How to Install MXL TV on Firestick & Android TV (2026)

What Is MXL TV?

MXL TV is a free IPTV player built for Android TV and Firestick that supports both the Xtream Codes API and M3U playlist format. It is designed to be a simple, no-fuss player that gets you from installation to streaming as quickly as possible — without requiring any paid tier to access its full feature set.

The interface is clean and organized, presenting your content across three main sections: Live TV, Movies, and Series. Each section automatically populates with your IPTV provider's content when you connect via Xtream Codes. For TVNado subscribers, this means all 50,000+ live channels load in the Live TV tab, all 130,000+ movies populate in Movies, and all TV series appear in Series — each with artwork and metadata where available.

MXL TV includes EPG support, so your live channels display current and upcoming program information. The favorites system lets you pin your most-watched channels for instant access. The app is particularly valued by users who run older or lower-powered Android TV boxes — its lightweight design means it runs reliably on hardware that might struggle with heavier players like XCIPTV or TiviMate.

MXL TV is distributed as an APK rather than through the Google Play Store, so installation on both Firestick and Android TV requires sideloading. The process is straightforward and takes about five minutes using the Downloader app on Firestick or a file manager on Android TV.
