Time 4 TV is a popular IPTV website with a focus on US and UK content. The main content centers around news and sports, but you'll find other types of programming too. Our detailed guide below covers each channel in more detail.

Exceptional Sports Coverage
As a sports lover who is having a hard time paying for cable TV, you probably must?ve been sleeping on this website. And for a long period of time, I was too. But when I saw the number of sports channels offered on Time 4 TV, I realized I had to write this review on this website. On Time 4 TV, you can watch live streams of a variety of sports such as Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Cricket, Tennis, Motorsport, Snooker, Cycling, Rugby Union, Golf, Boxing and Volleyball. All those sports are covered on channels such as Sky Sports UK , BT Sports UK , ESPN UK , Ten Sports UK , Canal+, iTV UK , Box Nation UK , NFL Network UK , Neo Sports UK or WWE network UK . So if you're looking for a way to watch your favorite sport without having to pay for cable TV then you should definitely check out Time 4 TV!
Content Segregation
I love websites that keep their content organized. They play to their strengths by keeping things straightforward. This approach makes browsing experience much more seamless. For instance, if you want to watch Sports, there are no categories and no subcategories, you'll have to scroll through the baggage of channels. On the other hand, when you have different niches listed as categories and the channels as subcategories, finding the content becomes hassle-free.
Schedule Page
Despite not being a fan of the way the content has been placed on this page, I really appreciate the developer's efforts. There is an entire list of events that are going to take place on a particular day across different sports - Soccer, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Cricket, Tennis, Motorsport, Snooker, Cycling, Rugby Union, and Volleyball.
Decent Streaming
Time 4 TV has a large content library, but it's becoming popular because of its streaming capabilities. It offers a decent live streaming experience. Sure, there are some discrepancies such as mistimed clicks and redirection, but that's present in every free content aggregator website. The problem exists until you start streaming, once you've started then you won't face any issues.
Design
Do you like TV's design? It is much better than most of the free IPTV websites out there. The grey tones with black accents look cool. The only problem is that the channel thumbnails aren't of proper size. They are crammed in a small box and most logos are stretched. But that's not a big issue as in a weird way it kind of attracts your attention.
Header
In the content section, you'll find every channel listed alphabetically with a small description.
The header has a dark grey color different from the background which has light grey. In the header section, you'll find seven options- Home, Schedule, All Channels, Sports Channels, UK Channels, USA Channels, and News Channels. Most of these categories have subcategories with over dozens of channels (we?ll look at those into the content section). In the content section, you'll find every channel listed alphabetically with a small description.
Hero Section
The Hero Section on Time 4 TV is just what you would expect on an IPTV website. There's a video player that dominates the majority of the section, along with a chatbox on the right. The live stream has a sharing button that can be used to share the stream with your friends. Under the chatbox on the right, you can find a Facebook page which at the time of writing this review has 145 likes.
Body
This may be one of the few sections on this website that I do not like. It is filled with thumbnails of channels that are not well optimized. Though they initially attract your attention, you will have a hard time viewing them for long because their logos look forced and unnatural on the block. This makes the body section appear quite cluttered.
Footer
The footer on Time 4 TV has a black color with white and orange text. There are three main options in the footer - Troubleshooting & FAQs, Live TV Channels and Contact Us.
Inner Pages
I noticed that the inner pages on the website are identical to the homepage. There's a streaming player, live chat option, social media plug, followed by unoptimized thumbnails. The color combination is quite similar to what you saw on the homepage too.
Content
I think Time 4 TV's strength is its content. It hooks you with a vast content library that can provide you a sound TV viewing experience. If you love to watch sports, news or entertainment channels, you'll probably have a great time on this website.
Unlike most websites, where content is primarily sorted based on the countries, Time 4 TV begs to differ. Here, you'll have content diversified based upon the channels. Thus, you'll find the sports channels under one category, news channels under a separate category and entertainment-related channels under another.
There are many news channels on television. Sky, BBC, CBS, RT News, MSNBC, Fox, Bloomberg, C-Span, CNN, ABC, and NBC Live are some of the most popular ones.
Entertainment channels are available on Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Discovery, Disney, HBO, History Channel, FX Network, Investigation Discovery, TruTV, National Geographic and SyFy.
.
Some premium channels are HBO, Starz, Canal+, Telemundo, NFL Network, Baseball Channel, FXX and Bravo.
Sports channels: (Sky Sports, BT Sports, Canal Sports+, BeIN Sports, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN HD, ESPN Mobile, Gol TV, NFL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV, NEO Prime, Ten Sports, Golf Channel) other than Sky Sports. You'll find (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) sports channels.
Desktop/Mobile experience
I don't really like streaming IPTV websites through my phone. The streaming experience is frustrating 99% of the time because new tabs keep opening with every other click. On a desktop, it's easier to navigate and close the tabs, which makes it less frustrating. The streaming player and menus are filled with discrepancies not necessarily through ads but forced misclicks.
Nevertheless, once the stream started, I didn't face any issue on my Dell laptop. If you have a steady internet connection, I'm sure your streaming experience will be smooth too.
Plans & Pricing
It also has a wide range of TV channels.
Time 4 TV is a free online streaming website that doesn't require you to pay any fees - one time or subscription. It also has a wide range of television channels.
Suggestions I have for Time 4 TV
Though it's a good website, I feel that the user experience can be improved further by optimizing the thumbnails, improving the design of the stream player, and improving the layout of the schedule page.
Conclusion
If you want to watch news, sports, or entertainment content without having to spend $80-$100 every month, Time 4 TV is a website you should definitely check out. It has something for everyone.
