Questions

Is it free to watch BBC News live?

Yes. BBC News streams on its official YouTube channel, which is free to watch anywhere YouTube is available. Some programmes may be limited by region or rights.

Why is the BBC News player not showing anything?

The live player only works while BBC News is broadcasting live on YouTube. Most channels go live for news bulletins and special programmes, not all day. When it's off air, the “Latest episodes” option plays the newest uploads instead.

Can I watch BBC News on my TV?

Yes. Open the YouTube app on your smart TV, Fire TV Stick, Chromecast or Roku and search for the channel name. You can also cast from your phone.
