DIRECTV has added NBC Sports Now to its lineup of free channels on MyFree DIRECTV.

NBC Sports Now, which airs shows such as The Dan Patrick Show and the Dan Le Batard Show, among other NBC Sports-produced programming, is now available on MyFree DIRECTV on channel 4180. The channel can be found in between Waypoint and The Jim Rome Show channel. (Both satellite and streaming customers can access the free channels on the DIRECTV app.)

DIRECTV recently also announced that it will soon add a new free movie channel in cooperation with the Lionsgate studio.

What Is MyFree DIRECTV?
MyFree DIRECTV, which started with 70 channels in November 2024, now has more than 100 channels and is expected to add more channels in the coming weeks and months. DIRECTV is hoping that MyFree DIRECTV will generate additional advertising revenue as well as attract potential customers who might subscribe after coming to its site/app.

Who Can Watch DIRECTV’s Free Service?

MyFree DIRECTV is available to both DIRECTV subscribers and non-DIRECTV consumers and includes both live channels and on-demand programming. You can watch the free channels by creating a DIRECTV account at DIRECTV.com and then going to the DIRECTV Stream app or this web page.
