June is Pride Month in the United States, and the free streaming platform Sling Freestream isn’t letting the moment pass unobserved. The service is adding four new channels to its lineup this week, including selections that are tailor-made for celebrating Pride in style, including all things “Drag Race.”

The new channel additions bring Sling Freestream’s count to over 375; the service also offers over 41,000 on-demand titles and is free to use for all customers, whether they have a paid Sling subscription or not. A valid email address (and strong password) is all you’ll need to start watching Sling Freestream today.

The new channels now available on Sling Freestream are:

  • Drag Race Universe: Hold on to your chicken cutlets: RuPaul and the Drag Race Universe are here! Welcome the world’s fiercest Queens to the catwalk and catch all the sass, flash, and drama as these glamazons strut their stuff on the way to drag superstardom.
  • HappiTV: Streaming Pride. happiTV is dedicated to providing quality entertainment to the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Hell’s Kitchen: A 24/7 channel airing episodes of “Hell’s Kitchen.”
  • IGN1: The inside scoop on what’s hot in the world of video games and entertainment.

These new channels are just the latest content to debut on Sling Freestream. In late May, the service added Spanish-language content from Canela.TV, and in April it brought on several New York-themed channels, including a network dedicated to Broadway musicals.

Free ad-supported TV (FAST) providers like Sling Freestream are some of the only video sources that aren’t seeing declines in viewers, according to a recent survey. As inflation and other economic concerns continue to trouble consumers, free streamers are demonstrating a resiliency that shouldn’t be surprising given their accessibility.

Sling Freestream

Sling Freestream is a free ad-supported TV service offered through Sling TV, offering one of the largest free live TV lineups available today. Viewers get access to more than 520 live channels and over 41,000 on-demand movies and TV episodes without needing a paid subscription. The service blends live news, sports, entertainment, reality TV, movies, and kids’ programming into a single app experience that works across most major streaming devices.

…

The lineup includes always-on news coverage from channels like ABC News Live, CBS News, Scripps News, Bloomberg TV, and more, making it easy to keep up with breaking stories and live events for free. Entertainment fans can jump into channels featuring content from MTV, Comedy Central, BET, VH1, and other familiar brands, with everything from sitcom marathons and reality shows to stand-up comedy and late-night highlights. Sling Freestream also features popular series and franchises, including “Hell’s Kitchen,” “The Walking Dead,” and classic crime and competition shows that rotate regularly throughout the platform.

For families, Freestream offers a growing selection of children’s programming, including channels from Sensical, Nick Jr., and other kid-friendly brands, featuring cartoons, educational content, and preschool favorites. Movie lovers can browse a constantly refreshed library of free films alongside themed live movie channels that stream action, comedy, thriller, and holiday content around the clock.

One of Freestream’s more unique features is its collection of “sneak peek” channels and free episode samplers from premium networks and streaming brands like AMC+, MGM+, STARZ, and TNT. These curated previews let viewers sample hit shows and original programming without signing up for another subscription, giving users a taste of premium TV at no cost.

Sports and international programming are also a major part of the experience. Freestream carries free sports-focused channels including beIN SPORTS XTRA and other niche sports feeds, while international viewers can watch programming in seven languages through channels like AajTak International, Zona TUDN, ARY News, France24, SonyKal, Noticias Univision 24/7, TVP World, Al Jazeera English, and Al Arabiya.

In addition to its free streaming catalog, Sling also offers a built-in movie rental store where users can rent newer theatrical releases and popular films without subscribing to a paid TV package. Rental pricing typically ranges from $3.99 to $24.99, depending on the title and release window, giving cord-cutters another flexible viewing option directly inside the Sling app.
