ITV Channels at a Glance
ITV’s family of channels each has a distinct focus — here’s where to find them and what they show today:
📌 Important Points
- The official guide at itv.com/watch/tv-guide is always the most accurate source — third-party listing sites can lag behind late schedule changes.
- Live sport frequently reshuffles the evening schedule, especially on ITV1 and ITV4 — recheck on match days.
- You need a free ITVX account and a UK TV licence to stream live channels.
- Most shows appear on ITVX catch-up shortly after broadcast, so missing the live slot is rarely a problem.
- Regional variations exist — ITV1 news and some programming differ across England, Wales (ITV Cymru) and other regions.

❓ Is the ITV TV guide free to use?
Yes. The guide is completely free; streaming live channels on ITVX needs only a free account (and a UK TV licence for live TV). ITVX Premium is optional and only removes ads.
