More questions

How many people speak Punjabi at home in England and Wales?
290,745 residents aged three and over gave Punjabi as their main language in Census 2021, about 0.5% of the population. Second-generation speakers who answered “English” are not counted, so the real audience for Punjabi TV is larger.
Where do most Punjabi speakers live?
Sandwell has the most, with 20,984 main-language speakers (6.4% of local residents), followed by Birmingham and Ealing.
Can I try the Punjabi channels before paying?
Yes. Ask for the free 24-hour trial and tell us which Punjabi channels matter to you; check them during the trial, at the times you normally watch, before choosing a plan.
What time is Punjabi prime time in the UK?
Amritsar runs 4 and a half 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.
