Is Discord Banned in YOUR Country? (2026)

Is Discord banned where you live? I checked all 197 countries: full blocks, partial restrictions and bans that were later lifted. Real sources, no guessing. 🔴 4 countries block Discord right now: 🇨🇳 China, since July 2018, behind the Great Firewall. 🇷🇺 Russia, since October 2024, after Discord refused to delete content banned there. 🇹🇷 Turkey, since October 2024, by court order over child-safety concerns. A minister has hinted it may reopen. 🇮🇷 Iran, filtered on the Prosecutor General's order. 🟡 4 countries restrict it: 🇬🇧 The UK has required age checks since July 2025 under the Online Safety Act (face scan or ID for adult content). 🇧🇷 Brazil has banned Discord livestreams since August 2026, after a teen's death. 🇯🇴 Jordan has partly blocked Discord since October 2025. The block was never announced, and some networks have restored access. 🇰🇵 North Korea has no open internet for ordinary citizens at all. 🟢 3 countries banned it and then lifted the ban: 🇳🇵 Nepal blocked it for 5 days in September 2025, one of 26 apps, and lifted the ban after deadly Gen Z protests. 🇵🇭 The Philippines banned it for one day in September 2026 over child safety. 🇪🇬 Egypt blocked it for 2 days in January 2026 without any announcement. 🇦🇺 Bonus: Discord is NOT on Australia's under-16 social media ban list. eSafety ruled it isn't age-restricted. Discord works without a ban in the other 186 countries. 📊 Sourcing OONI network measurements, The Record, Iran International, Discord Safety Center, Al Jazeera, MLex, Manila Times, Philstar, JURIST, Reuters, TechRadar, Australia's eSafety Commissioner and The New Arab. Every status was checked with at least 2 sources. As of October 2026. ⚠️ Blocks change fast. This reflects the latest verified reporting as of October 2026, not a live tracker. Short internet-wide shutdowns are not counted. #discord #ban #map #mapmayhem #geography #gaming
