BBC iPlayer is a streaming service that caters exclusively to those within the United Kingdom. Just like anyone, even UK residents living or visiting Malta are restricted from accessing BBC iPlayer. Streaming services can easily detect IP addresses and sometimes if people are trying to use VPNs. The BBC blocks IPs from Malta due to content licensing restrictions and regional limitations.
Watch on the big screen by setting up BritVPN on your Smart TV or casting from Chrome.
Stream on the go with our dedicated iOS app or Chrome extension for macOS.
Available on Android, iOS, Chrome, and more platforms. Install the app or extension on your preferred device.
This error occurs when the BBC detects a VPN or proxy. BritVPN uses residential IPs to appear as a genuine UK viewer, preventing this error.

BritVPN is the best route to the full BBC iPlayer on-demand library, but viewers in Malta have some unique alternatives.
Malta has a unique relationship with British TV. Local providers like GO and Melita often include BBC Entertainment and BBC World News in their packages. However, these are international versions of the channels and do not offer the full domestic BBC One schedule or iPlayer catch-up.
It is possible to receive UK satellite signals (Freesat) in Malta, but due to the distance, you need a very large dish (often 2-3 meters or more) to get a stable signal. This is expensive to install and maintain.
IPTV is popular in Malta for accessing UK TV. However, these services are often unlicensed, can be unreliable during big events (like football matches), and offer lower video quality than a direct stream.
The BBC iPlayer streaming service is free, but you'll need a special tool to access it in Malta. Download the Beebs (BritVPN) Chrome Extension as seen in this guide and install it on your device. Once you’re signed up and the connection is established, go to the iPlayer website and start watching.
The best source for BBC UK and World News is by tuning in to the live stream found on BBC iPlayer. BritVPN is recommended since it connects you to servers in the UK and is hassle free.
Yes. Using a service like BritVPN to access content you are entitled to view is legal. However, you should ensure you comply with the BBC's terms of service.
The BBC Terms of Use state that you need a TV licence to watch programmes on iPlayer. When you register, you will be asked if you have one.
