In this guide, I’m going to show you the quickest and easiest methods to watch UK TV in India.

So if you want to watch British TV in India this is the guide for you. In this guide, I’ll show you how you can watch on a range of devices, everything from your regular computer to your phone, tablet, Smart TV and even devices like the Amazon Firestick.

How to unblock UK TV Channels in India

To watch UK TV in India you’ll need to get yourself a VPN service. A VPN service comes as an app you download for your device that lets you alter your location.

Now you’re in India but with a VPN you can pretend you’re in the UK.

There are hundreds of VPN services out there and the first job is to select one. It’s worth noting that not all VPN services are suitable because they don’t all work with UK TV channels. There are also others that work with some channels but not others.

I’ve been testing a whole host of them and found the following three to be the most reliable for watching UK TV in India.

1. ExpressVPN
2. CyberGhost VPN
3. NordVPN

My favourite is ExpressVPN because not only do they work with the largest amount of channels but they’ve also got extra benefits like a huge 30-day money-back guarantee if you can’t get it working.

Just choose one of the providers above and then follow the section below for the type of device you have.

Watch UK TV on a Computer or Laptop

Watching UK TV on a regular computer or laptop is by far the easiest method. Apart from the VPN service app you don’t need any additional apps. If you want minimal fuss then this is for you.

Follow the instructions below to watch UK TV in India, if you’ve already signed up for a VPN service skip step 1. I’m using ExpressVPN as my example but it’s much the same with the other providers too.

1. Visit the ExpressVPN website and sign up for one of their subscription packages.
2. Go to the Products section of their website and download their app for your Windows or Mac OS computer.
3. Open the app and then activate it with the activation code which can be found in the ‘My Account’ area of their website.
4. Press Selected Location.
5. Then press United Kingdom.
6. If the app doesn’t automatically connect then press Connect.

Once the app has connected any websites that you visit will think you’re in the UK.

You can now visit any of the UK TV channel websites to watch. Some to try are BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, TV Player and others.

Watch UK TV on a Phone or Tablet

Watching UK TV in India on a phone or tablet is relatively simple too. Unless you already have the UK TV apps on your device you may need to ‘sideload’ them but I’ll cover that below.

First, you need to get and set-up the VPN service. I’m using ExpressVPN but you can use any of the providers listed earlier in this guide. Skip step 1 if you’ve already signed up.

1. Sign up for ExpressVPN and choose one of their subscription packages.
2. Go to the Google Play or Apple App Store and search ‘ExpressVPN’. Click to install the app.
3. Open the app and login with your account details.
4. Press Selected Location and then press United Kingdom.
5. The app should automatically connect but if not press Connect.

Now you’re connected you’re free to use any of the UK TV streaming apps.

If you don’t have them installed or can’t install them from your regular app store then you should search for them on APK Pure on your Android device or read this guide to install them on your Apple iOS device.

Watch UK TV on an Amazon Fire TV Stick

If you’ve got an Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick either from the UK, India or elsewhere it’s possible to use it to watch UK TV in India.

For this, you’ll need to sign up for ExpressVPN as the other two providers don’t support the Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick.

Follow the steps below to watch.

1. Visit the ExpressVPN website and sign up for their service.
2. On your Amazon Fire TV Stick use the search feature to search ‘ExpressVPN’.
3. Click on and install the ExpressVPN app.
4. Press the ‘Home’ button and then click the newly installed ExpressVPN app.
5. Login when required.
6. Press Selected Location and then press United Kingdom.
7. Press the Connect button if it doesn’t connect automatically.

Once you’re connected you can open any of the UK TV apps or use a web browser to visit streaming sites that support this.

It’s easiest if you’ve got a UK registered Fire TV Stick because you’ll be able to download apps directly.

If you haven’t then you’ll need to change your region on the Amazon website under ‘My Account’ then ‘Content’ and ‘Devices then Preferences’ and ‘Country/Region Settings’.

You’ll then be able to search and install apps from that region.

Watch UK TV on a Smart TV or other devices

If you’ve got some kind of Smart TV, games console or other devices that can access UK TV apps then the best way to watch UK TV is to use a VPN router.

As most of those types of devices don’t support VPN apps you’ll need to get yourself a hardware router.

This is the most expensive solution but it will enable any devices you have that have access to UK TV apps already to use them.

I recommend using an InvizBox 2. It’s a simple hardware device that connects to your regular internet router. It creates a new hotspot that you can connect from your device and all data passing through it will appear as if it’s in the UK.

All you need to do is buy one and connect it to your regular router. It comes with set-up instructions but is outside the scope of this article. However, it doesn’t take long to set up allowing you to watch UK TV in India on any type of device.

Conclusion

There are multiple solutions to watch UK TV in India depending on the type of device you have.

By far the easiest is a simple VPN app from ExpressVPN. This works with most devices including computers, laptops, tablets, phones and even the Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick.

If you’ve got any other device such as a Smart TV or games console you’ll need a hardware device like the InvizBox 2 but this is the more expensive option.

For most devices a simple VPN app is sufficient. Click the orange button below to grab my recommended VPN service ExpressVPN. Sign up and download their app.

Then simply connect to the UK and enjoy watching UK TV in India.
