Samsung TV Plus has announced new updates to its sports programming, giving fans more ways to watch live and on-demand sports for free. The service has added several new channels to its lineup, including local and national games from top leagues and sports organizations. This move is part of a larger push to give viewers free access to live sports, replays, and sports talk, without the need for a subscription.
This year, Samsung TV Plus introduced Victory+ Anaheim, a channel made for Southern California viewers who want to watch live Anaheim Ducks games. The channel also has highlights, recaps, and other sports content related to the team. Plans are also in place for Victory+ Anaheim to carry Ducks games for the upcoming 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons. Later this year, a similar channel, Victory+ Dallas, will launch for Dallas Stars fans, letting viewers in the Dallas area stream live games and related programming for the 2025-26 season.
Beyond local coverage, Samsung TV Plus has expanded its national sports programming. The service now features a NASCAR channel, which has race news, original series, and replays of past races. The Roku Sports Channel is also new to the platform. It streams live Major League Baseball games, Formula E races, X Games, and more. Fans can watch daily sports talk shows, including content from Rich Eisen and Good Morning Football: Overtime. In addition, the service now carries PBR RidePass, which streams live and on-demand events from the Professional Bull Riders Unleash The Beast Tour, team competitions, ultimate bull fighting, rodeo, and other western sports. The channel also features original series and news updates.
These new channels join over 50 other sports-related channels already available on Samsung TV Plus. Viewers can watch content from major sports leagues, including dedicated channels for the NFL, MLB, FIFA, Formula 1, PGA TOUR, and UFC. Each channel offers a mix of live events, game replays, highlights, and behind-the-scenes programming. For example, the NFL Channel provides 24/7 access to football content, including live game updates, stats, and original shows. The MLB FAST channel delivers daily baseball highlights, replays, documentaries, and more. FIFA+ lets fans watch live matches, historic replays, and documentaries, while the Formula 1 Channel covers F1, F2, F3, and F1 Academy races, along with analysis and documentaries. The PGA TOUR and UFC channels bring tournament coverage, recaps, and iconic moments from golf and mixed martial arts.
Samsung TV Plus also offers live sports from other organizations. ION, for example, will show WNBA Friday Night Spotlight games, National Women’s Soccer League matches, and more women’s sports events in the coming months. Tennis Channel 2 streams live tournament coverage for both men’s and women’s professional tennis, along with original series and interviews. The Women’s Sports Network features live volleyball, breaking news, and stories from across women’s sports, while PickleballTV offers live tournament coverage, instruction, and news about the growing sport of pickleball.
Sports talk and highlights are also a major part of the lineup. CBS Sports HQ gives fans 24/7 access to breaking news, highlights, and instant reactions. Other channels like FOX Sports, NBC Sports NOW, DraftKings Network, and FanDuel TV Extra add even more coverage with daily talk shows, live events, documentaries, and betting content.
