What Is TiviMate Premium?
TiviMate is an IPTV player — it plays your live TV channels but does not include any channels itself. Think of it like VLC or Kodi: a player that needs content. TiviMate Premium is an optional $4.99/year in-app purchase that unlocks the full version of the app.

How to Buy TiviMate Premium
Buying TiviMate Premium costs $4.99/year and is processed through Google Play. Here is exactly how to do it on each device type:
On Android TV or Google TV (easiest method)
- Open TiviMate on your Android TV or Google TV device
- Go to Settings → General → Get Premium
- Sign in with your Google account when prompted
- Confirm the $4.99/year purchase in Google Play
- Premium activates instantly — all features unlock immediately
On Firestick (buy via phone — recommended)
- First, install TiviMate on your Firestick using the Downloader app
- On your Android phone, open the Google Play Store
- Search for TiviMate IPTV Player and open the app listing
- Tap Buy — complete the $4.99/year purchase
- Sign into TiviMate on your Firestick with the same Google account used for the purchase
- TiviMate Premium activates automatically on your Firestick
Why buy via phone for Firestick? Google Play payments are easier on Android phone than navigating with a remote. The Premium license links to your Google account, so it automatically works on any device signed into that account.
On ONN 4K Plus or Android TV Box
- Open TiviMate on your ONN 4K Plus or Android TV box
- Go to Settings → General → Get Premium
- Complete the Google Play purchase (you must be signed into a Google account)
- Premium unlocks immediately
Note: If TiviMate isn't in the Play Store on your Firestick, use the TiviMate Downloader code to sideload the APK first.
TiviMate Premium vs TiviMate APK / Mod APK
Searching for a "TiviMate Premium APK" or "TiviMate mod APK" is risky. Cracked versions of TiviMate Premium are illegal, frequently contain malware, and often don't work correctly. At $4.99/year — less than $0.42/month — the official upgrade is the only safe choice.
You Still Need an IPTV Subscription
TiviMate Premium is the player. To actually watch 50,000+ live channels, NFL, NBA, Premier League, and 130,000+ movies — you need an IPTV provider. That's where Tivimate IPTV comes in.
Once you have your Tivimate IPTV credentials (Server URL, Username, Password), add them inside TiviMate under Add Playlist → Xtream Codes API. Your full channel library loads in seconds.
