How to Install & Watch ITVX (ITV Hub) on FireStick [2024]

WATCH-ITVX-ON-FIRE-TV-STICK

This is a step-by-step guide on how to install ITV Hub on FireStick, Fire TV, and Fire TV Cube from abroad. 

ITV Hub (now known as ITVX) is a UK-based freemium video-on-demand and live TV streaming platform.

It gives you access to a huge library of original ITV content as well as TV shows and movies from other sources. If you are into British dramas, you literally cannot ask for a better platform.

While the ITV Hub’s free version features occasional ads, you may purchase a premium subscription for £5.99/month or £59.99/year for an ad-free experience.

Since ITV Hub creates content for UK residents, you will see the following message when accessing the platform outside of the UK:

“Due to our broadcast and content license, you can only watch ITVX in the UK.”

However, you can install a VPN on FireStick and connect it to the UK server to unblock the geo-restriction. ExpressVPN is our #1 choice.

    • You can sign up with ITV hub using your computer browser and visiting the ITV hub website. But if you’re outside of UK you will need to use Surfshark VPN as discussed in this guide and connect to its UK server.

  4. What is the login details? What does any name mean?

  5. ITV Hub has stopped working even with a VPN connected. I am using NordVPN but I have checked with friends who are using Express VPN and they are also blocked. Is there a solution?

    ITV login online asks for email and password. This asks for username and password. How do we get the/our username?

    Thanks

  10. Hi.

    I signed up for ITV through my browser, I have an account, however, none of my log in info works for this app.

    Online needs email and password. No probs.
    The app needs USERNAME and password. Not the same thing.

  11. Hi, I have the same issue with the username and password. I too have signed up using an email and password which do not work on the firestick. Please advise

  12. Any chance of a reply to Steve. ( Jan. 12 ) He is not the only one with this problem . The login procedure doesn’t work. Where do you get the USERNAME required to login to the app on the fire stick ?

  13. Followed the instructions and same as others unable to use log in details for my account

    I cannot however get live tv. I get …..whoops, what’s gone wrong message and cannot connect.
    Any suggestions please?
    Thanks

    • Hey John, then you need to connect to a different UK server. Try Manchester, London, Glasgow. It will definitely work.

  19. Can watch previously published content but attempting to watch live shows directs you to the app which you cannot download through the VPN, no way around this that I’ve found regardless of changing location. Only reason I purchased was to watch live.

    • Hey Rebecca, make sure you’re using Surfshark. It works fine for me. You cannot watch live programming but you can watch the shows?

  20. I’m using cyberghost vpn. After signing in to itv hub I get a message saying “Sorry! we have detected that you are outside of the UK…..” I have tried clearing data and cache but still unable to watch itv….!

  21. I get 403 Forbiden when trying to download

  22. I still get forbidden on the bit.ly link tried both HTTP and S but same result. Strangely I can down load on the laptop, just not on the Firestick. Browser download works, but then it’s an older version which prompts for an upgrade. Please let us know if and when you update the APK

  23. Is there going to be an update? tinyurl.com/itv986 is not working, I get “an unknown error has occurred. Check your URL and connection.”
