SVT Play

A Second Screen for Swedish Television, Wherever You Roam

Picture this: you’re halfway through a gripping episode of Mästarnas Mästare on your living room TV, but your train is leaving in ten minutes. With SVT Play, you don’t have to pause your life—you simply pick up your phone, open the app, and continue watching exactly where you left off, right from the platform. This isn’t just a streaming app; it’s your personal, portable window into the full breadth of Sveriges Television’s programming, designed to fit seamlessly into your daily commute, lunch break, or quiet evening at home.

The app serves as a complete on-demand streaming portal, giving you instant access to SVT’s vast library of shows, documentaries, news, and live events. You are not limited to a single channel; instead, you can browse through multiple live channels simultaneously, switching between SVT1, SVT2, SVT Barn, and Kunskapskanalen with a simple tap. The interface is built for speed and clarity, allowing you to search by program name, genre, or even specific episodes. Every playback session remembers your progress, so whether you’re deep into a series or just catching the tail end of a live broadcast, you never lose your place.

Key Capabilities at Your Fingertips

• Live TV and Catch-Up Replay: Watch current live broadcasts from all SVT channels, or scroll back through the schedule to replay programs that aired earlier today or yesterday.
• Cross-Device Casting: Effortlessly stream any video from your phone or tablet to a larger screen using Chromecast, turning your mobile device into a remote control for your TV.
• Personalized Watch History: The app automatically tracks where you stopped in every program, so you can resume a movie or series episode instantly across different sessions.
• Advanced Search and Browse: Filter content by category (drama, sports, children, news), sort by popularity or air date, and use the text search to find specific titles or actors.
• Turbo Subscription Benefits: Upgrade to the Turbo tier to remove all advertising interruptions and gain early access to select programs, plus higher streaming bitrates for sharper picture quality.

Practical Considerations and Support

While the app is free to download and use, you should be aware that content availability is governed by licensing agreements. Some programs may have limited viewing windows (typically 30 days after broadcast), and certain shows might be geo-restricted, meaning they are only accessible from within Sweden. For troubleshooting, SVT provides a dedicated support forum directly within the app. Here, you can search for common issues—like buffering problems, login errors, or Chromecast connection failures—or post new questions. The community and official moderators actively respond, ensuring that most technical hurdles have a documented solution.
