The list

Free live TV and live news, worldwide

These channels put their live stream on their own website, app or official YouTube channel, for free, and they work outside their home country. Most of them are news channels or channels made for viewers abroad. A few apps list only some countries: each page shows where the stream is and where it works.

Why are most entertainment channels not free abroad?

Channels buy films, series and sport for one country only, so their apps block other countries. News channels and channels made for viewers abroad are the exception. More in our guide to watching TV abroad.
