Installing IPTV on your Amazon Firestick is a straightforward process, but since IPTV apps are often not available on the Amazon App Store, you’ll typically need to sideload them. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

🔧 Step-by-Step: How to Install IPTV on Firestick
1. Prepare Your Firestick
You need to enable installation from unknown sources.
- Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options
- Turn on:
- ADB Debugging
- Apps from Unknown Sources (If you see “Install unknown apps”, enable it for the app you’ll use to download IPTV)
2. Install Downloader App
The Downloader app lets you sideload APK files.
- Go to the Amazon App Store (on Firestick home screen)
- Search for Downloader
- Download and install it
3. Use Downloader to Install IPTV App
Now, you can install the IPTV app using a direct APK link.
- Open the Downloader app
- Enter the URL of the IPTV APK you want to install (like
https://.../iptv.apk
) ⚠️ Make sure you get the APK from a trusted source. - Once downloaded, you’ll be prompted to install it. Click Install.
- After installation, you can Delete the APK file to save space.
4. Open and Set Up IPTV App
- Go back to the Firestick Home screen
- Go to Apps and find the IPTV app you installed

🔌 How to Set Up IPTV (3 Common Methods)
Depending on your IPTV provider, you may get one of the following:
1. M3U Playlist URL
This is a link like:
pgsqlCopierModifierhttps://example.com/get.php?username=abc&password=123&type=m3u
Just paste it into your IPTV player.
2. Xtream Codes API Login
This uses:
- Server URL
- Username
- Password
Example:
makefileCopierModifierServer: https://example.com:8080
User: abc
Pass: 123
Faster and more reliable than M3U in some apps.
3. EPG (Electronic Program Guide) URL
Optional, but adds program schedules. Usually looks like:
arduinoCopierModifierhttps://example.com/epg.xml
Add it in the EPG section of the app for live TV info.
