Pretty sure Audible has the entire Earthsea series as part of the subscription. It’s not 'free' free, but you use your monthly credit on it and keep it forever even if you cancel. That’s how I got mine. I tried listening through Libby with my library first, but the wait was like six weeks for 'The Tombs of Atuan', and I’m too impatient for that.
I actually prefer the narration on Audible’s version to the older library copy I sampled. The narrator’s voice fits Ged’s journey from arrogance to wisdom really well, especially in the scenes on the open sea. Sometimes you can find it included in the Plus Catalog if you’re lucky, but it rotates. Just check if it says 'Included' or if you need a credit before you commit.
My copy is still in my library from two years ago, so it definitely sticks.

Checked this recently. Audible and Apple Books both have it, but require a credit/purchase. For true subscription access, try Everand. I saw it in their included catalog last month. The app itself is a bit clunky, but the price is right if you listen to a lot.

I have a slightly contrary take on this. Hunting for a specific title as 'free with subscription' is a moving target. Services like Scribd (now Everand) or Spotify Audiobooks often have it included in their monthly fee one month, then it’s gone the next when licensing changes. I got burned waiting for 'The Farthest Shore' to come back on Scribd and it never did.
The most reliable method is still the library route via Hoopla or Libby, if your library subscribes. Availability is instant with Hoopla, no waits. The audio quality on the version I borrowed was perfectly fine, no issues. Sure, you don't own it, but how many times are you really going to revisit it? Once, maybe twice for a favorite passage? The library copy suited me just fine.

Libro.fm might? I’m not 100% sure because their catalog can be different from Audible’s, but they offer a subscription where you get credits for audiobooks. The key is they let you choose which bookstore gets support from your purchase, which is a nice model. If they have it, it would be a 'use a credit' situation, not an all-you-can-listen streaming thing like Spotify for audiobooks.
Honestly, I’d just search 'A Wizard of Earthsea' directly in their app—that’s faster than relying on memory. Their search function works fine.

mostly because I wanted to see how a narrator handles all those true names. Found a few sketchy sites that supposedly had it, but the audio quality was terrible, like someone recorded it through a tin can, and the chapters were all out of order. Gave up after that.
Honestly, your best legal bet is probably checking your local library's digital service like Libby or Hoopla. Mine had the first book narrated by Harlan Ellison, which is a wild, intense performance, not the newer ones. It's not exactly 'streaming' in the YouTube sense—you download it through the app for a loan period. But it's free and it feels good knowing the right people are getting their due.
I went looking for this exact thing last month after rereading the physical copy. My local library uses Libby and Hoopla, and 'A Wizard of Earthsea' was available on both as an audiobook. All I needed was a library card number. The narration was good, a solid listen for my commute. Some library systems have a better selection than others, so if yours doesn't have it, you might check if they offer reciprocal borrowing with a larger city library. It’s a bit of a process, but it’s how I got mine without spending a dime.
Spotify now has a bunch of audiobooks included with a premium subscription, too. I haven’t seen Le Guin's work pop up in that free catalog yet, but it’s worth keeping an eye on as their library expands. Honestly, the legal free options are mostly library-based or these new subscription perks. Anything promising a straight ‘download’ from a random site is usually trouble.
Look, it took me forever to find an easy way to preview the audiobook for 'A Wizard of Earthsea' without immediately hitting a paywall. Most audiobook services are terrible about this – they want your credit card before you even hear a sentence.
I finally got a decent sample on Libro.fm. They partner with independent bookstores and actually let you listen to a solid chunk right on their website or app without any commitment. You don't need to start a trial or anything. It’s just there. The sample included the famous opening scene with the shadow beasts, which was enough to sell me on the narrator's voice.
Apple Books sometimes has previews too, but they're shorter. It's wild how much variation there is between platforms for what should be a simple thing.
Spotify actually has a decent audiobook section now! Every Premium account gets 15 hours of listening per month included. That's enough for a full book if you pick something around that length. You don't need a separate audiobook subscription; it's just part of the music service you might already pay for. It's not an infinite library, but the selection is growing and includes new releases.
Just search 'audiobooks' on there and see what's available in your region. It's become my go-to for trying out new fiction without committing another monthly fee.
