Is Orbit IPTV free to use?

Yes. Orbit IPTV is completely free and open source. There is no signup, subscription or app to install — it runs entirely in your web browser.

What channels can I watch on Orbit IPTV?

Orbit IPTV streams more than 12,500 free, publicly available live TV channels from over 100 countries, aggregated by the open-source iptv-org project. Channels are organised by category — news, sports, movies, music, kids and more — as well as by country and language.

Why won't some live TV channels play?

Some streams are geo-blocked, require special request headers, or do not send the cross-origin (CORS) headers browsers need. Orbit IPTV labels these in advance and, on supported deployments, automatically retries them through a built-in proxy.

What does a geo-blocked channel mean?

A geo-blocked channel is a live stream the broadcaster restricts to viewers in a specific country or region. Orbit IPTV flags geo-blocked streams using data from iptv-org so you know before you click.

Do I need to install anything to watch live TV?

No. Orbit IPTV is a single web page. Open it in any modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and start watching. Safari plays the widest range of streams because it supports HLS natively.

Orbit IPTV hosts no video itself. It only links to publicly available streams aggregated by the iptv-org community project. The availability and licensing of each stream are the responsibility of the original broadcaster.

Live

No channel selected. Everything runs client-side — your browser connects directly to each stream.

This is a 100% static, open-source page. It pulls the live iptv-org playlist (~12,500 streams) straight from their public API in your browser and plays HLS with hls.js. No server, no tracking, nothing stored remotely.

Categorisation

Channels are joined to iptv-org metadata and grouped by category (News, Sports, Movies, Music, Kids…), country (with flag), language, and quality. Use the dropdowns and search to slice all of it.

GeoRestrictedOKCORSOfflineNote

Geo — iptv-org flags this stream as geo-blocked (label in the data). It will likely fail unless you're in the right country.
Restricted — the stream requires a custom Referer or User-Agent header. Browsers forbid setting those on media requests, so it can't play here. Works in VLC/mpv or via a proxy.
CORS — the stream's server sends no cross-origin headers, so the browser blocks it. Needs a proxy (below).
OK — verified playing in this browser. Offline — source is dead/unreachable.

Geo & Restricted are read straight from the data. CORS / OK / Offline are determined live the moment you click a channel, then cached.

Why some channels won't play (and the fix)

A static page can only play streams that (a) allow cross-origin requests and (b) aren't geo-locked from your location. Chrome/Firefox are strict; Safari plays HLS natively and bypasses CORS, so it works for far more channels. To unlock everything, route streams through a tiny proxy — e.g. a Cloudflare Worker that adds CORS headers and the required Referer/User-Agent. Drop its URL in and every stream becomes playable.
