Want to know what's on TV right now, tonight or later this week? This page has the live TV guide for every major British channel, from BBC One and BBC Two to ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5, plus the Sky and UKTV entertainment channels. For every channel you'll see what's on now, what's up next and how long a program runs, and you can switch the guide to tonight, tomorrow and up to a week ahead.
You don't need an aerial to watch British TV anymore. The BBC streams free on BBC iPlayer, ITV on ITVX, and Channel 4 and Channel 5 have their own free apps, Channel 4 and My5. The Sky channels, Sky Cinema and Sky Sports live on NOW and Sky Go, while the UKTV channels like Dave, Gold and Alibi stream free on U. Want every channel in one place, with a full guide and recordings? A live TV service like Sky Stream, Virgin or NOW runs on your phone, computer and smart TV. You'll find every streaming service available in the UK in our platform catalog.
Away from home? British streams are usually blocked outside the UK. The fix is a VPN: it connects you like you're back home, unblocks the services you already pay for and streams them in HD. That's why, next to every program, we show you where to watch it online, wherever you are.
