About ITV

ITV is a free-to-air commercial broadcaster in the United Kingdom and a long-standing rights-holder for international football. It airs FA Cup matches in rotation with the BBC, England national-team qualifiers and friendlies, and recent editions of the UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup. Live football appears on ITV1 and ITV4, with streaming through ITVX.

There is no subscription for the standard broadcast in the UK. Streaming on ITVX is free with a UK account; the service enforces geographic restrictions, and live football streams are blocked outside the United Kingdom. A paid tier called ITVX Premium removes advertising on the standard catalogue but does not extend live football availability outside the UK.
