listed as coming soon with no date, usually “Service date is unknown at this time”: Algeria, Andorra, British Indian Ocean Territory, Cuba, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, French Southern Territories, Greenland, Iran, Libya, Monaco, Myanmar, New Caledonia, Nicaragua, the Palestinian Territories, San Marino, South Africa, Sudan, Taiwan, Vatican City, Western Sahara.

These are Starlink’s own labels and can change. “Starting in 2026” is a plan, not a promise.

Countries Waiting for Regulatory Approval

Starlink’s map lists six countries as waiting for regulatory approval: Brunei, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Türkiye. Starlink can’t sell service there until the national regulator signs off, and it gives no timing. A kit bought abroad won’t get around this: Starlink says it doesn’t support activating a Starlink for use in a different country from the one your account was set up in (Starlink Help Center).

Where Starlink Isn’t Available

Starlink’s map marks eight countries and territories as not available: Afghanistan, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Macao, North Korea, Russia and Syria. Starlink doesn’t offer service there, and its map gives no expected date.

A few countries show no status at all. Egypt, Morocco and Nepal have none on the map, and Ukraine, Cyprus and Georgia are left uncolored. Starlink sells its Mini in Ukraine and Cyprus (Starlink Help Center), so for these, check your address directly.

Is Starlink Available in the US?

Yes. Starlink covers all of the US on its map. What changes from place to place is capacity:

• Most addresses can order right away. In some areas Starlink offers the hardware with no upfront cost (Starlink Residential).
• Busy areas add a one-time demand surcharge at checkout (Starlink Help Center). See our congestion charge guide for reported amounts.
• Areas at capacity can’t activate Residential. You can join the waitlist with a deposit, or use a Roam plan meanwhile.
• The new Starlink V5 kit is only offered in select areas so far (Starlink Residential).

Using Starlink When You Travel

Roam is sold in many of the countries where Starlink is available. To check a country, go to starlink.com/roam, click Order Now and pick it from the list; if it isn’t listed, Roam isn’t offered there (Starlink Help Center). Starlink changed its travel rules in July 2026 (Starlink Help Center):

• Roam Unlimited: up to 30 days at a time outside your home country. After that, return home, move your account to the new country, or upgrade to a Priority plan.
• Other Roam plans: for use in your home country only.
• Regions count as home: the US, Canada and their territories count as one region, and so do European countries. Travel within them isn’t “international”.
• Travel registration: using Starlink outside your home country requires registering your trip with ID in your account (Starlink Help Center).

The new rules apply to customers who signed up from July 14, 2026, and to existing customers from August 17, 2026.

Availability vs Ground Stations and Satellites

Availability depends on regulators and network capacity, not only on satellites overhead. Starlink’s satellites cover almost the whole planet, but service also needs licences and ground stations that connect the network to the internet. See our map of Starlink ground stations, and watch the satellites themselves on the live Starlink satellite tracker.
