- Google TV Freeplay adds 48 new US FAST channels, bringing total library to over 250
- The wave of channels includes free entertainment and sports, with many new additions from NBC Universal.
- In addition to entertainment and sports, Google is also investing in adding more local news channels to its FAST viewing library.
Google is once again expanding its offering of free streaming content, and the company has added 48 new free channels to its ad-supported Google TV Freeplay service in the US, for a total of more than 250 library channels.
In recent months, Google has expanded its 24/7 FAST content offering, giving viewers access to their favorite movies and shows without additional fees or account requirements. Google embraced the free streaming trend in 2023 by launching its flagship free service, but it was initially known only as “Free Channels” before changing to Google TV Freeplay in 2024.
As streaming giants like Netflix and Disney+ continue to raise prices, frustrating subscribers, more and more users are turning to the best free streaming services as an alternative. So it’s no surprise that Google has doubled down on its commitment to free streaming.
Google’s latest wave of free channels offers a long list of sports and entertainment shows, plus a host of local news channels. These include the following:

However, Google’s wealth of free streaming channels isn’t limited to what’s available on Google TV Freeplay. Thanks to the company’s partnerships with FAST services like Plex, Pluto TV, Tubi and more, you can access more than 1,000 free channels from the Live tab on the Google TV home screen.
As mentioned, Google’s new FAST channels are currently only available in the US, but there are plenty of free streaming options if you live elsewhere. If you live in the UK, Freely is one of the leading live and on-demand FAST TV services, with plans to add more channels in 2026, so it’s definitely a platform to try if you want to explore your FAST options further.
