How to watch King Charles's coronation in the UK
The BBC is offering a one-off dispensation for venues and community settings that do not usually require a TV Licence to broadcast the weekend’s ceremonies. The BBC offered similar dispensations for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding in May 2018 and Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021.
According to the BBC, this means, "those celebrating with events arranged in community settings and streets across Britain, where TV is not usually watched, to screen the live programmes throughout the weekend without needing to purchase a licence. This includes, for example, community venues such as churches, town halls, community centres, libraries and streets across Britain as well as commercial premises acting as community venues such as concert halls, performing arts venues, cinemas and shops. It also applies to any outdoor venues which have the facilities to screen."
It is thought that the BBC, along with other broadcasters such as ITV and Sky News will also cover the day's events, and will provide commentary from experts and royal commentators who have not yet been announced.

For Her Majesty's funeral, the service was shown on NBC News Now, CNN, ABC, Fox News, and other outlets. These key broadcasters could be selected once again to show the King's coronation in May.
