Polish TV in the UK

Polish is the second most spoken main language in England and Wales after English. Speakers are spread across almost every council area rather than gathered in one city, from Ealing to Boston in Lincolnshire.

More questions

How many people speak Polish at home in England and Wales?
611,845 residents aged three and over gave Polish as their main language in Census 2021, about 1.1% of the population. Second-generation speakers who answered “English” are not counted, so the real audience for Polish TV is larger.
Where do most Polish speakers live?
Ealing has the most, with 15,449 main-language speakers (4.4% of local residents), followed by Southampton and North Northamptonshire.
Can I try the Polish channels before paying?
Yes. Ask for the free 24-hour trial and tell us which Polish channels matter to you; check them during the trial, at the times you normally watch, before choosing a plan.
What time is Polish prime time in the UK?
Warsaw runs 1 hour 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.
