BT TV packages run on the EE TV streaming box and start at £15 a month for the Entertainment pack, rising to £40 for Big Sport, with a flexible 30-day rolling TNT Sports add-on at £30. Every pack includes a free Freeview base, and you can bundle TV with BT broadband to save £5 to £10 a month. Sport is now TNT Sports, not BT Sport.

Bundles
You do not need BT broadband to take BT TV, since any connection of 25 Mbps or more works. But buying a BT TV and broadband bundle is the cheapest route: BT applies a multi-product discount that typically saves £5 to £10 a month against standalone TV pricing, and everything lands on a single bill. The TV packs stay flexible, so you can still add or drop a pack each month without affecting the broadband contract.
Bundle deals pair any TV pack with a BT Full Fibre plan, from entry-level fibre up to 900 Mbps. The fastest tiers ship the Wi-Fi 6 Smart Hub and come with a longer 24-month broadband term, so check the broadband contract length separately from the TV pack. For current speeds, prices and the in-contract guarantee, see our BT broadband page.
If sport is the reason you are switching, the standalone TNT Sports add-on on a 30-day rolling contract is often better value than a fixed Big Sport bundle, because you can pause it in the off-season. Not sure BT is the right home for your bundle? Start with the TV and broadband hub or our pick of the best TV packages in the UK.
Apps + devices
The EE TV box is the main hub, but the same subscription unlocks BT TV apps on mobile and smart TVs at no extra cost. Two simultaneous streams are included on every pack.
Stream live channels and recordings on iPhone and iPad over Wi-Fi or 5G. Up to 2 simultaneous streams per account.
Same feature set as iOS on Android phones and tablets, including downloads for offline viewing on supported packs.
Native BT TV apps on Samsung 2020+ and LG webOS 2021+ models. Useful if you do not want the EE TV box in the lounge.
Cast from the BT TV mobile app to any Chromecast-built-in TV or Apple AirPlay 2 receiver. No second box needed.
Free with every plan
Every BT TV box plays the full Freeview lineup at no extra cost, plus all the catch-up apps. You only pay for the premium packs (Sky drama, TNT Sports, Netflix) on top.
Free-to-air channels included
Plus 15 catch-up and on-demand apps at no extra cost: BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All 4, My5, UKTV Play, STV Player, BBC Sounds, YouTube, plus rent-and-buy stores from Amazon and Apple.
FAQ
No. BT TV runs over any internet connection with at least 25 Mbps, so you can take it on Sky, Virgin, Vodafone or any alt-net. The only thing you lose by not bundling is the multi-product discount, which typically saves £5 to £10 a month versus standalone BT TV pricing.
Most BT TV add-ons (TNT Sports, Netflix, kids packs) are on 30-day rolling contracts, so you can drop them at the end of any month. The exception is Entertainment and Big Entertainment, which are 24-month bundles. Cancel mid-contract on those and you pay an early-termination fee for the remaining months.
BT Sport became TNT Sports in July 2023 after the BT and Warner Bros. Discovery joint venture took control of the channels. The lineup is the same (Premier League, Champions League, Premiership Rugby, UFC, MotoGP) and existing customers were migrated automatically. Branding on the EE TV box still shows the BT logo, but channel names are now TNT Sports 1 to 4.
Yes. The EE TV box ships with a 1TB hard drive, enough for around 600 hours of HD recording. You can record up to four channels at once while watching a fifth, pause and rewind live TV, and set series links for full seasons. Recordings stay on the box for as long as you keep the subscription.
Yes on the EE TV UHD Smart Box. 4K content comes from Netflix UHD, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and selected Sky shows. Live channels are still mostly HD on UK platforms in 2026, so do not expect 4K on the Premier League or general entertainment broadcasts. You also need a 4K HDR TV and at least 25 Mbps of stable broadband.
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to buy. Bundling a BT TV pack with a BT Full Fibre broadband plan rolls everything onto one bill and usually unlocks a multi-product discount of £5 to £10 a month versus buying TV standalone. You can still add or drop TV packs each month without touching your broadband contract. See our BT broadband page for current speeds and prices.
The strongest value packs are Entertainment (Sky drama from £15 a month, no dish) and the Sport (TNT Sports) add-on at £30 a month on a flexible 30-day rolling contract, which is competitive with watching the same fixtures on Now or Sky. The best deal for any given household depends on whether you bundle broadband, so compare the full table above and check the live offer on bt.com before you buy.
