More questions

How many people speak Bulgarian at home in England and Wales?
111,431 residents aged three and over gave Bulgarian as their main language in Census 2021, about 0.2% of the population. Second-generation speakers who answered “English” are not counted, so the real audience for Bulgarian TV is larger.
Where do most Bulgarian speakers live?
Enfield has the most, with 5,569 main-language speakers (1.8% of local residents), followed by Waltham Forest and Haringey.
Can I try the Bulgarian channels before paying?
Yes. Ask for the free 24-hour trial and tell us which Bulgarian channels matter to you; check them during the trial, at the times you normally watch, before choosing a plan.
What time is Bulgarian prime time in the UK?
Sofia runs 2 hours ahead of UK time today, so subtract or add that gap from the listings at home. Our time converter does the sum for live games.
