Create Your Free U Account

To watch shows on the U app, you need to create a free account. You can do this on the U website or within the app. The registration process is quick and does not require any payment details. You will need to provide some basic information like your email address. After you register, you can sign in to your account on your TV or streaming device to start watching.

A Note on Your Location

You can only watch U if you are in the UK. The service is geo-restricted, meaning it’s not available in other countries. If you are outside the UK, you will need to use a VPN to access the service. A VPN can make it seem like you are in the UK by giving you a UK IP address.
