LuaLua TV (Arabic:قناة اللؤلؤة) is a Bahraini opposition TV Channel. It started broadcasting in 2011 from London. It was named after the Pearl Roundabout. It is blocked in most Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including Bahrain.[1][2][3]

In June 2021, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Industry and Security seized LuaLua's domain, alongside several other websites such as Press TV, Al-Alam TV and Al-Masirah TV, citing links to Iran and therefore, violations of US sanctions.[4] The website has since come back under a new domain.
