In this post, I will show you how to list all Azure regions using PowerShell. You can also use Azure Cloud Shell to get a list of all Azure regions along with physical location and geography group details.
Each Azure geography contains one or more regions and meets specific data residency and compliance requirements. From the Azure Portal, it is difficult to list all the Azure Regions and this is where PowerShell is useful.
Most of the configuration in Azure can be done with Azure Portal. However, in some situations using PowerShell commands makes your tasks easier. Thankfully, the PowerShell automation is supported through the Azure Portal.
To manage Azure using PowerShell you must first install Azure PowerShell module. There are different ways to install Azure PowerShell module. You could choose any of these methods listed below:
- Azure PowerShell from WebPI. Download Azure PowerShell and start the install.
- Using PowerShell Gallery
- Download MSI installer from GitHub
Get-AzLocation PowerShell Cmdlet

- Providers
- Location
- DisplayName
- Type
- Longitude
- Latitude
- PhysicalLocation
- RegionType
- RegionCategory
- GeographyGroup

List all Azure Regions using PowerShell
Let’s see the steps to list all Azure regions using PowerShell. Assuming that you have installed the Azure module for PowerShell, launch the PowerShell on your computer and run the below command.
Login-AzAccount
After you enter the above command, Microsoft Azure sign-in window appears which requires you to enter the credentials to log in to Azure.
You can also use Connect-AzAccount cmdlet which Connects to Azure with an authenticated account for use with cmdlets from the Az PowerShell modules.
Enter the email and password to connect to Azure and log in to Azure account.
Run the following to command in the PowerShell window to get all the Azure regions.
Get-AzLocation | select displayname,location
List all Azure Regions using Cloud Shell
By connecting to Azure Cloud Shell, you can run a simple PowerShell command to list all Azure regions. From the Azure portal, connect to Cloud Shell.
Wait while the connection to cloud shell succeeds.
Requesting a Cloud Shell.Succeeded.
Connecting terminal...
MOTD: Customize your experience: save your profile to $HOME/.config/PowerShell

Get-AzLocation | select displayname,location
The command output now shows the DisplayName and Location of all the Azure regions.
