The tables in this article provide information on ExpressRoute geographical coverage and locations, ExpressRoute connectivity providers, and ExpressRoute System Integrators (SIs).
Note
Azure regions and ExpressRoute locations are two distinct and different concepts, understanding the difference between the two is critical to exploring Azure hybrid networking connectivity.
Azure regions are global datacenters where Azure compute, networking, and storage resources are hosted. When creating an Azure resource, you need to select the resource location, which determines the specific Azure datacenter (or availability zone) where the resource is deployed.
ExpressRoute locations, also known as peering locations or meet-me locations, are co-location facilities where Microsoft Enterprise Edge (MSEE) devices are situated. These locations serve as the entry points to Microsoft's network and are globally distributed, offering the ability to connect to Microsoft's network worldwide. ExpressRoute partners and ExpressRoute Direct user establish cross connections to Microsoft's network at these locations. Generally, the ExpressRoute location doesn't need to correspond with the Azure region. For instance, you can create an ExpressRoute circuit with the resource location in East US for the Seattle peering location.
You have access to Azure services across all regions within a geopolitical region if you're connecting to at least one ExpressRoute location within the geopolitical region.

The following table shows connectivity locations and the service providers for each location. If you want to view service providers and the locations for which they can provide service, see Locations by service provider.
-
Local Azure Regions refers to the regions that can be accessed by ExpressRoute Local at each peering location. ✗ indicates that ExpressRoute Local isn't available at that peering location.
-
Zone refers to pricing.
-
ER Direct refers to ExpressRoute Direct support at each peering location. If you want to view the available bandwidth at a location, see Determine available bandwidth
