Supported IPTV Player Apps & Devices
UK IPTV delivers your subscription as an M3U playlist or an Xtream Codes login — standard formats supported by a wide range of third-party IPTV player apps. We don't build our own app, so below is a complete list of the player apps we know work well, organised by platform, plus what M3U and Xtream Codes actually mean.
One subscription, every app and device. Whichever IPTV player app or device you use, a UK IPTV subscription works with it — we deliver an M3U playlist or Xtream Codes login that any compatible app on this page will accept.

- UHF
- A media player app that can open M3U playlists on supported devices.
What Are M3U and Xtream Codes?
These are the two connection formats almost every app above accepts, and it's how we deliver your subscription — not as a downloadable app.
An M3U file is a standard playlist format used to list streaming channels and media. Your subscription's M3U is a single URL you paste into your player app's "Add playlist" or "M3U URL" field.
The Xtream Codes API is a widely used IPTV login structure made up of a server address, username, and password, rather than a single link. Apps like IPTV Smarters Pro, TiviMate, and GSE Smart IPTV have a dedicated "Xtream Codes login" option that asks for these three details separately.
For the full setup process from order to first stream, see our IPTV subscription setup checklist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy any of these apps separately?
Most are free from your device's app store; a few, like TiviMate, have optional paid features on top of a free tier. UK IPTV doesn't require a specific paid app — any player that accepts M3U playlists or Xtream Codes logins will work with your subscription.
Which IPTV app should I use?
It depends on your device — see the categories above for what's commonly used on Fire TV, Android, Smart TVs, iOS, and desktop. If you're not sure, ask in chat and we'll recommend one for your specific setup.
Does a UK IPTV subscription work with all of these apps?
Yes. We deliver your subscription as an M3U playlist URL or an Xtream Codes login — exactly what every app on this page expects — so any of them will connect once you enter the details we send you.
What if my app isn't listed on this page?
If it accepts an M3U playlist URL or an Xtream Codes login (server address, username, and password), it will work with UK IPTV. Ask in chat if you're not sure whether your app supports either format.
