What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

Wireless AirPods and other bluetooth devices are supported for the Apple TV (4th generation or later).


To pair bluetooth devices: Use Bluetooth accessories with your Apple TV - Apple Support


If use used the AirPods with a different Apple device prior, and the Apple TV uses the same iCloud account, then the AirPods should automatically pair.


If your Apple TV uses a different iCloud account, or for some reason isn’t running tvOS 11 or later, or it didn’t pair automatically, you’ll have to pair your AirPods manually.

  1. Put your AirPods in the case and open the lid.
  2. Press and hold the pairing button on the back of the case until you see the status light flash white.
  3. On the Apple TV, open the Settings app. 
  4. Click on Remotes and Devices, then Bluetooth.
  5. Select your AirPods from the list.


To use the AirPods, connect them from Control Center for audio output, instead of the TV’s default audio output.
