TV Answer Man, thanks for the update on DIRECTV adding the free MLB channel. How many free sports channels does it have now and what are they? A list, please? Thank you. – Gene, Pittsburgh.

Gene, DIRECTV’s free streaming service, called MyFreeDIRECTV, today added MLB Fast, Major League Baseball’s ad-supported streaming service.

MyFree DIRECTV, which is available to both DIRECTV subscribers and non-DIRECTV consumers, now offers more than 140 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.

MyFreeDIRECTV now has 35 live sports channels. The list includes NBC Sports Now, which airs shows such as The Dan Patrick Show and the Dan Le Batard Show, among other NBC Sports-produced programming; Fox Sports, which offers a mix of studio and news shows from the network; ESPN 8 – The Ocho, the niche sports channel inspired by the film, Dodgeball; ACC Digital Network, which offers live and replay coverage of Atlantic Coast Conference games; Rome, which features shows with the sports personality, Jim Rome; and PBTV, which features pickleball play.

DIRECTV’s free service does not have as many sports channels as some of its free rivals do. For example, Amazon’s Prime Video offers more than 50 free sports channels as we note in our report. DIRECTV also doesn’t carry some of the better-known freebies such as the NFL Channel. But DIRECTV has promised to expand the lineup.

MLB Fast
