Rating systems for Movies & TV shows

Valid ratings for Movies and TV shows vary per country.

How to tag ratings in metadata

For Movies or TV shows, each rating has the format "system:rating" within a spreadsheet template, where:

  • "System" is the name of the rating system, and
  • "Rating" is the specific rating within that system.

To set the rating using the Content and Rights Administration Feed, use the tag:

<rating system="system">rating value</rating>.

Example: <rating system="mpaa">PG</rating>

Unrated content

Important:

  • "UNRATED" contents don’t go live in countries that require ratings.
  • Leaving the rating value blank isn’t the same as "UNRATED."
  • We’ll contact your team to determine whether a title should have a rating or is unrated.

A ratings authority actively assigns a rating to Movies and TV shows for the territory of distribution. When a Movie or TV show hasn't been assigned a rating, it’s considered "UNRATED."

Example: If the MPAA doesn't assign a rating to a movie distributed in the US, the movie should be assigned a rating value of "UNRATED." The tag would be: <rating system="mpaa">UNRATED</rating>.

BR ratings

In Brazil, ratings are required for all contents with TVOD.

There are 2 rating schemes:

  • Official ratings provided by the Ministry of Justice and Public Safety.
  • Self-ratings.

If the Ministry has rated the title, Google requires an official Brazilian rating and assigned content descriptors.

To find if your title has received an official rating and any content descriptors, check the Brazilian Classification Database.

If the title hasn't received an official rating, you can provide a self-rating in accordance with the Ministry’s Age Practical Guide for Rating.

When self-ratings are used as a provisional measure, update Google with the official rating if the Ministry issues one.

Requirements from partners

Important:

  • Rating values either Ministry-issued or self-rated are mandatory for all titles in Brazil.
  • Partners must submit content descriptors if they’re issued by the ministry.

There are 6 officially issued rating values and 6 corresponding self-rating values. Partners need to provide an officially issued Brazilian rating or self-rate.
