EZTV review

EZTV (EZTVx.to) is a torrent site dedicated to TV shows. New episodes of popular series appear within hours of airing, and it is one of the ten most visited torrent sites according to TorrentFreak.

The original EZTV and today’s EZTV

The original EZTV was a TV release group founded in 2005, famous for never running ads. In 2015 another group took control of its domains, and the original team told users to stop using the sites because “they are not ours anymore”. The EZTV that exists today is run by those new operators: it kept the name and the format, but it is not the original group. It has changed domain several times, from eztv.io and eztv.re to eztvx.to.

What can you find on EZTV?

• a home page with the latest episodes, updated all day;
• a show list with a page for every series and all its episodes;
• a release calendar and an RSS feed;
• each episode in several versions – from small 480p files to 1080p and 2160p – as magnet links or .torrent files.

Most files are scene and web releases also found on other torrent sites, collected in one place and sorted by show.

Is EZTV safe?

EZTV is usable, but it shows a lot of ads, including banners that look like download or “watch now” buttons. Use the magnet link next to each episode, keep an ad blocker on and never install a player or codec it suggests. Because it is a public tracker, your IP is visible to others, so use a VPN that allows torrenting.

EZTV down? New domain, proxies and blocks

EZTV is blocked in several countries, including the UK and Australia, and it changes domain when it has problems. Our EZTV status page checks the official domain automatically. “EZTV proxy” sites are often copies – our guide on how to spot fake clone sites explains how to tell them apart.

EZTV alternatives: sites like EZTV

For TV shows, 1337x has a well-organised TV library, and The Pirate Bay has an enormous archive. If you prefer streaming, Stremio with a debrid service plays episodes without downloading. See all options on our EZTV alternatives page.

Our EZTV verdict

EZTV is a quick way to find new TV episodes, neatly sorted by show. It is not the original EZTV, it has heavy ads and it changes domain often: use it with an ad blocker and a VPN.
