If you’re trying to watch BBC News live online from a different country outside the UK, you may need to use a workaround to bypass the channel’s location blocks.

More Facts About Watching BBC News Live Online (Even Outside the UK)

This is the free BBC News live online stream for UK residents. Unfortunately, BBC News is only free to access if you live in the UK–OR if you have a VPN for the BBC iPlayer. If you’re in the UK, the image above will take you directly to the BBC iPlayer. If you reside outside the UK, then a BBC iPlayer VPN will get you total access to BBC iPlayer. Even better, this VPN for BBC iPlayer will also serve as a complete UK TV VPN so you’ll get access to all the other great UK TV channels as well. Also, here’s the direct link to BBC Parliament if you want to watch those proceedings.
