BFBS TV Player

For mobile, laptop and connected TVs

While you’re away from the UK, BFBS TV Player means you can watch the TV that you love live or on demand to suit your time zone and location. So, with 30+ channels live and on-demand, you'll never have to miss a live match, your favourite movie or TV show again (and it's free!).

It’s easy to set up and our team are here to help if you need it.

Due to international rights permissions, not all BFBS TV programmes are available for streaming and catch-up.

BFBS TV is only available for use in overseas British forces locations.
