Hindi IPTV Channels

Watch Hindi IPTV Channels Abroad Without Missing a Single Show

Many viewers living in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Australia quickly discover that popular Indian television channels are often restricted outside India. Daily serials, weekend reality shows, and live events suddenly become difficult to access through traditional broadcasting services.

That gap is exactly what modern IPTV platforms are designed to solve. With RisePrimeTV, audiences living overseas can continue watching Hindi TV channels from India without relying on regional cable providers or complicated satellite setups

From Daily Serials to Live News – Every Type of Hindi Channel in One Place

Hindi television stands out for its incredible diversity of programming. On any given day, viewers might switch between dramatic family serials, live news discussions, Bollywood film broadcasts, and major cricket tournaments — all within the same language ecosystem.

Many of these content categories are brought together through RisePrimeTV, which organizes Hindi channels across multiple viewing interests rather than limiting audiences to a single type of programming.
Entertainment channels continue to dominate evening schedules with long-running dramas and reality shows, while movie networks showcase Bollywood classics and new releases. News channels deliver round-the-clock coverage of national events, and sports broadcasters bring live cricket and other major competitions directly to Hindi-speaking audiences worldwide.

72 Hindi IPTV channels — Watch live Hindi TV, Bollywood movies, news and bhakti channels in the UK, USA and Canada

RisePrimeTV brings together 72 Hindi channels covering entertainment, news, Bollywood movies and music, devotional programming, sport and kids content. Watch live Hindi TV on the television, laptop or phone you already use, with catch-up available for recent serials and news. Together, these channels cover the main Hindi viewing interests — from daily serials and Bollywood films to news, cricket, devotional programming and children's entertainment. Every channel streams live to Firestick, Smart TV, Android, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and any browser.

Hindi entertainment channels

Hindi general entertainment is the most contested genre on Indian television, and it runs on two levels at once. Four subscription flagships — Star Plus, Colors, Sony and Zee TV — spend the most on original serials and reality formats and set the conversation. Underneath them sits a free-to-air tier that costs a fraction as much to run and often delivers bigger raw audiences. A Hindi package that carries only the first tier looks impressive and misses much of what people actually watch. Both tiers are here, along with the Doordarshan national service.

Flagship pay channels

Star Plus Live

On air since 1992 and the benchmark Hindi general entertainment channel for most of that time. Long-running family serials in the evening block, with the biggest weekend event formats. Now part of JioStar, which since November 2024 also owns its oldest rival.

Flagship GECHindi serialsJioStar
Colors TV Live

Launched in 2008 and the reality-format channel of the four — Bigg Boss and the stunt and dance franchises pull the whole weekend schedule around them. Carried internationally as Aapka Colors. Came into JioStar from the Viacom18 side of the merger.

GECRealityBigg Boss
Sony Entertainment Television Live

On air since 1995 and the one flagship built on appointment non-fiction rather than daily serials — the quiz, singing and crime franchises that run for months at a time and bring occasional viewers back to a fixed hour.

Zee TV Live

India's first privately owned Hindi satellite channel, launched in 1992, and still the anchor of the widest single-owner channel stack in the language. Serials, talent formats and the catalogue that feeds Zee's free-to-air and movie channels below.

Sony SAB Live

The comedy channel of the Hindi flagships, and the one with the most durable single title in the genre. Light family sitcoms rather than melodrama, which makes it the channel most households leave on with children in the room.

Star Bharat Live

Relaunched under this name in 2017, having been Star One and then Life OK. Mythological and historical drama alongside social serials — a distinctly different brief from Star Plus, aimed further into the Hindi-speaking heartland.

Zee's second Hindi general entertainment channel, launched in 2015. Comedy and lighter drama pitched between Zee TV's mainstream slate and the free-to-air tier, with a long-running mythological strand.

Dangal TV Live

Enterr10's free-to-air Hindi channel and regularly one of the most-watched channels in India across all languages and genres on BARC's all-India count. Built first on mythological and devotional reruns, later on its own low-cost originals. The single biggest gap in most Hindi lineups.

Dangal 2 Live

Enterr10's second free-to-air general entertainment channel, added in 2022 to run the network's back catalogue against its own flagship. Older shows from across the Hindi GEC market alongside repeats of the Dangal originals.

Star Utsav Live

The free-to-air arm of the Star stable, running the network's proven serials a season or more behind the pay channel. It has challenged Dangal for the top free-to-air Hindi slot, which is how closely fought this tier is.

Big Magic Live

A free-to-air Hindi channel built around comedy and light entertainment, and a regular presence in the free-to-air charts. Programming pitched squarely at the Hindi belt rather than at metro audiences.

Zee Anmol Live

Zee's free-to-air general entertainment channel, giving a second life to serials first shown on Zee TV and &TV. For households abroad it is often the easiest way to pick up a Hindi serial from the beginning rather than mid-run.

Why Star Plus and Colors Now Share One Network

On 14 November 2024 Reliance's Viacom18 merged its media assets into Disney's Star India to create JioStar, a joint venture valued at around $8.5 billion in which Reliance holds 63.16% and Disney 36.84%. The two biggest rival Hindi general entertainment channels of the past fifteen years — Star Plus and Colors — now sit inside one company, along with Star Bharat, Star Gold, Colors Cineplex, Star Utsav and the Star Sports network. The streaming platforms followed in February 2025, when JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar were combined as JioHotstar, and the sports channels in March 2025, when the Sports18 feeds were folded into Star Sports.

Nothing about the channels themselves changed — same feeds, same schedules, same names on screen. But older channel lists still describe these as competing networks, and package comparisons written before late 2024 are describing a market that no longer exists.

Why Both Hindi Entertainment Tiers Matter Unique to Hindi

Pay tier 7 channels
Where the money and the conversation are

The flagship channels commission original serials, run the big reality franchises and set what gets talked about. They are what a Hindi package is judged on and what most viewers ask for by name. They are also, on raw audience numbers, not the whole story.

Star PlusColors TVSonyZee TVSony SABStar Bharat&TV
Free-to-air tier 6 channels
Where the audience actually is

Free-to-air Hindi channels run repeats, mythology and cheaply made originals, and a free-to-air channel has often held the top spot in India across every language and genre. In no other Indian language does the free-to-air side compete on equal terms — Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam are all decided in the pay tier.

Dangal TVDangal 2Star UtsavBig MagicZee AnmolSony Pal

Alongside Star Plus, Colors, Sony and Zee TV, the free-to-air lineup carries serials, mythology, comedy and family programming that many viewers watch every day. RisePrimeTV includes both sides of the Hindi entertainment market, so you are not limited to the flagship networks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I watch Star Plus, Colors, Zee TV and Sony live outside India?

Yes. All four Hindi flagship general entertainment channels stream live through RisePrimeTV to the UK, USA and Canada, on Firestick, Smart TV, Android, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and in any browser. These are the four channels most households check for first, so they come first in the lineup rather than being buried in a list.

How many Hindi channels does RisePrimeTV carry?

There are 72 Hindi channels in the lineup, covering entertainment, news, movies, devotional programming, sport and kids content. All 72 are included in every Hindi IPTV subscription. Live channels are backed by catch-up, so a serial that airs in the Indian evening can be watched at a workable hour in Birmingham or New Jersey.

What time do Hindi serials air, and does that work abroad?

Hindi prime time is a block rather than a single hour — roughly 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM Indian Standard Time, with the marquee slots from around 9:00 PM. Because the India feeds are carried live, that block lands in the middle of the UK afternoon and in the US morning: 9:00 PM in Delhi is about 3:30 PM in London, 10:30 AM in New York and Toronto, and 7:30 AM on the US west coast. UK households can watch a good part of prime time live; North American households generally pick it up on catch-up in the evening. Those conversions are against standard time — during British Summer Time and US daylight saving, each moves an hour later.

Do you carry the free-to-air Hindi channels, or only the paid ones?

Both. This is worth checking on any Hindi package, because free-to-air Hindi channels are not a lesser tier the way they are in other languages — Dangal, Star Utsav, Big Magic, Zee Anmol, Sony Pal and Dangal 2 often out-rate the flagship channels on all-India audience counts, and they carry much of the mythological and devotional drama. A lineup that lists only Star Plus, Colors, Sony and Zee TV is showing you only part of the picture.

Which Hindi news channels are included?

The Hindi news selection covers national newsrooms, business and parliamentary coverage, along with state-focused services covering Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and the wider Hindi belt. Together, these provide broad national coverage alongside the regional reporting many families look for. The news channel listings separate national, business, parliamentary and state-focused reporting so you can find the type of Hindi news you want.

Are Hindi channels available in HD?

The flagship general entertainment channels, the main Bollywood movie channels and the Hindi sport feeds all broadcast dedicated HD feeds, so a Hindi package generally looks good on a large television. It is not universal: much of the free-to-air tier and a large part of the devotional tier are produced in standard definition only, which is a deliberate cost decision by those broadcasters rather than a platform limitation — where a broadcaster does not make an HD feed, no service can create one.

Can I watch Hindi channels on Firestick, Smart TV or my phone?

Yes — every channel on this page streams to Firestick, Smart TV, Android, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and any browser, so a household can have the serials on in the living room, cricket in another room and a children's channel on a tablet without a second subscription.

Is there cricket with Hindi commentary?

Yes, and Hindi is the language this was built for — the Hindi commentary feeds came first and remain the largest by audience, with full commentary teams rather than a dubbed audio track. Broadcast rights to specific tournaments are re-tendered every few years and move between networks, so the current programme guide is always the reliable source for a given fixture. For commentary in English, browse the English IPTV channels.

Who actually owns Hindi television

Most channels in the Hindi lineup belong to one of seven major broadcaster or network groups, and after the 2024 merger the landscape looks very different from older channel lists.

Where Hindi viewers stream from

Hindi is the widest-spoken Indian language abroad and, unlike Telugu or Malayalam, the audience is not concentrated in a short list of metros — it is present in essentially every South Asian community across the three countries, which is why this package is built for range rather than for one region. In Birmingham, Southall and Brampton, plenty of those households switch between Hindi serials and Punjabi TV channels through the same evening.

Hindi news channels live

Hindi news is the most crowded genre in Indian television — more twenty-four-hour channels compete in Hindi than in any other language, and the market has three distinct layers rather than one. National newsrooms in Delhi and Noida broadcast to the entire Hindi-speaking market. A business tier covers markets, policy and personal finance in Hindi rather than English. And a state tier reports district by district across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan — the layer that matters most to families abroad, because national bulletins rarely reach the town anyone is actually from. All three are carried here.

National newsrooms

Aaj Tak Live

The India Today Group's Hindi channel and, by most measures, the most-watched Hindi news channel in the country. Rolling bulletins, election coverage and the studio debate formats that define the genre.

National bulletins cover a state at election time; a state desk covers the district all year. If the town anyone in the household is actually from sits in one of these states, this is the layer that reaches it.

Hindi movie and music channels

Bollywood on television is not a film library with a schedule bolted on — it is a genre with its own economics. Hindi movie channels bid for satellite rights, build a whole week around a single world television premiere, and fill the rest of the schedule from catalogues going back fifty years. Two things have changed the tier recently: dubbed South Indian blockbusters now draw audiences on Hindi movie channels that rival the Bollywood titles, and free-to-air movie channels have become the most-watched part of the genre. Alongside them sit the Hindi music channels, which are effectively Bollywood promotion in continuous rotation and the reason a film's songs are familiar weeks before anyone sees it.

The longest-running Hindi movie channel and the anchor of the largest single-owner film catalogue in the language. Premieres, evergreen titles and the festival blocks that draw the biggest movie-channel audiences of the year.

What a Hindi movie channel week is actually made of Indicative weighting

The evergreen catalogueMost of the schedule

Titles the channel already owns, cycled through daytime and late night. Fifty years of Hindi cinema sits in these catalogues, which is why a Hindi movie channel can fill twenty-four hours a day without buying anything new.

Dubbed South Indian blockbustersA large and growing block

Telugu, Tamil and Kannada action films dubbed into Hindi. Once filler, now a genuine draw — a dubbed premiere on a Hindi movie channel can out-rate a Bollywood one. If you want these films in the original language, the Telugu IPTV channels page carries them, while the other southern languages are available through the Indian IPTV channels hub.

World television premieresThe week's event

A film's first television broadcast after its theatrical and streaming windows. Small in hours, enormous in audience — the premiere slot is what the channel promotes all week and what most of the genre's advertising is sold against.

Festival and themed blocksSeasonal

Diwali, Eid, Independence Day and the long holiday weekends, when every movie channel reschedules around a themed run. These weeks reliably produce the highest movie-channel figures of the year.

The bars above show relative weighting across a typical week, not measured percentages — the mix moves with what each channel has bought and what season it is. The reason it is worth knowing: a Hindi movie package is not really bought for one film. It is bought for the catalogue, and the catalogue is why these channels get left on.

Hindi devotional and bhakti channels

Twenty-four-hour devotional television was invented in Hindi. Before 2000 there was no such thing anywhere in India — spiritual programming sat in early-morning and weekend slots on general entertainment channels. Aastha and Sanskar launched within months of each other that year, proved the format worked, and a whole genre followed. It is now an important part of Hindi television, particularly for households looking for devotional programming, live religious events, bhajan, katha and meditation. It does not depend on following a serial or knowing who is in the news, which makes it easy for any member of the household to switch on.

The founding channels

Aastha TV Live

Launched in November 2000 and one of the two channels that created the genre. Discourse, ceremony, live religious events and yoga programming, with an international feed running since 2005 — which is why it is already familiar to most diaspora households.

Founding channelDiscourseYoga
Sanskar TV Live

On air since June 2000 from Noida, and the other founder of the genre. Weighted towards devotion and ritual rather than philosophy, with a long-running schedule of katha, satsang and festival broadcasts. Distributed in the UK, Europe, the USA and Nepal.

Founding channelKatha & satsang
Aastha Bhajan Live

Aastha's music channel, launched in 2005. Bhajan and kirtan in continuous rotation rather than a discourse schedule — the devotional equivalent of a music channel, and the one most often left running through the day.

BhajanContinuous rotation

Discourse, satsang and bhajan

Sadhna TV Live

DiscourseBhajan
Shubh TV Live

A sister channel to Sanskar from the same Noida group. Devotional music, discourse and festival programming, scheduled to complement rather than duplicate the flagship channel.

Peace of Mind Live

The Brahma Kumaris channel — Raja Yoga meditation, commentary and instruction rather than ritual. Closer to a wellbeing and meditation channel than a devotional one, and often the one watched by family members who do not watch the rest of this tier.

What is actually on a Hindi devotional channel

Pravachan & katha

The largest share of the tier by hours. Scriptural discourse — Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam — delivered as series that run for weeks, so an episode can be picked up mid-run without feeling lost.

Aastha Bhajan · Shubh TV · Hare Krishna TV
Live aarti & darshan

Daily worship carried live from temples, along with ceremonial broadcasts. This is the part of the schedule most tied to the Indian clock — morning aarti in India is the previous evening in North America, so catch-up is especially useful for North American viewers.

Ishwar TV · Sanskar · Hare Krishna TV

Festival broadcasts

Navratri, Shivratri, Janmashtami, Ram Navami, Paryushan and the Kumbh cycle. Every channel in this tier reschedules around the festival calendar, and these are its highest-viewership days of the year — the ones diaspora households most want to watch as they happen.

Across the devotional lineup
Beyond one tradition

Hindi is the only Indian language whose devotional tier is genuinely multi-faith on television. Alongside the Sanatan channels sit Vaishnav, Jain and meditation-school broadcasters, each with its own calendar and its own format.

Jinvani Channel · Hare Krishna TV · Peace of Mind

Exact broadcast times are not listed here, because devotional schedules follow the Hindu, Jain and regional festival calendars rather than a fixed grid, and any hard time printed would be wrong within weeks. The current programme guide is the reliable source.

Hindi sports, kids and knowledge channels

Explore Hindi sports, kids and knowledge channels, from live Hindi commentary and children's entertainment to factual programming for the whole family. Hindi commentary is not an add-on to Indian sport broadcasting — it is the largest feed by audience, with full commentary teams rather than a dubbed English track, and the model every other language copied afterwards. Around it sit the Hindi children's channels, where a generation of dubbed animation now runs alongside home-made shows, and the Hindi feeds of the documentary networks, which are the only part of a package that gets watched by everyone in the room at once.

Sport with Hindi commentary

Star Sports 1 Hindi Live

The primary Hindi cricket feed and the largest single sports audience in India in any language. Full Hindi commentary panels — former international players calling the match in Hindi, not a translated English feed.

CricketHindi commentaryHD feed
Star Sports 2 Hindi Live

Formerly Sports18 1, folded into the Star Sports network on 15 March 2025 after the JioStar merger. A second Hindi feed is what makes concurrent fixtures possible — two matches the same day, both in Hindi, rather than one falling back to English.

Two Hindi feeds rather than one, so concurrent fixtures do not force anyone back to an English commentary track, plus the non-cricket calendar the rest of the year.

  • Star Sports 1 Hindi
  • Star Sports 2 Hindi
  • Star Sports Khel
  • Sony Sports Ten 3
Everyone at once

The channels that get watched together rather than in shifts — the documentary feeds in Hindi, and the sport that turns the living room into one room again.

  • Discovery Channel Hindi
  • Sony BBC Earth
  • History TV18
  • DD Sports

No tournament, league or fixture is listed as included. Sport rights in India are re-tendered every few years and move between broadcasters — a channel carrying a competition this season may not next season. What is fixed is that these are the Hindi-commentary sport feeds; what they are showing in a given week is answered by the current programme guide. For cricket and other sport called in English and other languages, browse sports channels across the full lineup.

Your Hindi World, Anywhere

Why Thousands of Viewers Prefer IPTV for Hindi Channels

Traditional options for watching Indian television overseas often come with limitations. Satellite packages can be expensive and restricted to specific regions, while individual streaming apps usually provide only a small selection of content rather than the full range of Hindi television channels.

IPTV has quickly become the preferred alternative because it combines live television with the flexibility of internet streaming. Instead of juggling multiple platforms, viewers can access a wide collection of Hindi entertainment, news, sports, and movie channels through one service.
