All eleven seasons and both films, in order, and where to stream them in the UK.
The truth is out there, and in the UK almost all of it is in one place: Disney+. Here is the order to watch Mulder and Scully’s cases, including the spin-off and both films.
Recommended watch order

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The X-Files seasons 1–5 | 1993–1998 | Disney+ |
| 2 | The X-Files (film, also known as Fight the Future) | 1998 | Disney+ |
| 3 | The X-Files seasons 6–9 | 1998–2002 | Disney+ |
| 4 | The Lone Gunmen (spin-off; watch alongside season 8) | 2001 | Check Disney+; availability varies |
| 5 | The X-Files: I Want to Believe (film) | 2008 | Disney+ |

Older seasons also turn up on Sky and on free-with-ads services from time to time, but Disney+ is the only place with the full run.
Short on time?
Watch the “mythology” episodes for the alien conspiracy story, then add the classic standalone “monster of the week” episodes such as “Squeeze”, “Home”, “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” and “Bad Blood”.
