How to Install IPTV on Firestick — Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

Amazon Firestick is the most popular device for watching IPTV in the UK. This guide shows you exactly how to install IPTV on your Firestick in under 5 minutes using IPTV Smarters Pro — the best free IPTV player for Firestick in 2026.

What You Need Before Starting

• An Amazon Firestick (any model — Lite, 4K, 4K Max, or Fire TV Cube)
• A stable internet connection (minimum 25 Mbps recommended for HD/4K)
• Your IPTV UK subscription credentials (username, password, and server URL)

Step 1: Enable Apps from Unknown Sources

Because IPTV apps like Smarters Pro aren't available on the official Amazon App Store, you need to enable sideloading:

1. From the Firestick Home screen, go to Settings (gear icon).
2. Select My Fire TV.
3. Select Developer Options. (If you don't see this, go to About → click your Fire TV name 7 times rapidly to unlock Developer Mode.)
4. Turn ON Apps from Unknown Sources.
5. Confirm by clicking Turn On.

Step 2: Install the Downloader App

The Downloader app lets you browse the web and install APK files directly on your Firestick:

1. Go back to the Firestick Home screen.
2. Click the Search (magnifying glass) icon.
3. Type "Downloader".
4. Select the app with the orange icon by AFTVnews.
5. Click Download / Get.

Step 3: Install IPTV Smarters Pro

1. Open the Downloader app.
2. Click Allow if prompted for permissions.
3. In the URL box, enter the APK download code provided by your IPTV provider (codes change frequently — verify before entering).
4. Click Go. The APK will download.
5. When prompted, click Install.
6. After installation, click Done (not Open — we'll open it from the home screen).

Step 4: Set Up Your IPTV UK Subscription

1. Open IPTV Smarters Pro from your Firestick apps.
2. Accept the Terms of Use.
3. Select "Login with Xtream Codes API" — this is the best method.
4. Enter your IPTV UK credentials:
   • Any Name: Type "IPTV UK"
   • Username: From your welcome email
   • Password: From your welcome email
   • URL: Server URL from your welcome email
5. Click Add User.
6. Wait for channels to load — you're ready to stream!

Alternative: Install TiviMate on Firestick

TiviMate is another excellent IPTV player with a modern interface and powerful EPG guide. The free version works great, but TiviMate Premium (£4.99/year) adds recording, catch-up, and multiple playlist support.

Install TiviMate the same way — use the Downloader app to sideload the APK, then add your IPTV UK M3U playlist URL or Xtream Codes credentials.
