STV Player features an ever-growing library of premium content including UK original and international drama box-sets, sport and factual entertainment – much of which isn’t available to stream on any other platform in the UK.

As well a mix of new STV exclusive network content, STV Player also offers acquired series from across the world, and archive material with recent highlights including true crime thriller, The Long Shadow; Irvine Welsh’s Crime; much-loved police drama, Taggart; and key acquisition, iconic soap Brookside.

Viewers can also watch STV Player content ad-free and download shows by subscribing to STV Player+.

STV Player VIP is a rewards scheme which enables us to build better connections with our viewers, by bringing members a range of benefits including prizes, personalised recommendations for our best shows plus a reduced advertising load, enabling us to drive streams further.

In December 2022, we announced a strategic partnership around content sharing and advertising sales with ITV that not only provides exclusive rights to a range of original and premiere content in Scotland but also creates incremental digital value for our business and sees ITV’s market leading sales team sell our digital VOD and simulcast advertising, allowing us to benefit from ITV’s unrivalled scale in the market.
