TVer is a Japanese ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) service. It was established in October 2015 by the five commercial broadcasters in Tokyo: Nippon TV, TV Asahi, TBS Television, TV Tokyo, and Fuji Television. It allows viewers to watch TV programs they missed during their initial broadcast for free for one week. Additionally, the service offers simultaneous streaming, allowing viewers to watch programs at the same time as their TV broadcast.

TVer offers content from 115 stations across Japan as of October 2020 and provides access to 650 programs as of 2023.
