Sling TV Freestream, the free ad-supported streaming service from Sling TV, has added five new channels to its growing roster, further diversifying its offerings for viewers seeking cost-free entertainment. Today they added new channels including Crunchyroll, Nick Jr Pluto TV, Poker Go, Slightly Off IFC, and The Archive, bringing its total to over 600 live channels and more than 41,000 on-demand titles. The announcement comes as Sling Freestream continues to position itself as a competitive alternative to other free streaming services like Pluto TV and Tubi, especially for cord-cutters looking to avoid subscription fees.
The addition of Crunchyroll is a major win for anime fans, offering a dedicated channel with a mix of popular series and new releases. While Sling Freestream already featured anime content through channels like Anime Hi Dive and Retro Crush, Crunchyroll’s inclusion adds a heavyweight name known for hits like Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen. Nick Jr Pluto TV, another new addition, brings family-friendly programming to the platform, featuring shows like Peppa Pig and Blue’s Clues & You!—perfect for parents looking for safe, engaging content for young kids. This channel complements existing kids’ offerings like Sensical Jr., which caters to children aged 2-4.
For sports and gaming enthusiasts, Poker Go joins the lineup with live poker tournaments and original series, tapping into a niche but passionate audience. This addition builds on Sling Freestream’s existing sports-related channels like World Poker Tour and SportStak, which covers boxing, MMA, and more. Slightly Off IFC, a new channel from the Independent Film Channel, offers quirky, offbeat content, including indie films and unconventional series, aligning with IFC’s reputation for eclectic programming. Finally, The Archive caters to fans of classic TV and movies, delivering a nostalgic mix of vintage shows and films, much like FilmRise’s offerings on the platform.
The service, which requires no sign-up or credit card, is accessible on major devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Samsung TVs, as well as through the Sling TV app and website.
