LG Channels lands in the UAE so you can stop paying for TV now

LG Channels is now live in the UAE, offering free live TV, movies and Arabic-English content on all LG Smart TVs. Here’s what’s new and how it works.

LG Channels launches in UAE with free streaming on LG TVs

LG has switched on LG Channels in the UAE, giving every LG Smart TV owner instant access to free live TV, movies and on-demand programming. No logins. No subscription. No sneaky fees. Just switch on your TV, hit the Home button, open LG Channels and start watching.

The rollout starts in the UAE and will expand across the Middle East soon, adding another piece to LG’s growing entertainment ecosystem.

Part of LG’s global FAST expansion spanning 33 countries and 4,000+ channels

A free entertainment hub built into every LG Smart TV

LG Channels is now preloaded on all LG Smart TVs in the UAE. It works straight from the Home screen with zero setup.

No subscription or payment
Live channels, movies and FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV)
24/7 content across major genres

You just turn on the TV, open the LG Channels app and scroll. That’s it. This ties into LG’s push to keep more content built directly into webOS, something we’ve seen across its TV lineup and covered before on Tbreak in our features on smart TV platforms and streaming apps.

Arabic-first localisation for UAE viewers

LG didn’t just copy-paste its global app. The UAE rollout includes proper localisation and bilingual support.

Right-to-left menus
Arabic and English interface and content
Region-specific programming

The interface feels familiar to users in the region, and the language toggle means everyone at home can use it comfortably. It’s close to how other app updates on LG’s webOS have been tuned for local audiences, which we often discuss in our smart TV buying guides on Tbreak.

Channels you actually know (and some exclusives)

The service includes a decent mix of recognisable global names and regional favourites.

More channels are on the way as the regional rollout expands. It’s a strong start and covers the basics: news, sports, entertainment, movies, kids, documentary and lifestyle.

First showcased at K-Expo in Dubai

LG showed the UAE-ready version of LG Channels earlier at K-Expo in Global Village.

Fully localised webOS interface
Hands-on demos
Free streaming walkthrough
Large crowd response

The booth wasn’t just a promo stunt — it was LG testing engagement and gathering feedback from UAE users before the full launch.

Part of a much bigger global FAST network

This UAE launch slots into LG’s global plan to push free content across more regions.

LG Channels now spans 33 countries
Over 4,000 channels worldwide
Expanding throughout the Middle East next

LG’s building an entertainment ecosystem that keeps users inside webOS instead of jumping between apps. And free TV is a strong incentive.
