About free science streaming

This page lists 15 live science channels that broadcast free-to-air. Science and Technology. Each stream is health-checked every six hours for uptime, latency and quality, and anything that stops responding is removed from the list automatically.

The largest science line-ups come from United States (3), Ukraine (2), Russia (1), but you can filter by any of the 10+ countries represented.

Playback runs on HTML5 video with adaptive bitrate, so the picture scales to whatever your connection can carry. There is no app, no plugin and no sign-up — the player opens and plays.

For the encrypted premium science networks that free lists can never include, GuardianTV offers 45,000+ channels at 99.9% uptime, free to try for 12 hours.

Free science channels — FAQ

How do I watch science channels for free?

Pick any channel on this page and press play. GuardianTV Live streams 15 free-to-air science channels directly in your browser over HLS — there is no app to install, no account to create and nothing to pay.

How many free science channels are there?

GuardianTV Live currently carries 15 verified live science channels from 10+ countries. The list is rebuilt every six hours, so dead streams drop off automatically and new ones appear as broadcasters publish them.

Do these science channels work on mobile?

Yes. Playback uses native HLS on iPhone, iPad and Safari and hls.js on Android, Chrome, Edge and Firefox, so every science channel here plays on a phone browser without an app.

Why are premium science channels missing?

Subscription science networks are encrypted and never published as free-to-air streams, so no free list can carry them legitimately. GuardianTV's paid service includes them alongside 45,000+ channels in total, with a free 12-hour trial.
