World news live: the official news streams on YouTube

Many international news channels stream live on their own YouTube channels, free and around the clock. Others don't, or only for big events, or not in every country. This list was checked on October 26, 2026.

Live, free and from the broadcaster

These channels publish a live stream on their official YouTube channel. Most run 24 hours a day; some fill quiet hours with replays.

Country limits

Broadcasters decide where their streams can be watched. BBC News has streamed 24/7 on YouTube since October 15, 2026, but only in the US, the UK and a few other countries (Australia, Kenya, Nigeria and Poland had it earlier). Euronews has been restricted in Russia since 2022. If a stream says it isn't available in your country, that is the broadcaster's choice, and apps that use the official player can't change it.

Watch several at once

Open the World news in English wall in Skywall to put Al Jazeera English, DW, France 24, Euronews, NHK World-Japan, TRT World and ABC Australia side by side, and tap the one you want to hear. There are also walls for news in Spanish and Arabic news, and every channel by country or as live news channels.

On a Mac or PC you can also open each stream in its own browser window; see watching several streams on a Mac.

Other free options

Free ad-supported TV services such as Pluto TV and The Roku Channel also carry news channels, in their own apps. Their lineups differ by country.
