RTP 3 Live

RTP3 is the news channel of RTP, Portugal's public broadcaster, and since October 2025 it has been called RTP Notícias. It follows Portuguese and world news throughout the day, with reporters on location wherever the story is breaking, studio interviews, panel debates and analysis.

Its main evening newscast is 360, and the schedule also features Grande Entrevista, long-form interviews with public figures, along with overnight reruns of the regional bulletins from RTP Açores and RTP Madeira. Election nights and the hours before Portugal's national football team plays often bring special programmes.

The channel launched on 31 May 2004 as RTPN, the first themed channel of the public group, became RTP Informação in 2011 and RTP3 in 2015. For anyone who follows Portugal, speaks Portuguese or simply wants a different European perspective on the day's events, it is the country's reference for public-service journalism.
