Vodafone has launched Vodafone TV, a new WiFi-powered streaming service that bundles hundreds of TV channels with apps like Netflix and HBO Max from £10 per month – roughly 33p a day. The platform is designed to rival major brands like Sky and follows the mobile network’s expansion into the home broadband market.
Each Vodafone TV subscription also includes access to more than 300 video games playable over a Cloud service without a console. The entry-level plan delivers more than 200 live channels and on-demand TV with Freely for £10 per month, while the £17 Vodafone TV Essential plan adds Netflix and HBO Max subscriptions – worth a combined £13.98 – at no extra cost.
Packages and Pricing
Mobile customers can combine Vodafone Entertainment with Vodafone TV Essential to create Vodafone TV Ultimate, which adds Disney+ or Prime Video to the package for a total of £25.50. All content is delivered through a plug-in entertainment hub that streams 4K content without a satellite dish or aerial.
The compact device has Freely built in, unlocking access to more than 70 live channels and thousands of hours of on-demand content from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, and more. Viewers can also stream more than 150 additional live TV channels, while apps like Disney+, Prime Video and DAZN are available with paid subscriptions.
Contract and Availability
Customers must commit to a 24-month contract to secure Vodafone TV, during which monthly prices will increase by £1.50 each April. This means the £10 subscription will cost £11.50 from April 2027 and £13 from April 2028.
Vodafone TV is available to Vodafone customers with a mobile or broadband plan, including existing customers and those signing up for a new contract. Until October 28, the brand is giving away Vodafone TV Essential free for 24 months when new customers take out the Pro Broadband package from £39, saving £408 over the contract term.
Competitive Market
Sky is also offering freebies with its own TV and broadband bundles, including the Essential TV and 900Mbps Full Fibre Gigafast Broadband. This £35 plan now delivers 12 times faster speeds (vs 75Mbps) at no extra cost. Elsewhere, Virgin Media’s £32.99 Entertainment bundle includes more than 200 channels and free Netflix, but slower 516Mbps broadband.
Announcing the launch, Vodafone’s Consumer Director, Rob Winterschladen, said it brings together customers’ entertainment while helping them cut unnecessary costs. He said: “Households are dealing with a TV set-up that’s become far too complicated – juggling multiple apps, long channel bundles and services they often don’t use. Our research shows that more than a third of people haven’t changed their TV provider in the last five years, with the perceived hassle of switching a big blocker and, as a result, they are still paying for features that should be standard.
“Vodafone TV gives customers a smarter alternative: one simple, intuitive experience that brings their favourite entertainment together and helps them cut out unnecessary costs. With Netflix and HBO Max included for £17 per month, it delivers exceptional value from day one.”
