Doctor Who aired on a number of Cable and Satellite stations and Online streaming platforms:

- Horror Channel
- Cable and Satellite stations which served Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Asia, such as:
- and on Online streaming platforms, such as:
- US Cable Stations
Relayed Broadcasts
Several countries in Western Europe only saw Doctor Who on UK satellite channels and/or from transmissions received from a neighbouring country:
Doctor Who was not sold per se to these countries, but it was officially available because transmissions were deliberately relayed from another country:
- Papua New Guinea (relayed from Australia)
- Saint Lucia (relayed from Barbados)
See also the section on the Middle East - the Arabic countries of the Persian Gulf received TV broadcasts from their neighbours.

Countries Unconfirmed

Each country falls into one of eight continents or global regions:
