Samsung TV Plus has expanded its industry-leading sports offering and now gives fans live access to select local and national games from top sports leagues and governing bodies, delivering extensive sports coverage. During the 2024-25 season, fans in Southern California were the first to experience Victory+ Anaheim, an exclusive FAST channel featuring live, local Anaheim Ducks games, and fans will soon be able to tune into the upcoming 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons. As Samsung TV Plus expands its regional lineup to bring subscription-free hometown action front and center, Dallas Stars fans will be able to enjoy live games for the 2025-26 season on a new Victory+ Dallas channel that will premiere on the service later this year.

On a national level, Samsung TV Plus has also added NASCAR, featuring original programming and continuous race coverage, as well as The Roku Sports Channel, which will broadcast live MLB games, Formula E races, X games, among others.

With the launch of these new channels, and more exciting additions on the horizon this year, Samsung TV Plus further cements its position as the leading destination for sports fans to watch live games, extensive archives, and legendary replays with coverage across major sports leagues such as NFL, NHL, and MLB, as well as UFC, PGA TOUR, Formula 1, and FIFA.

“We’re tearing down the paywalls that have kept fans from the sports they love,” said Salek Brodsky, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Samsung TV Plus. “By teaming up with top leagues and bringing live games and iconic moments to our platform, we’re giving every fan a front-row seat.”
