BritBox move to ITVX and subscriptions explained: Where can I watch?
The only way you'll be able to watch BritBox as a subscriber is on ITVX from now onwards.
BritBox UK has now been fully absorbed into ITVX, marking the end of the standalone service.
BritBox UK was launched in 2019 as a joint venture between the BBC and ITV in a bid to compete with the likes of Netflix and Amazon, with ITV later buying the BBC out of its share in the UK business.
When ITVX launched in 2022, all of BritBox's content was absorbed by ITVX Premium, but subscribers were able to continue using the separate app and website.
However, BritBox was revealed to be shutting down in early February.
ITV's CEO, Carolyn McCall, said at the time that the move comes as part of ITV's plans to streamline its services.

"In 2024, the BritBox UK service on Amazon Prime Video Channels and the BritBox UK standalone app will close as we further simplify our offering," McCall said.
"This will consolidate all our subscribers under one ITVX Premium brand and will give us complete ownership of the subscriber base," she added.
"The closure of these services is expected to impact subscriber numbers and subscription revenues in 2024."
With all the changes going on, subscribers may be wondering just how exactly they can watch BritBox content. Read on for everything you need to know.
