Iranian TV Channels Live — Broadcasting From Inside Iran

Persian-language television divides fairly cleanly by where it is made. A large part of what Farsi-speaking audiences watch is produced abroad, by diaspora networks in Los Angeles, London, Dubai and Europe. This page covers the other side: channels that originate inside Iran and broadcast from there.

The mix is different from what people expect. Alongside general entertainment there is a substantial cluster of film and cinema channels, music and youth channels, and specialist and lifestyle networks. These are the channels people inside Iran actually have on, and for diaspora viewers they offer something the abroad-produced networks cannot — the ordinary texture of domestic Iranian television rather than programming made about Iran from a distance.

A practical note on reliability: channels broadcasting from inside Iran are the least stable streams in this directory by a clear margin. Endpoints move, feeds go down, and some are not genuinely 24/7 despite appearing to be. Every channel here is probed automatically and its status shown, but there is always a lag between something changing and us catching it. If a channel will not load, try again later or pick another from the same category.

Every channel page in this directory labels where the signal comes from and which host is serving it, so you can always see the origin of what you are watching.
