Arabic IPTV in Australia: Arabic Channels, Live and in 4K

Arabic TV in Australia, without a satellite dish

For Arabic-speaking families in Australia, home TV is part of daily life: the evening news from the region, the series everyone talks about during Ramadan, children’s programmes in Arabic and live football. For years the main options were a large satellite dish or a collection of separate apps. Arabic IPTV replaces both with one subscription that streams over your normal broadband, in one app, on the TV you already own.

Arabic channels are included in every Premium 4K Server plan at no extra cost. They sit alongside 35,000+ Australian, New Zealand, UK, Indian and international channels, so one subscription covers everyone — the kids watching cartoons, someone following the cricket and grandparents watching their favourite series.

Channels from across the Arab world

The Arabic line-up spans the whole region, so you can watch television from the country you call home:

• The Gulf: channels from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, including news, Khaleeji drama, entertainment and sport.
• Egypt: one of the Arab world’s biggest television industries, with drama, comedy, talk shows, classic films and news.
• The Levant: channels from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, known for drama series, current affairs and entertainment.
• Iraq: news, entertainment and cultural channels.
• North Africa: channels from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, including Maghrebi drama and news.
• Pan-Arab channels: 24-hour news, children’s networks, movie channels, music and religious channels watched across the region.

If a particular country or channel type matters to you, ask us on WhatsApp before you order and we’ll confirm what’s included.

What you can watch

News, live

Arabic news channels broadcast around the clock, so you can follow events in the region as they happen rather than catching up on social media hours later.

Drama and series

From Gulf family dramas to Egyptian comedies and Levantine thrillers, Arabic series are a big reason families subscribe. Ramadan is the high point of the year, when new series premiere every night.

Children’s channels

Cartoons and educational programmes in Arabic help children growing up in Australia keep their language while they’re entertained — something many parents tell us is just as important as the news.

Religious programming

Quran recitation, lectures and live coverage of religious occasions are available on dedicated channels, particularly valued during Ramadan and Eid.

Sport

Arabic sport channels cover the region’s football leagues and major international tournaments, and they’re in the same app as Australian and international sport.

Movies and series on demand

The on-demand library of 140,000+ titles includes Arabic films and series, from Egyptian classics to recent releases, ready to watch whenever suits.

Ramadan, live news and the time difference

Eastern Australia is 7 to 8 hours ahead of the Gulf, and Western Australia is 5 hours ahead. That means evening programmes in the Arab world often air in the early hours here. This is how common broadcast times in Riyadh, Kuwait, Doha and Baghdad (all UTC+3) translate:

The UAE and Oman are one hour further ahead (UTC+4), so their shows air an hour earlier in Australian time. Egypt and Lebanon change their clocks during the year, so check the on-screen guide, which converts everything to your local time automatically. With catch-up on supported channels, you can watch last night’s episode after iftar or the next evening instead of setting an alarm. Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier each year, and in the coming years it falls during Australian summer and autumn.

Watch on any device

Arabic IPTV works on Smart TVs, Android TV boxes, streaming sticks, MAG boxes, phones, tablets and computers. Most families watch on the main TV with a box or Smart TV app. If you’re choosing hardware, our Arabic box TV guide explains what to buy, and our step-by-step guide to Arabic channels on Smart TV covers TVs without a box.

One subscription for the whole family

Choose how many devices can watch at the same time, from 1 to 5. Parents can watch the news in the lounge while the children watch Arabic cartoons in their room and grandparents enjoy a series in the granny flat, all on one plan. Each extra device costs much less than a separate subscription — 12 months for 3 devices is US$214, saving US$53.
