Sling TV has been working to make its ad-supported Sling Freestream service even better by adding tons of new channels recently. As spotted by CordCuttersNews, it appears as though Sling has just dropped another fresh batch of channel additions to the service, bringing the total to over 430 free channels you can stream content on.

The new channels added this week include:

  • Antiques Road Trip
  • BBC Antiques Roadshow UK
  • Baywatch
  • BBC Earth
  • BBC Food
  • BBC Home and Garden
  • BBC Travel
  • BBC Doctor Who
  • Farscape
  • Fawesome
  • Startalk TV
  • BBC Top Gear

Freestream was first launched back in February 2023, and originally had just over 200 channels. Since then, Sling has more than doubled the number of channels available, all while retaining the free price tag.

The Sling Freestream service is totally independent of its Sling Blue and Sling Orange packages. You don’t need to create an account or anything in order to be able to watch the available content. If you do create an account, you can earn entries towards prizes, but it’s not required to access the content like on Sling’s paid options. Additionally, all of the channels available on the Freestream side of Sling are also available to the live TV streaming service’s subscribers as well.

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.
