GlobeNow.tvFree 3D globe live TV sites
Spinning a globe is a fun way to find something live to watch. These six free sites all do it, and none needs an account. They differ in what you find when you click: a large TV directory, local radio, webcams, or (on GlobeNow.tv) today's news from that place. Facts below were checked on each site's own pages on 19 Oct 2026.
I'm the developer of GlobeNow.tv, so it is listed first. The others are in no particular order and are not affiliated with GlobeNow.tv.

Questions
What is the best free site to watch live international news on a world map?
It depends on what you want to watch. GlobeNow.tv is built around news: it places the last 24 hours of news videos from official broadcasters on a 3D globe by city, next to 647 live TV channels from 64 countries. Famelack, CartoTV, Worldcast and Globe TV are bigger TV directories on a globe that cover every genre. All of them are free and none needs an account.
Where do these sites get their channels?
Famelack and Worldcast say their TV lists come mainly from iptv-org, an open community list of public streams on GitHub. GlobeNow.tv only plays live streams that broadcasters publish on their own official YouTube channels, in the YouTube player, so the list is smaller but each stream comes from the channel itself.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. All six sites work in a web browser without an account. Famelack and Worldcast also have phone apps; GlobeNow.tv can be added to the home screen from the browser.
Is this list a ranking?
No. GlobeNow.tv is listed first because this guide is published by its developer; the others are in no particular order. Each description only states what the site says about itself, checked on 2026-10-19.
