Starting tomorrow, August 14, 2025, DIRECTV’s free, ad-supported streaming TV service, MyFree DIRECTV, will significantly expand its lineup with a fresh slate of linear content offerings from three media giants — NBCUniversal, Fox Corp., and Warner Bros. Discovery. This move enhances the platform’s appeal, delivering a diverse array of programming to viewers at no additional cost, catering to fans of true crime, sports, reality TV, paranormal mysteries, and culinary arts.
Kicking off the expansion, NBCUniversal will introduce three channels to MyFree DIRECTV on August 14. Dateline 24/7 will immerse viewers in round-the-clock true crime mysteries, offering gripping episodes from the iconic Dateline series. NBC News NOW will provide 24/7 live breaking news, in-depth reporting, and the latest headlines, ensuring viewers stay informed in real time. Meanwhile, TODAY All Day will feature four hours of the TODAY show each weekday starting at 11 a.m. ET, complemented by exclusive content, celebrity interviews, original food shows, and health and wellness segments hosted by beloved TODAY anchors. These additions promise to captivate audiences with a mix of investigative journalism, current events, and lifestyle programming.
On August 25, just in time for the college football season, MyFree DIRECTV will further expand with contributions from Fox Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery. Fox Corp. brings two exciting FAST channels to the platform. FOX Sports will offer sports enthusiasts a curated selection of premium FS1 studio show segments, compelling documentaries, and engaging podcasts, tapping into the brand’s robust sports legacy. Additionally, The Masked Singer FAST channel will delight fans of the hit primetime series, which has been a sensation since its debut in January 2019. With new original episodes of The Masked Singer delayed until January 2026, this channel provides a 24/7 stream of unforgettable performances, outrageous costumes, and surprising celebrity reveals, keeping fans entertained with music, mystery, and larger-than-life personalities.
Warner Bros. Discovery adds four new FAST channels on August 25, building on the four introduced on July 30. Ghosts Are Real targets paranormal enthusiasts, diving into haunted locations and unexplained phenomena for spine-chilling real-life ghost encounters. How To unveils the fascinating processes behind everyday objects and extraordinary innovations, spotlighting manufacturing methods, technologies, and engineering marvels. True crime fans will be drawn to I (Almost) Got Away with It, which chronicles the stories of murderers, drug dealers, bank robbers, and jail escapees desperate to evade capture. Rounding out the lineup, Sweet Escapes celebrates the art of baking with jaw-dropping designs, fierce competitions, and sugary masterpieces, offering a delightful escape into a world of whimsical treats and over-the-top desserts.
