Streaming platforms in Pakistan

ARY Plus is the streaming service of Pakistan’s ARY Digital Network, part of the ARY Group. It brings the network’s channels into one app: ARY Digital for dramas, ARY News, A-Sports HD with live cricket, plus ARY Qtv, ARY Musik and ARY Zindagi. You also get original shows, a short-form Snips feed and titles to rent or buy. The platform used to be called ARY ZAP and was relaunched and rebranded as ARY Plus in February 2026, adding 4K, Dolby Digital on select titles and AI recommendations. It runs free with ads alongside a paid subscription, aimed mainly at the global Pakistani diaspora. Sport is often geo-locked by territory.

Green TV Entertainment is Pakistan’s free entertainment channel from Islamabad, on air since 2023 with bold modern Urdu drama serials like Kabuli Pulao, Iqtidar and Gentleman. Travelers reach it free through the web player at greenentertainment.tv/live and a YouTube channel with nearly 15 million subscribers. There is no paid app and no subscription, you simply watch. Some regional content can be geo-limited, and that is where a VPN to Pakistan helps.

Har Pal Geo is the official streaming home of the entertainment arm of Pakistan’s Geo network, run by the Jang media group under Independent Media Corporation. It serves up Geo Entertainment dramas on demand, such as Sanwal Yaar Piya and Sher, alongside live feeds of Geo News, Geo Tez and Geo Kahani. The service is free and ad supported, with no paid subscription to worry about. It is built for the global Pakistani diaspora, though the live channels are geo blocked outside Pakistan, so a Pakistani VPN brings them back. Streams top out at HD.

Hum TV is the free, ad-supported streaming arm of the Hum TV channel, Pakistan’s leading Urdu drama channel (Hum Network Limited, Karachi). It offers serial dramas, telefilms, OST tracks and a live channel feed, all completely free with ads. There is no paid subscription. The content also runs on YouTube. Hum TV is geo-restricted to Pakistan and officially available in 37 countries.

Shoq is the OTT service of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), launched in 2023. It carries 200+ live TV channels, Hollywood films and series from the STARZPLAY catalogue, Pakistani movies, dramas, kids content, news and live cricket in up to 1080p. Because Shoq is built for Pakistan with rupee billing, travellers reach their account with a VPN set to a Pakistan server. Your subscription stays with PTCL.

Tamasha is Pakistan’s largest homegrown OTT app, run by Jazz, the country’s biggest mobile carrier, part of the VEON group. It launched in October 2021, succeeding the earlier Jazz TV. It bundles more than 75 live TV channels, live cricket including the HBL PSL and ICC events, Pakistani dramas such as Parizaad and Suno Chanda, Urdu and regional films, and news. During the 2025 Asia Cup it reached 32 million monthly active users. The service is largely free through Jazz mobile data bundles, with a free daily data tier, and streams in HD at most, with no 4K. Tamasha is Pakistan-only, geo-blocked abroad, and actively blocks foreign IPs and VPNs.

Tapmad is an independent, venture backed Pakistani streaming service based in Karachi and built around sport. Its headline draw is the exclusive rights to the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Pakistan, which means all 104 matches stream in one place. Alongside that it co streams the PSL cricket league on a non exclusive basis and carries more than a hundred live channels, news, dramas, movies and its own Tapmad Originals. The model pairs a free, ad supported tier with a low cost premium subscription. Streaming tops out at HD and is available inside Pakistan only, so a Pakistani VPN is needed from abroad. The app launched in 2017.

Urduflix is the world’s first dedicated Urdu-language subscription streaming service, run from Karachi by Emax Media. Founded in 2020 and launched in spring 2021, it pitches itself as the original “Urdu Netflix”: an Urdu-focused OTT platform rather than a general catalogue. Its lineup centres on homegrown Urdu originals such as Aurat Gardi, Dai and Khudkash Muhabbat, rounded out with Pakistani dramas and films plus Turkish and Korean series dubbed into Urdu. The service targets the Pakistani diaspora worldwide, bills in US dollars and offers a freemium layer with free sample episodes. Streaming is in HD, and the app stays actively maintained.

Vidly.tv is a Pakistani streaming service from Rockville Technologies, online since 2018. It offers Pakistani dramas and films, classic PTV serials, dubbed Turkish series, kids and music, live TV channels and live cricket. The catalogue holds over 10,000 titles in up to 1080p. You pay by micro-billing through a carrier or mobile wallet, and the content is tied to the country where you created your account.

mjunoon.tv is a Pakistani freemium service from Convex Interactive that has bundled forty-plus live TV and radio channels plus a drama library since 2017. You get Pakistani news, entertainment, regional and kids channels alongside a few international stations. It is free with ads, or you can take the Plus tier for ad-free viewing and seven-day rewind in 1080p.

DAZN is a sports-first streaming service built to compete with traditional pay-TV sports channels. The schedule shifts dramatically from country to country: in Germany it carries the Bundesliga and Champions League matches, in Italy it owns the majority of Serie A, in Japan it runs baseball and boxing. The global side of DAZN remains its combat sports division, where it has become one of the biggest buyers of marquee boxing pay-per-view events.

Netflix didn’t invent streaming but it set the rules everyone else now plays by. With 325 million paying subscribers across 190 countries and a stable of shows like Squid Game, Stranger Things and Wednesday, it still defines what mainstream streaming looks like. Recent pushes into live sports and ad-supported plans show the company is willing to bend its own playbook when the market demands it.

Max is Warner Bros. Discovery’s attempt to keep everything important in one app: HBO’s prestige catalogue, the DC Universe, Warner Bros. theatrical slate and the reality-heavy Discovery library. The product still leans on HBO’s reputation for Sunday-night event TV (Succession, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon) but the expanded library means there is something for almost every household.

Prime Video lives inside the wider Prime bundle, so streaming is only part of what you’re paying for. The content mix is unusual: splashy originals (The Boys, The Rings of Power, Reacher) sit next to a huge catalogue of movies available to rent or buy and a growing set of optional add-on Channels. Prime has also turned into a heavyweight in live sports, from Thursday Night Football to Champions League in select markets.

EuroLeague TV is the official streaming home of European basketball, operated by the league itself through Euroleague Ventures, an IMG partnership run out of Barcelona. The service carries every Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and BKT EuroCup game live and on demand, plus a deep archive of classic encounters and a round-the-clock EL 24/7 channel. There are some hard limits to know about. Coverage is fully blacked out in Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, where FloSports holds North American rights. German club matches air on a delay, with MagentaSport carrying them live, and France got the platform back as the primary route in March 2026. Access comes as an annual Season Pass.

FIAWEC+ is the official streaming home of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the global stage for long-distance motorsport. It is run jointly by the championship and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the ACO in Le Mans, France, which means the feeds come straight from the people behind the racing. The service carries every WEC session and the complete 24 Hours of Le Mans, with onboard cameras, Live Timing Pro and a multi-season archive on top. You also get WEC Originals and the behind-the-scenes WEC Insider documentaries, all in crisp 1080p HD. There is no built-in smart-TV app, but Chromecast and AirPlay push it to the big screen.

MotoGP VideoPass is the official streaming service of the road racing world championship, operated by Dorna Sports (renamed MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group in 2026, majority-owned by Liberty Media and headquartered in Madrid). It carries every MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE session live, from practice and qualifying through sprints to the races themselves, across all 22 Grands Prix of the 2026 season. A six-angle Multifeed lets you switch between camera views, including onboard shots, while Multiview stacks several feeds on one screen and a deep archive reaches back to 1992. Everything streams in 1080p on the web, mobiles, tablets, and the major connected-TV platforms.

NWSL+ is the National Women’s Soccer League’s own free, ad-supported streaming app, built on Endeavor Streaming technology. Sign up with an email and you can watch live matches, replays and highlights from every game across more than 130 countries. The 2026 season grew to 16 teams, including new clubs Denver Summit FC and Boston Legacy FC. In the United States many marquee fixtures sit with partners like Prime Video and ESPN, so NWSL+ carries only the leftover live games at home. A VPN simply changes your location.

The Inner Circle is the official streaming home of ONE Championship, the Singapore-based Asian combat promotion run by Group ONE Holdings. It carries live cards across MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and submission grappling, including the Friday-night ONE Friday Fights from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, ONE Fight Night events, numbered shows, plus replays and a deep archive. As of June 2026 it runs as a global subscription. Be aware that the platform applies strict VPN checks at purchase and during playback, and blacks out events where local broadcasters hold the live rights, so what you can watch live depends on the country you connect from.

Rally.TV is the official streaming home of the FIA World Rally Championship, operated by Germany’s WRC Promoter. It started life in 2014 as WRC+ and took on its current name in August 2023. Alongside the WRC itself you get the European Rally Championship, World Rallycross and the support classes WRC2, WRC3 and Junior WRC. Every special stage runs live, backed by real-time GPS tracking, onboard cameras from every car, condensed highlights and a deep archive. The 2026 season spans fourteen rounds. It works on the web, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV and Chromecast, plus there’s a free ad-supported channel, Rally.TV FAST+, on Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Rakuten TV and Pluto TV.

RugbyPass TV is World Rugby’s own free, ad-supported streaming service, run out of the governing body’s Dublin headquarters and launched back in August 2023, a fortnight before that year’s World Cup kicked off. There’s no fee at all; you just create a free account and start watching. The catalogue spans the men’s and women’s Rugby World Cup, WXV, the Pacific Nations Cup, the U20 Championship and HSBC SVNS sevens plus qualifiers, topped up with more than 10,000 hours of archive and World Rugby Studios originals. One catch: individual fixtures get blacked out wherever a local broadcaster holds the rights, such as Stan in Australia or Peacock in the States.

Tennis TV is the official live streaming home of the ATP Tour, men’s professional tennis, run by ATP Media out of Wimbledon in London. It carries every ATP Masters 1000, ATP 500 and ATP 250 event, plus the Nitto ATP Finals and the Next Gen ATP Finals, adding up to more than 2,500 matches a year and over 40,000 hours of replays in the archive. One subscription works across 200 plus territories, everything streams in HD, and a spoiler-free mode keeps results hidden until you press play. What you won’t find here are the four Grand Slams or the women’s WTA tour.

TrillerTV, the service once known as FITE, is a global home for combat sports and professional wrestling. It carries boxing, including the bare-knuckle promotion BKFC, which it streams exclusively, alongside MMA and the striking action of Muay Thai and kickboxing through GLORY. Wrestling fans get GCW, NJPW, TNA, MLW and ROH, most of it live as it happens. The platform runs more than 1,000 live events a year. Operated by Flipps Media under Triller Group, it is available almost anywhere, though individual cards can carry regional blackouts. You choose how to watch: a free ad-supported tier, the TrillerTV+ subscription, or a one-off pay-per-view.

UEFA.tv is UEFA’s official free streaming service, available worldwide once you create a free account. Be clear on one thing: the big live games (Champions League, Europa League, the Euros) are not shown live here, only post-match highlights. What you can watch live for free are the youth competitions (U17, U19, U21 and the Youth League), selected women’s football, futsal and the live draws, alongside an archive of classic finals, documentaries and magazine shows. The 2024 revamp brought DVR, picture-in-picture and offline downloads in up to 1080p.
