Vivimate IPTV
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 130,000+ VOD · International (GBP)
The broadest international footprint of the eight, giving the best odds on NRK and TV 2. Confirm Nordic channels specifically — they are the usual gap.
🇳🇴 Flickhaven — IPTV Norway
Best IPTV Norway 2026 — Our 8 Brands Compared
Pricing, channel coverage, on-demand libraries and device support, assessed for Norwegian viewers in Norway.
By Ryan Fernandez, PhD · Last updated
None of the eight IPTV services compared here is a domestic Norwegian provider: they are international services billed in pounds sterling rather than NOK, so coverage of NRK1, NRK2, NRK3 and other Norwegian channels is not guaranteed by any headline count. All eight are operated by the group that publishes Flickhaven. A traditional package from Telenor, Altibox and RiksTV runs NOK 400–700/month. Each offers a 24-hour trial with no card, so verify the channels you actually watch before paying.
Ownership disclosure
All eight services compared on this page are owned and operated by the same group that publishes Flickhaven. This is a first-party comparison of our own brands — not an independent review, and not a survey of the wider Norwegian market. Pricing is unified in pounds sterling across all eight; channel and library figures come from each brand's published site. For a genuinely independent view, seek out reviewers with no commercial relationship to these services.
Read this before you compare
You will pay a currency conversion from NOK to pounds sterling on a Norwegian card. If your viewing is mostly Norwegian terrestrial television, a domestic operator (Telenor, Altibox and RiksTV) will serve you better than anything on this page.
A traditional Norwegian pay-TV package from Telenor, Altibox and RiksTV runs NOK 400–700/month, usually on a fixed-term contract. The eight services here replace that with one prepaid IPTV subscription and an app on hardware you already own. New to IPTV?

IG IPTV
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 160,000+ VOD · United Kingdom (GBP)
160,000 on-demand titles, the largest catalogue here, useful where Viaplay and TV 2 Play hold most domestic sport.
3
Apollo Group TV
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 160,000+ VOD · Canadian lineup (GBP)
Canadian-focused, though its NHL coverage has genuine Norwegian appeal given the winter sport culture here.
4
TVNado IPTV
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 130,000+ VOD · International (GBP)
World Cup 2026 coverage. Norway's qualifying record makes this a weaker argument than elsewhere.
5
TiviMate IPTV
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 130,000+ VOD · International (GBP)
Relevant only if TiviMate is your player; Norwegian households commonly use Telenor or Altibox boxes.
TiviMate IPTV is a subscription brand run by our group. It is not the TiviMate player app and is not affiliated with that app's developer.
6
Vivimate TV
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 130,000+ VOD · International (GBP)
M3U and Enigma2 support for older hardware — limited benefit in a market with near-universal fibre.
7
IPTV Free Trial 2026
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 130,000+ VOD · US sports focus (GBP)
US sport has a modest Norwegian audience. Biathlon and cross-country skiing, which matter far more here, are not its strength.
8
Flickhaven
£15.00/mo · 55,000+ channels · 180,000+ VOD · United Kingdom (GBP)
British lineup — Premier League has a very large Norwegian following, which is the strongest reason to consider it.
All eight publish 55,000+ live channels and a free 24-hour trial, and bill in pounds sterling on the same plan ladder. The side-by-side table, full feature lists, pros and cons are published once on the brand portfolio behind these Norway picks rather than repeated on every country guide.
Norwegian channels to check for
A headline channel count says nothing about these — verify each Norwegian channel you watch by name during the free trial:
Public (NRK)
NRK1, NRK2, NRK3, NRK Super
Commercial
TV 2, TVNorge, TV3, MAX, FEM, VOX
Sport
TV 2 Sport, Viaplay sport channels, pan-European sports channels
Nordic
Swedish and Danish feeds are widely carried
Sport in Norway
The fixtures that matter to Norwegian subscribers are Eliteserien football and winter sport — biathlon and cross-country skiing draw the largest audiences. TV 2 and Viaplay carry most domestic football and winter sport. Rights change between seasons, so check the competition you follow during the trial, at the time it actually airs.
IPTV vs Norwegian pay-TV
| Factor | IPTV | Telenor, Altibox and RiksTV |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | From £15.00/mo | NOK 400–700/month |
| Billing currency | Pounds sterling (GBP) | NOK |
| Contract | None, cancel any time | Typically 12–24 months |
| Trial | 24 hours, no card | Rarely offered |
| Norwegian channel guarantee | Not guaranteed — verify in trial | Contractual |
| Licence fee | Same position as with pay-TV | Abolished — funded through income tax |
| Licensing certainty | Verify per provider | Holds rights to its channels |
The rows where a domestic operator wins outright are licensing certainty and guaranteed Norwegian channel coverage. Neither is a small advantage, and both are worth weighing against the price difference.
Legality and licence fees in Norway
IPTV as a technology is legal; what determines legality is licensing — whether a given provider holds distribution rights for the channels it carries. Verify that before subscribing: responsibility for compliance in Norway rests with you as the subscriber.
Licence fee: Abolished — funded through income tax
Norway scrapped its television licence in 2020. NRK is now funded through income tax, so there is no household fee and nothing to declare when you switch to IPTV.
Rates and rules change — confirm your own position with the relevant Norwegian authority.
How to test before you pay
Request the 24-hour trial on WhatsApp — no card is needed on any of the eight — then open NRK1, NRK2, NRK3 and the other Norwegian channels you watch by name during the evening peak, and time how long support takes to answer a question. The full method is in our guide on testing an IPTV service on Norwegian channels before you pay.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best IPTV service in Norway?
Vivimate IPTV leads this comparison for Norwegian viewers — the broadest international lineup, which counts for most where no brand is Norwegian-first. IG IPTV is the main alternative, offering 160,000+ on-demand titles. Both include a 24-hour trial with no credit card, which is the only reliable way to judge peak-hour performance on your own connection.
Are all eight of these services related?
Yes. All eight brands compared here are operated by the same group that publishes this site, so this is a first-party comparison rather than an independent review. They share infrastructure, one support desk and one price ladder billed in pounds sterling, and differ mainly in regional channel lineup, on-demand library size and player focus.
Do these services carry Norwegian channels?
None of the eight is a domestic Norwegian provider. Some Norwegian channels appear in their international lineups, but coverage is not guaranteed. Check NRK1, NRK2, NRK3 and the other channels you watch by name during the 24-hour trial before paying.
Which broadcasters hold the sports rights in Norway?
TV 2 and Viaplay carry most domestic football and winter sport. The fixtures that matter most to Norwegian subscribers are Eliteserien football and winter sport — biathlon and cross-country skiing draw the largest audiences. Rights change between seasons, so check the specific competition you follow during the trial, at the time it actually airs.
Will I be billed in NOK?
No. All eight bill in pounds sterling (GBP), not NOK, so a Norwegian card pays a currency conversion on the terms your card issuer sets. Local pay-TV from Telenor, Altibox and RiksTV is billed in NOK at NOK 400–700/month.
Is IPTV legal in Norway?
IPTV as a technology is legal. Legality turns on whether a given provider holds distribution rights for the channels it carries, not on the technology or the player app. Verify the licensing position of any service before subscribing; responsibility for compliance in Norway rests with you as the subscriber.
Do I still need a TV licence in Norway?
Abolished — funded through income tax. Norway scrapped its television licence in 2020. NRK is now funded through income tax, so there is no household fee and nothing to declare when you switch to IPTV.
How much does IPTV cost compared to Norwegian pay-TV?
The services here run from £15.00/mo, or £3.93/mo effective on the 12-month plan, two bonus months included. A traditional Norwegian pay-TV package from Telenor, Altibox and RiksTV typically costs NOK 400–700/month, usually on a fixed-term contract.
The bottom line
For a viewer in Norway, Vivimate IPTV is the pick from this group — the broadest international lineup, which counts for most where no brand is Norwegian-first.
None of the eight is a Norwegian service, so Norwegian channel coverage is something to verify rather than assume.
Whichever you choose, use the 24-hour trial before paying: peak hours, your own connection, the channels you actually watch.
