The best Reelix alternative in 2026
Coreflix is now listed as Reelix. Both reelix.ac and coreflix.tv still run, and since 28 August 2026 FMHY has put Reelix first.
By the Rotten Brains team · Updated 23 September 2026 · 3 min read
The short answer
Reelix and Coreflix are the same listing: reelix.ac is the main address and coreflix.tv the alternate, and both are still running. Look-alike .cfd sites also use the Coreflix name. If you want a backup that stays at one address, Rotten Brains is free and needs no account to watch.
Coreflix is now Reelix: what changed?
Coreflix came first. The coreflix.tv domain dates from 21 May 2026, according to a Gridinsoft domain scan, and FMHY, a popular community index of free sites, added it three days later on 24 May. It was starred on 27 May 2026.
The listing then wobbled. FMHY removed Coreflix on 31 July 2026 and brought it back, starred, on 8 August 2026. On 28 August 2026 the entry was rewritten as "Reelix or Coreflix", with reelix.ac as the main link, and it was starred again the next day.
FMHY did not say why the main name changed. Traffic followed the listing: Similarweb shows coreflix.tv down 44.94% in August 2026, so plenty of people who knew it as Coreflix may not realise Reelix is the same site.
FMHY's grading notes score Reelix / Coreflix 18 out of 18 and say it shows no new-tab pop-ups even without an ad blocker. Search also turns up coreflix.cfd and coreflixtv.cfd, which FMHY does not list.

A look around Rotten Brains
Real screenshots from the site, in the order that matters most to someone coming from Reelix.
01
Every season and episode, with Up Next
Shows open on a watch page with every season beside the player. The episode you are on is marked, and Up Next sits right above the list, so finishing an episode is one tap from the next.
Anime is here too, with sub and dub where both exist.
02
Pick up where you left off
With a free account, every movie and episode remembers the second you stopped, on every device. Continue Watching sits at the top of the home page, next to what is new in the shows you follow.
You never need the account to watch. It only adds the memory.

03
The player finds a working source by itself
Every title is checked against several sources before you press play, and the player starts on the one that answers first.
If a source stalls, the player tries the next one and picks up where you were. You can still pick one yourself from the settings menu, with a note on which ones carry extra audio languages or subtitles.
04
Subtitles in dozens of languages
Subtitles come from more than one source, so most titles have several versions per language. If the first one is out of sync with the video, the next one usually is not.
Many get lined up with the dialogue automatically when you pick them, and there is a delay slider for the rest.
05
Watch parties with friends anywhere
Start a party from any movie or episode and send the link. Everyone who opens it watches the same second of the same video, with a chat alongside, and the player keeps them in sync.
Any free account can start one. Friends can join and watch without an account at all.
06
Built for your phone too
The site works the same on a phone as on a laptop: the player pins to the top, the episode list scrolls underneath, and the controls are sized for thumbs.
Add it to your home screen and it opens full screen, like an app, with no store and no install.
