Your Spotify account sets the region or country to the place where you originally created the account. However, there is an easy way you can change your Spotify region.

If you are thinking of travelling this summer (however, hard that might be at the moment) you may need to change your region. Although, this is a simple task that can be done in any browser on any device.

With a Premium account, you can travel anywhere in the world without having to change your Spotify region. Nevertheless, you may want to think about updating your payment method if you are moving to a new country.

For Free accounts, this is slightly different. You can only listen to music in another country for up to 14 days before you will need to change your region. There is a quick and easy way to do so.

How to change your Spotify region.

To change your Spotify region for your Free account just follow these simple steps.

  • Go to Spotify on your desired browser on any device. Log in to your account the way you prefer to do so (e.g., Facebook, Username…).
  • When you are logged in click on your profile in the top right corner. Select “Account” to access your account information.
