Mubi, privately owned and headquartered in the UK, was founded in 2007 and employs approximately 230 individuals, operating as a tier 1 media tech buyer specializing in media and TV services. The company functions as a global film platform that provides on-demand, streaming ad-free content, weekly cinema tickets to selected new release films with MUBI GO, and access to its international film criticism and news publication on Notebook. Mubi is available on the web, Roku devices, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, LG and Samsung Smart TVs, as well as on mobile devices including iPad, iPhone, and Android.
Mubi announced content available exclusively on its platform starting May 8, 2026. Previously, on April 19, 2026, the company launched the tenth season of its "Encuentros" podcast, marking five years since the series began. Earlier in April, on April 10, Mubi lost 200,000 subscribers following a 2025 public relations controversy that stemmed from a $100 million investment by venture capital firm Sequoia Capital. This issue reportedly hindered a year of potential growth for the arthouse streamer despite damage control efforts. This followed Mubi Australia’s announcement on April 1, 2026, of its monthly highlights, which included Akinola Davies Jr.’s 2025 feature film "My Father’s Shadow," a coming-of-age story set in Lagos during the 1993 Nigerian election crisis. The global streaming platform aims to discover and showcase ambitious films from both iconic and emerging directors.
