Quick Answer
To link your television to your Network 10 account, open the 10 Play app on your Smart TV and select Sign In to generate a 5-character activation code. Next, grab your smartphone or computer and navigate to 10.com.au/activate. Sign in to your account, enter the 5-digit code displayed on your TV screen, and click ‘Activate’. Your TV will sync automatically.
Why You Need to Activate 10 Play
Network 10 offers a massive library of free, live, and on-demand content, from blockbuster reality shows like Australian Survivor and MasterChef to premium live sports. However, because 10 Play is a member-restricted service, you must authenticate your viewing hardware. Typing passwords with a clunky television remote is frustrating, which is why the 10.com.au activate (also known as 10play.com.au/activate) process was designed. It securely bridges your TV app to your mobile phone’s active browser session.

Before attempting to generate an activation code, ensure your streaming hardware supports the latest version of the 10 Play application.
