Catch up TV ITV Player

Watch ITV TV free online 

The ITV Player online TV service lets you watch most shows from ITV1, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4 online at the same time as they air on TV. You can also catch up on programmes you've missed from the previous 30 days through your TV with certain TV service providers and game consoles, on the go with Apple and Android tablets and smartphones and online with your computer.

As with rival broadcasters, some ITV Player online TV content such as films, music and sporting events are not available to watch online because of rights issues.

How to watch ITV Player online TV

Online TV shows can't be downloaded and stored on your computer – you can only stream them directly from the ITV Player website. This means it's important your broadband speed is fast enough.

You'll also need to install the latest version of Flash. For the best viewing experience you'll need at least Flash version 10 installed on your PC or Mac.
