Can You Watch IPTV on PS5? Here's How (2026)
Sony never designed the PS5 as a streaming box, so there's no dedicated IPTV app in its store. Still, gamers who want live TV on the same screen have a couple of realistic options — a web-based player through the PS5's built-in browser, or screen sharing from another device.
1Using the PS5 Web Browser
The PS5 has a hidden web browser accessible through the "Media" search bar or the help pop-up. Some Xtream Codes panels offer a browser-based web player URL — enter it into the PS5 browser to stream directly without installing anything.
2Screen Sharing from a Phone or PC
If your Xtream provider doesn't offer a web player, mirror your IPTV app from a phone or laptop to your TV using the same HDMI input, then simply switch inputs when you want to watch. It's not seamless, but it's reliable.
Final Thoughts
While the PS5 wasn't designed for it, Streamtly's web player and casting support mean gamers don't have to give up live TV entirely on their console setup.
