Pornhub announced on March 24, 2020, that it would make Pornhub Premium free worldwide through April 23, presenting the temporary offer as an incentive to stay home during COVID-19 restrictions. The promotion has ended; the announcement does not establish that Premium is free today.
What Pornhub announced in March 2020
In a March 24 post reproduced by AS Argentina, Pornhub said it was extending free Premium access worldwide until April 23. The company urged people to stay home and stay safe. Its announcement described an end date, so this was a limited promotion—not a permanent change to the service.
The worldwide offer followed earlier country-specific promotions. A retrospective review in Archives of Sexual Behavior describes offers in Italy, Spain, and France before the global expansion. Those accounts establish the broad sequence, not every country’s specific access terms.
Why the company said it made the offer
Pornhub framed the promotion as a way to encourage people to stay home during the pandemic. In a March 2020 statement quoted by Out, company vice president Corey Price said, “With nearly one billion people in lockdown across the world because of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s important that we lend a hand and provide them with an enjoyable way to pass the time. We hope by expanding our offer of free Pornhub Premium worldwide, people have an extra incentive to stay home and flatten the curve.”

“Nearly one billion” was Price’s estimate in the company’s statement, not an independently verified count. The sources document the company’s stated rationale; they do not show that the promotion changed isolation behavior or affected public-health outcomes.

The announced worldwide offer ran through April 23, 2020. A March 25 report by The Next Web later updated its coverage to say the promotion was over. That reporting confirms the end of the COVID-era deal; it does not establish current Premium pricing, availability by country, or account requirements.
So, if you are asking whether Pornhub Premium was made free globally during coronavirus, yes: the company announced a worldwide, time-limited offer in March 2020. If you are asking whether it is free globally now, these historical sources cannot answer that current pricing question.
