More questions

How many people speak Turkish at home in England and Wales?
112,978 residents aged three and over gave Turkish 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 Turkish TV is larger.
Where do most Turkish speakers live?
Enfield has the most, with 18,765 main-language speakers (5.9% of local residents), followed by Haringey and Hackney.
Can I try the Turkish channels before paying?
Yes. Ask for the free 24-hour trial and tell us which Turkish channels matter to you; check them during the trial, at the times you normally watch, before choosing a plan.
What time is Turkish prime time in the UK?
Istanbul 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.
