Top 15 IPTV Players
for All Devices (2026)

The go-to IPTV app for most users. Clean tabbed interface for Live TV, Movies, and Series. Xtream Codes + M3U support, built-in EPG, parental controls, and multi-screen support. Works on virtually every device.

The best EPG interface of any IPTV player. Smooth channel grid, picture-in-picture, recording to USB (Premium), and a companion phone app for browsing from your mobile while watching on TV. Android/Firestick only.

The most visually polished IPTV player. Channels and VOD presented with high-quality artwork, poster thumbnails, and a Netflix-style browsing experience. Excellent Xtream Codes integration and category management.

Modern card-based UI, smooth 4K playback, and excellent VOD/Series navigation. Supports multiple profiles in a single app — ideal for households with different viewing preferences. Growing fast in 2026.

The best cross-platform IPTV player — available on iOS, Android, and PC. Particularly strong on iPhone and iPad where few IPTV apps compete. Supports both Xtream Codes and M3U. Some features require a one-time payment.

The best Smart TV IPTV player for Samsung and LG. Available in both Samsung App Store and LG Content Store. M3U URL + EPG URL configuration takes under 2 minutes. Smooth playback on all Samsung and LG models.

The original Smart TV IPTV player — available since 2014. Upload M3U via siptv.app using your TV MAC address. One-time payment of £5.49 to remove the 7-day trial. Samsung support is excellent; LG support is decent.

Lightweight and extremely fast. Uses minimal RAM — perfect for older Android boxes or Firestick HD with limited memory. M3U + XMLTV EPG support only (no Xtream Codes). Clean list-based interface.

Kodi with the PVR IPTV Simple Client addon turns it into a full M3U IPTV player with EPG. Highly customisable, open-source, and runs on almost every platform including Raspberry Pi. Steeper learning curve than dedicated IPTV apps.

VLC can open and play M3U playlists directly — paste your M3U URL in Media → Open Network Stream. No IPTV-specific interface, no EPG, no channel categories. Works as a quick test tool or fallback player.

Popular on Apple TV and iOS. Infuse supports M3U streams and will play live TV, but there's no EPG interface or channel guide. Better suited for VOD/local media. Premium tier required for full features.

Paid iOS media player that supports M3U playlists and stream playback. No dedicated IPTV interface or EPG. A good choice for iOS users who already own nPlayer for local media, but GSE Smart IPTV is better dedicated choice.

Plex Media Server with the IPTV plugin adds live TV channel support with EPG. Complex to set up — requires a server running 24/7. Not recommended for IPTV-only use, but excellent if you already use Plex for local media management.

One of the best dedicated IPTV apps on iOS and Apple TV. Supports both Xtream Codes and M3U, with an EPG grid and VOD section. The Pro unlock (£2.99 one-time) removes adverts and adds extra features.

MX Player can open M3U playlist URLs and play live IPTV streams as a basic media player. No IPTV-specific interface or EPG. Acceptable fallback if dedicated apps fail, but purpose-built IPTV apps are significantly better.
