What is World Live TV?
World Live TV is a free web app that lets you watch live TV channels from every inhabited continent (Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America and Oceania) in your web browser. It lists 6,000+ free-to-air channels from 170+ countries, sorted by continent, country, language and type: news, sports, movies, kids, music, religious, documentary and more. The channel list comes from the open iptv-org project and is refreshed every day, and every stream is checked in the background so that working channels are shown first. Streams play directly from each broadcaster, so there is nothing to install, no sign-up and no fee.

Browse Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America and Oceania, then pick a country to see its channels.

Working channels first
Every stream is tested in the background and re-checked every few days. Channels that are offline are hidden automatically.

If one source fails, the player tries the next one by itself. Choose the video quality, or let it adapt to your internet speed.
Favourites and history
Save the channels you love with one tap. Your favourites and recently watched channels stay on your own device.
Phone, tablet, PC and TV
Works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. Use picture-in-picture, full screen, or keep watching in a mini player while you scroll.
Search and language filter
Find a channel by name, or show only channels in your language, such as Bengali, English, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish or French.
Share any channel
Every channel has its own link. Send it on WhatsApp or Messenger and your friend opens the same channel.
Private and light
No account and no tracking of what you watch. The channel list is a small file, and video comes straight from the broadcaster.

Tips for smooth live TV
- Keep "Checked working only" turned on to see channels that passed our latest test first.
- If a channel buffers, choose a lower quality such as 480p or 360p in the quality menu.
- Some channels are geo-blocked and only play inside their home country. Try another channel from the same country.
- Some channels are not on air 24 hours a day. If one is dark, check again at its local evening time.
- On mobile data, 480p uses roughly 0.5 to 0.7 GB per hour, and HD can use 1.5 GB or more.
- Use the arrow keys (up and down) on a computer to switch channels quickly, F for full screen and M for mute.
Frequently asked questions
Is World Live TV free?
Yes. Every channel on the page is free to watch, with no sign-up, no subscription and no app to install.
Is it legal to watch these channels?
We only show channels whose stream comes from the broadcaster itself or from an official free platform such as Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, Plex, Roku or Tubi. Channels that are only available through other apps, cable operators or pirate sites, and pay-TV channels re-streamed without the owner's permission, are hidden automatically. We do not host, record or change any stream. Broadcasters can ask for a channel to be removed through our contact page.
How many channels and countries are there?
Right now there are 6,000+ channels from 170+ countries on all six inhabited continents. The list is refreshed every day and streams are re-tested every few days.
Why does a channel not play?
The broadcaster may be offline, the channel may not be on air at that hour, or it may be blocked outside its home country. The player tries every source automatically; if none works, tap Next channel.
Can I watch Bangladeshi and Indian TV channels?
Yes. Choose Bangladesh or India in the country list, or pick Bengali or Hindi in the language list to see channels from every country in that language.
Does it work on mobile and smart TV?
Yes. It works in Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox and Samsung Internet on Android phones, iPhones, iPads, computers and smart TVs with a browser.
Can I watch live football and cricket?
Sports channels that are free to air are listed under Sports. Big matches with paid TV rights are usually not available on free streams, so check the official broadcaster in your country for those.
Do you record what I watch?
No. There is no account. Your favourites and recently watched list are saved only in your own browser, and you can clear them at any time.
