We should say up front that we sell Vivimate, an IPTV subscription, which makes us one of the options below and a poor judge of it. So this page ranks nothing, reports no measurements of our own and names no other IPTV brand. Swedish prices come from each company's own website, in kronor, read on November 9, 2026. SVT's rules for viewers abroad were read on November 10, 2026.
Start with what you already pay: the public service fee
Sweden doesn't sell SVT as a subscription. Since 2019 it has been funded by the public service fee, which Skatteverket collects with income tax from everyone aged 18 or over who is taxable in Sweden, whether or not they own a TV. In 2026 it is at most SEK 1,184 a year per person, or 1% of taxable income for anyone earning below SEK 118,428. Because it is charged per person rather than per home, two working adults pay it twice.
That money already buys you SVT Play, which streams SVT's programmes with nothing further to pay. Whatever else you choose sits on top of it, so it makes sense to ask first what SVT leaves out.
Telia, Tele2 and Allente: the two-year view
The packages from the big telecom companies bundle channels with streaming apps, and their headline prices are mostly introductory. Telia listed Tv Mini with 19 channels at 149 kr a month for 6 months, then 249 kr; Tv Mellan with 36 channels at 299 kr, ordinarily 399 kr; and Tv Mycket with 57 channels at 549 kr, all without a binding period. Tele2 listed Tv Bas with 21 channels at 199 kr a month for 12 months, then 299 kr, and a sport package with 33 channels plus Viaplay Total, TV4 Play Sport and Disney+ at 599 kr for 12 months, then 949 kr, both on a 12-month binding. Adding up 24 months shows what the introductory prices hide:
Allente delivers TV by dish, broadband, fibre or stream. Its new-customer offer carries a 12-month binding period and 30 days' notice, and its home page showed no package prices, so it has no bar above. Check each Telia and Tele2 page again before ordering; introductory offers change often.
The Allsvenskan belongs to TV4 and Telia until 2031
Football followers have the simplest decision. Svensk Elitfotboll and TV4 both announced that TV4 and Telia hold exclusive live rights to every Allsvenskan and Superettan match for six seasons, 2026 to 2031, with all matches on TV4 Play. Tele2's sport package includes TV4 Play Sport too. TV4 Play's own package prices didn't load when read, so check them there. For the Premier League seen from North America, our page on which channel has the Premier League in the US and Canada lists who holds it.
IPTV subscription sellers: low price, open question on rights
An IPTV seller gives you a login for a player app on your TV, stick or phone. Channel lists are long, prices are low, and billing is often in US dollars. IPTV is a legal technology; what decides whether a particular seller is lawful is the rights it holds for what it streams. Our page on whether IPTV is legal explains what to ask a seller, and the checklist for choosing an IPTV service covers the tests worth running.
- Search before you pay: look up each channel you watch, at the time it airs, during a trial.
- Check the connection: this site works to 10 Mbps for HD, 15 Mbps for Full HD and 25 Mbps for 4K per stream; the internet speed guide shows how to measure.
- Be wary of: sellers promising every Swedish match for a few dollars, and long plans with no way to test first.
Which route fits your home
Watching Swedish TV from the US or Canada
Plenty of our readers are Swedes, or Swedish families, living in North America. SVT's help page, read on November 10, 2026, says SVT Play is available all over the world, but that some programmes are limited to Sweden by copyright, and that the channels on SVT Play can only be watched in Sweden. On the website, a button labelled "Kan ses utomlands" on the programmes page filters to what works abroad; the phone and tablet apps load only that content automatically. SVT gives the reason on its rights page: productions sell their rights country by country, and sports rights are usually limited to Sweden. Expect international sport and bought-in drama to be missing.
Where Vivimate fits
Vivimate is an IPTV subscription seller: prepaid, 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 Swedish channel, league or event. The 24-hour free trial needs no card, so search the guide for your own channels first. These are our plans:
| 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 plan has a 7-day refund window when a service problem you report can't be fixed, as our refund policy explains. Skip us if the Allsvenskan is why you watch, you need documented rights, or SVT Play already covers most of your evenings.
Frequently asked questions
Which IPTV service is best in Sweden?
We can't name one honestly. We sell Vivimate and haven't compared services side by side, so any winner we picked would be worthless to you. Work out what your home already has, what it still misses, and test the option that fills the gap before paying for a long term.
Who shows the Allsvenskan from 2026?
TV4 and Telia. Svensk Elitfotboll gave them exclusive live rights to every Allsvenskan and Superettan match for the 2026 to 2031 seasons, and all matches are on TV4 Play. TV4 Play's package prices didn't load when the page was read, so check them on its site.
Do I still pay for SVT if I only use IPTV?
Yes, if you're 18 or older and taxable in Sweden. The public service fee is collected with income tax whether or not you own a TV. For 2026 it is at most SEK 1,184 a year per person, or 1% of taxable income for anyone earning below SEK 118,428.
Can I watch SVT Play from the US or Canada?
Partly. SVT says SVT Play is available worldwide but some programmes are limited to Sweden, and its live channels can only be watched in Sweden. On the website, the Kan ses utomlands button shows what you can watch abroad; the apps show only that content automatically.
Does Vivimate carry Swedish channels?
We don't promise any Swedish channel, league or event. Search the guide during the 24-hour free trial for each channel you watch, at the hour it airs, and judge from what you find.
