BBC account is the sign-in system for the BBC website. Having a BBC account lets you watch and listen to programmes on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds, comment on articles, add favourites, play games, write reviews, save recipes and lots more!

Signing in is quick, free and easy and you should stay signed in for two years on each web browser or app. Sign in isn’t required to watch children’s content through your web browser. Visit BBC account help for support with registering and signing in.

We share some of your personal information with TV Licensing to check if you are using BBC iPlayer and to keep their database up to date. You can read more about how we use your information on our Using the BBC website.
