Viaplay is the place to be if you fancy Nordic noir thrillers and original TV series and films. The streaming service is also home to a host of live sports from the Scottish Cup Final to La Liga games and even darts and rugby.<\/p>\n

Originally based in Stockholm, Viaplay was launched in May 2007 under the name Viasat On Demand before rebranding to Viaplay in 2011. Due to the immense popularity of Nordic noir \u2014 a genre of crime fiction set in Scandinavia or Nordic countries \u2014 the streaming service announced plans to expand its offerings overseas \u2013 and, luckily for us, Viaplay was made available in the UK at the end of last year.<\/p>\n

On top of drama and crime thrillers, Viaplay can offer live sports because their parent company holds extensive sports rights in multiple markets. Let us elaborate on just the kind of sports content you can expect: back in May 2022, Viaplay added the National Hockey League (NHL) and Poland-based MMA promotion KSW to its UK offering. In July 2022, it also acquired Premier Sports, which boasts content such as La Liga, the United Rugby Championship and Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL).<\/p>\n

With Premier Sports moving over to Viaplay, the on-demand streaming service has become the only place to watch La Liga live and every match of the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign (aside from England games). On top of the sports action, users can also watch films and series, plus original content that you won\u2019t find on any other streaming service.<\/p>\n

If this sounds like your cup of tea, read on to find out how you can watch Viaplay in the UK.<\/p>\n
