What Is TiviMate Premium?

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 55,000+ live channels, NFL, NBA, Premier League, and 180,000+ movies — you need an IPTV provider. That's where IPTV Free Trial comes in.
Once you have your IPTV Free Trial credentials (Server URL, Username, Password), add them inside TiviMate under Add Playlist → Xtream Codes API. Your full channel library loads in seconds.
