What is CGTN Arabic?
CGTN Arabic is China Global Television Network's Arabic-language channel. It reports on China and international events while also presenting programmes about Chinese society, economy, culture, travel, and relations between China and the Arab world.
The Arabic service combines news with a broader factual and cultural schedule. The current catalogue marks this feed as not necessarily operating continuously, so off-air periods do not automatically mean the channel profile is obsolete.

Current stream listing
Catalogue reviewed November 3, 2026: the catalogue contains a HLS source for this channel. The catalogue marks this source as not continuously on air. An off-air result may reflect the broadcaster schedule rather than a player fault.
Tele24Seven loads the streaming engine only after a viewer selects Watch live, uses a secure playback relay, and never publishes the original upstream URL on this page. A listed source is not a promise of uninterrupted or worldwide playback.
