The Festival on Your Screens 📺
Following our BAFTA-winning broadcasts on Sky Arts in 2024, the Festival is back on your screens. This year, seven performances from the 2026 Festival are coming to Sky Arts, free to view in the UK, with more on leading arts platforms around the world.
We’ve teamed up with UK classical music filming specialists, Stagecast for broadcasts on Sky Arts, Mezzo, medici.tv, STAGE+, JazzLive, Carnegie Hall+ and Unitel Blue to take the Festival well beyond Edinburgh.

Coming to Sky Arts
From 2 November to 14 December, there’s a new performance every Monday:
Watching from outside the UK and Ireland? There's plenty of live performance for you:
All Rise and Colin Currie Group’s Steve Reich performance are available now on medici.tv, and All Rise is also on STAGE+. In November, the National Youth Orchestra of the USA’s Gershwin concert arrives on Carnegie Hall+ for viewers outside the UK and Ireland.
Artists travel from every corner of the world to perform in Edinburgh. It makes sense for that work to reach just as far. With Sky Arts, Stagecast and other broadcast partners, we’re extending the International Festival experience of the world’s great artists in music, opera, dance and theatre to audiences across the UK and further abroad. In sharing our biggest moments beyond Edinburgh stages, more people can access life-changing art, wherever they are.Roy Luxford, Creative Director
