FAQ
What is the cheapest way to watch TV in the UK?
Freeview is free with an aerial, and the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 apps stream for free (a TV Licence is still needed for live TV and BBC iPlayer). Sport costs extra through NOW, Sky, TNT Sports or DAZN.
Is IPTV legal in the UK?
IPTV technology is legal. Buying access to channels from sellers without broadcast rights is not, and UK authorities act against those sellers. Read our UK legality guide before paying.
How can I watch the Premier League without Sky?
NOW, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video cover different matches. Our cheapest Premier League guide compares the options.
