What is it?

Free-TV/IPTV is an M3U playlist that collects free TV channels from around the world. Channels are grouped by country and region, covering over-the-air broadcasts that are free to receive locally as well as free streaming sources on the Internet such as Plex TV, Pluto TV, Roku TV, Samsung TV Plus and YouTube live channels.

The project keeps its list deliberately small: each channel should work well, appear in HD where possible, and have only one URL. Paid subscription channels, adult content, and channels tied to a religion or political party are excluded. The playlist is generated by a Python script from Markdown files, one per country.

To use it, point any IPTV player at the raw playlist URL on GitHub. Contributions are made through pull requests that edit the country Markdown files rather than the generated playlist.
