How to Install NexTV IPTV Player on Firestick & Android TV (2026)

What Is NexTV IPTV Player?

NexTV is a lightweight Android IPTV application designed for simplicity. It strips away the complexity of enterprise-level players and gives you a clean interface focused on three things: live TV channels, a basic programme guide, and a VOD section. There are no complicated menus, no subscription tiers to navigate, and no bloated settings panels.

The app supports M3U playlist URLs and Xtream Codes API — the two universal IPTV connection methods. It groups your channels into categories automatically based on the data in your playlist, so sports, news, movies, and local channels each get their own section.

NexTV is entirely free, which makes it an attractive option for users who want to avoid paying for both an IPTV subscription and a premium player app. For TVNado subscribers, the savings on the player cost go straight into your pocket.

How to Install NexTV on Firestick via Downloader

NexTV is an Android APK that runs on Firestick, but you need to sideload it since Amazon's App Store doesn't carry it. The Downloader app makes this quick.

1. Open Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options on your Firestick.
2. Enable Apps from Unknown Sources.
3. Open the Amazon App Store and search for Downloader. Install the app by AFTVnews.
4. Launch Downloader and type the NexTV APK download URL into the address bar. (Search for the latest NexTV APK URL on your phone and enter it manually.)
5. Tap Go to download the APK file.
6. When prompted, tap Install. After installation completes, tap Done.
7. Find NexTV in your Firestick apps list and open it.

How to Install NexTV on Android TV via Google Play

Android TV users have the easier path — NexTV is available directly on the Google Play Store.

1. From your Android TV or Google TV home screen, open Google Play Store.
2. Search for NexTV.
3. Select the NexTV IPTV Player from the results and tap Install.
4. Once installed, open the app from your home screen or apps drawer.

NexTV works on all Android TV devices including NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, Xiaomi Mi Box, and Sony Android TVs.

How to Connect TVNado IPTV to NexTV

Once NexTV is installed, adding TVNado takes about 60 seconds. You'll need your TVNado credentials — Server URL, Username, and Password — which are sent via WhatsApp after subscribing.

1. Open NexTV and tap Add Playlist.
2. Select Xtream Codes from the connection options.
3. Enter your TVNado Server URL in the server field (include the port number if provided).
4. Enter your TVNado Username and Password.
5. Tap Save or Connect. NexTV will load your channels and organize them into categories.
6. Navigate to Live TV, VOD, or Series from the main menu to start watching.

If you only have an M3U URL, select M3U Playlist instead of Xtream Codes and paste the full URL. The channel list will load in the same way, though VOD organization may be less structured.
