TV Licensing

Do I need a TV Licence to watch BBC iPlayer?

Yes. You must be covered by a TV Licence (including a free TV Licence) to use BBC iPlayer. This applies to any device you use. You don’t need a licence to watch S4C programmes on demand.

Your TV Licence lets you enjoy a huge range of TV. It covers you for all TV channels on any TV service, pay TV services like Sky, and watch live TV on streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and Netflix. As well as everything on BBC iPlayer. On any device.

You don’t need an additional licence for BBC iPlayer. If you already have a TV Licence, you’re already covered.
