Parrot IPTV channels and live TV categories

Explore live TV categories for North America and around the world. Parrot IPTV advertises 37,000+ live channels across news, entertainment, sports, kids and international programming.

Live channel overview

Live channels are organised into categories by country, language and genre, so you can jump straight to the programming you want instead of scrolling through one long list. Most players also let you build a favorites list and hide categories you never use.

For viewers in the USA and Canada, the most-requested categories are national networks, news, sports and French-language Canadian programming. Multilingual households often add categories from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and Latin America.
