Amazon Freevee Adds Sports-Betting Free Streaming Channel SportsGrid

Amazon Freevee Adds Sports-Betting Free Streaming Channel SportsGrid

More sports content is headed to Amazon Freevee in the form of SportsGrid, a free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel that talks about sports and sports betting 24/7. SportsGrid will join over 200 free linear channels on Freevee, Amazon’s FAST platform, and joins recent sports addition InTrouble and MotorTrendTV.

Freevee added InTrouble, a FAST channel dedicated to extreme sports powered by Insight TV in February, and added MotorTrend shows to the platform in December.

SportsGrid also fills a specific and growing niche among Amazon’s expanding sports content. Most of Amazon’s sports content consists of either live games or studio shows akin to ESPN’s offerings, but none of the existing original content touches on sports betting. Now, Amazon has something to appeal to the gamblers among us in SportsBet.

“It is an exciting day for the SportsGrid executive team to partner with Amazon Freevee and Prime Video services offering their millions of users access to the best destination source for sports betting news, real-time data, and expert commentary,” SportsGrid president and co-founder Louis Maione said. “We look forward to the Amazon partnership to innovate and develop new tools to engage and redefine the sports viewers’ betting experience.”

As more states continue to legalize sports gambling, demand for sports betting content grows. In its first year with legal sports betting, New York bettors wagered a total of $16.7 billion through mobile apps alone — and most other states aren’t far behind. SportsGrid has capitalized on the increased demand for sports betting content and turned the opportunity into appearances on multiple FAST platforms, popular social media channels, and its own channel on SiriusXM. Now, they can add Amazon Freevee to the list of places where viewers can find SportsGrid.

SportsGrid will be available now on Freevee throughout the United States. The FAST channel joins a number of sports-focused additions for Amazon. In addition to a growing number of live sports rights deals — most notably becoming the exclusive home of NFL “Thursday Night Football — both Freevee and Prime Video have become the home of 12 hours of original sports talk.

Amazon is also reportedly in the process of launching a standalone sports streaming service, so incorporating even more sports-focused content on its collection of streaming services bodes well for the eventual release of another Amazon streamer.

Freevee

Freevee video streaming service was Amazon’s free, ad-supported streaming service offering a mix of movies, TV shows, live FAST channels, and original programming. Originally launched as IMDb TV before rebranding to Amazon Freevee in 2022, the service featured licensed library content alongside exclusives such as “Jury Duty,” “Bosch: Legacy,” and “Judy Justice.” Its lineup spanned drama, comedy, reality, true crime, and family programming, along with curated live channels covering news, sports highlights, and classic TV.

…

In 2024, Amazon began phasing out the Freevee brand and integrating its content directly into Prime Video. Rather than operating as a standalone app, Freevee’s free, ad-supported programming is now available within the Prime Video platform under dedicated free sections. Viewers do not need a Prime membership to access this content, though ads are included. The service shut down fully in September 2025.

Freevee programming can be streamed on smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, gaming consoles, mobile devices, and web browsers through the Prime Video app. With its transition to Prime Video, the service’s free library continues to offer a wide range of on-demand and live streaming options for viewers looking to watch without a subscription.

With its blend of recognizable library titles, original series, and live channels, Freevee helped establish Amazon as a major player in the FAST space before being folded into the broader Prime Video experience.
