Free BBC iPlayer streaming (requires a valid UK TV licence)

BBC iPlayer gives UK residents free access to live TV and on‑demand catch‑up of BBC programmes via the website and apps. The service is free to use but legally requires a valid UK TV licence to watch live or catch‑up TV on iPlayer; sign‑in with a free BBC account may be needed for personalised features. Anyone living in the UK with a TV licence can access iPlayer’s content at no extra charge by visiting the iPlayer homepage and using the web or app interface.
