We should say up front that we sell Vivimate, an IPTV subscription, which makes us one of the options below rather than a referee. This page ranks nobody and reports no measurements of our own. Brazilian prices come from each provider's own site, read on November 9, 2026; the Canadian route and the law were read on November 10, 2026. Because most of our readers live in the US and Canada, there's a section for Brazilians abroad too.
What a month of Brazilian TV costs, in reais
The first surprise when you line up the prices is how much each one depends on a condition. A pay TV figure can assume you also buy broadband, a streaming plan can leave out live channels, and a football channel's price can be a promotion.
So compare what each figure actually buys, not just its size. Sky Brasil's package list returned an error and its sign-up site refused our reader, and Globoplay's plan prices didn't load, so we show no number for them rather than one copied from elsewhere.
Pay TV packages: Claro tv+ and Sky
Claro tv+ delivers pay TV over the internet, through a Claro box or app. The R$139.90 price for more than 120 channels applies inside Claro Multi with Claro Fibra, so it assumes Claro is also your broadband provider. Claro says its box picks up Globo, Band, RedeTV, SBT, Cultura, Record and TV Brasil in HD as well. Claro tv+ Streamings, at R$79.90, is a different product with no live channels, offered to Claro fibre or mobile customers.
Sky Brasil sells satellite TV both post-paid and as Sky Pré-Pago, topped up as you go. Its terms set the trap worth reading before any price: loaned equipment ties you to 12 months, and walking away early with HD equipment costs up to R$1,299, scaled down by the months you've served.
The strength of both is that the seller holds the rights to what it shows. The weak points are the conditions: a bundle behind the price, a minimum stay, and football that often costs extra. Fibre also depends on your address, while satellite reaches further but needs a dish.
Football: check the match, not the channel list
Brazilian club football can be split across more than one broadcaster, so a channel name alone won't tell you whether your team's match is included. Premiere, Globo's football pay channel, sells itself as the widest coverage of national football and advertised a promotion from R$21.90 a month. We couldn't find a primary list of every Série A rights holder for 2026, because the CBF's match pages showed no broadcaster to our reader. Before you pay anyone, look up your club's next fixture on the broadcasters' own pages.
The open networks and TV Brasil
A digital antenna brings in the open networks free of charge, which is why many Brazilian homes pay for little or nothing. Most broadcasters also stream on their own sites and apps. TV Brasil, EBC's public channel, runs a live WebTV stream and keeps programmes on demand on EBC Play; we saw no price. Open TV covers news, novelas and some football well, but not every match of every club.
Brazilians in the US and Canada
Away from Brazil, the domestic apps aren't the intended route, and we don't give advice on getting around a broadcaster's location rules. Globo's international channel is. In Canada, Rogers describes TV Globo Internacional as the international version of Brazil's largest network, with Portuguese news, sport, telenovelas and children's shows.
In the US we couldn't confirm a current route from a primary page: Globoplay's site refused our reader and DISH's Portuguese page returned an error on November 10, 2026. Ask your own cable, satellite or streaming TV provider whether it carries TV Globo Internacional, and check Globo's international pages directly.
IPTV sellers, and what Brazilian law says
An IPTV seller hands you a login for a player app on your TV, stick or phone, usually with a long list of channels and a price in US dollars. IPTV itself is legal as a technology; the seller's rights decide whether what it sells is lawful. Brazil spells this out. Article 184, paragraph 3 of the Penal Code, which we read on November 10, 2026, covers offering works to the public by cable, fibre, satellite or similar systems, for profit and without the rights holder's express authorisation. The penalty is two to four years' imprisonment and a fine. Our page on whether IPTV is legal explains what to ask a seller.
- Ask about rights first. A seller that won't say who granted them is telling you something.
- Test the hours you watch. Search each channel during a trial when it's on air, regional ones included.
- Check the line. This site works to 10 Mbps for HD, 15 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K per stream; see the internet speed guide.
- Avoid long prepaid terms at first. A short plan limits what you lose if the service disappoints.
The checks before paying for an IPTV service go further, and the country-by-country overview compares Brazil with other markets.
Where Vivimate fits, and who should skip it
Vivimate is a prepaid IPTV subscription in US dollars, with no contract and no automatic renewal. We don't publish the rights agreements behind our channels, and we don't promise any Brazilian network, league or match here. Use the 24-hour free trial, which needs no card, to search for the channels you actually watch.
| Plan | One device | Two devices | Per month, one device |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Month | $19.99 | $31.98 | $19.99/mo |
| 3 Months | $29.99 | $47.98 | $10.00/mo |
| 6 Months | $39.99 | $63.98 | $6.67/mo |
| 12 Months + 2 FREE | $69.99 | $111.98 | $5.00/mo |
A first purchase has a 7-day refund window when a service problem you report can't be fixed; see the refund policy and the plans page. A card issued in reais converts the price, and your bank may add fees and tax on foreign purchases.
Skip us if you want one bill with documented rights, or every Brasileirão match from a known rights holder. A pay TV package or the broadcasters' own channels will serve you better.
Frequently asked questions
Which IPTV service is best in Brazil?
Nobody can name one honestly without testing services against each other, and this page reports no measurements of our own. We also sell Vivimate, so we're not a neutral judge. Choose the kind of TV first: a pay TV package, the open networks, a football channel or an IPTV seller. Then test the one you pick.
What does Claro tv+ cost?
On November 9, 2026 Claro listed Claro tv+, with more than 120 channels, at R$139.90 a month inside a Claro Multi bundle with Claro Fibra. Its streaming-only plan, with no live channels, was R$79.90 a month for Claro fibre or mobile customers.
What happens if I leave Sky Brasil early?
Sky's terms tie loaned equipment to a 12-month minimum stay. Leaving early with HD equipment means a fine of up to R$1,299, reduced in proportion to the months you have already served.
Can Brazilians in Canada watch Globo?
Rogers sells TV Globo Internacional in Canada as a standalone channel or in a theme pack, added to a Rogers Xfinity TV package, which Canadian packaging rules require first. Its page showed no price when we read it on November 10, 2026.
Is IPTV legal in Brazil?
The technology is; the seller's rights decide. Article 184, paragraph 3 of Brazil's Penal Code covers offering works to the public by cable, fibre, satellite or any similar system, for profit and without the rights holder's express authorisation, with two to four years' imprisonment and a fine.
