BBC iPlayer

Watch live TV and on-demand entertainment with BBC iPlayer, your gateway to premium British television, news, sports, and documentaries—all in one app.

Experience the full breadth of BBC programming at your fingertips. From breaking news coverage and major sporting events to award-winning comedies, gripping documentaries, and edge-of-your-seat dramas, BBC iPlayer brings premium content wherever you are. Whether you're catching up on the latest series like The Traitors and Race Across the World, or discovering fresh entertainment, you'll find something for every mood and moment.

Take control of live television like never before. Watch live channels in real time, then pause, restart, or rewind part way through—so you never miss a crucial moment. This flexibility transforms how you experience breaking news, live sports, and appointment viewing, giving you the freedom to watch on your own schedule rather than the broadcaster's.

Download your favourite shows and watch offline, perfect for commutes, travel, or any time you're away from a reliable internet connection. Build a personal watchlist to track series you want to catch up on, and enjoy intelligent recommendations tailored to your viewing habits. Sign in once and seamlessly resume watching across multiple devices—start a drama on your phone and continue on your tablet without losing your place.

Parents gain peace of mind with dedicated parental controls. Create a child profile offering age-appropriate content from CBBC and CBeebies, ensuring young viewers only access suitable programming. Stream to your TV effortlessly using Google Chromecast on supported devices, transforming your smartphone into a remote control for bigger-screen entertainment.

Your viewing experience is enhanced through smart personalization. The app learns what you watch and remembers how far you've progressed, delivering show suggestions you'll genuinely want to see. You're always in control—turn off personalization anytime through your BBC account settings, or manage your data preferences directly in the app.

BBC iPlayer respects your privacy and device security. The app uses standard Android permissions and performance cookies to maintain quality, with full transparency about data collection. Opt out of tracking whenever you choose through in-app Settings.
