The Ranger Network is an American-Japanese subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service in the same vein as Disney+ and Netflix owned and operated by the Media and Entertainment Distribution divisions of the Toei Company and Hasbro. The service primarily distributes several series from both Power Rangers and Super Sentai along with plans for several original films and television programming in the near future. The service was launched on the premiere date of episode 1 of Power Rangers Robo Force in the United States, Japan and Puerto Rico before expanding to the United Kingdom, Brazil, Spain and South Korea a week later. Upon launch, it was met with positive reception from many Tokusatsu fans for its content library along with it's accurate subtitles, but was criticized for technical problems. As of right now, users can subscribe to the service for only $7.99 a month.
