Samsung TV Plus

Free live TV with 135 channels and favorites

Samsung TV Plus delivers a cost-free, ad-supported lineup of live television tailored for Samsung device owners. It blends news, entertainment, and sports into a single hub, offering hundreds of hours of programming without asking for a subscription fee.

The channel roster is surprisingly broad at 135 options, with dedicated picks for different tastes. Families get nine kids channels, news hounds can follow 24/7 coverage from major networks including CBSN, and film fans can dip into Samsung’s own The Movie Hub for blockbuster selections. The feel is purposefully old school, inviting you to flip through channels and stumble on something to watch.

Unlike full on-demand services, this is live TV at its core. You cannot simply search a title and start it on the spot. Programs air at fixed times and include commercial breaks, so browsing is part of the journey. Helpful tools smooth things out: mark favorite channels for quick access, set watch reminders so you catch specific broadcasts, and build a watch list that unlocks some on-demand playback. That on-demand slice leans older or niche, which can be handy if you are undecided and just want something familiar.

There are notable caveats. Samsung limits support to specific phone lines, namely variants of the Galaxy S10, Note 10, S20, and Note 20. The service is also available in only 11 countries, and the channel lineup depends on your region. Usability is not flawless either, with choppy broadcasts and occasional crashes noted.

If you own a supported Samsung handset and want free live TV with a classic channel-surfing vibe, Samsung TV Plus is an easy win. If you prefer a modern, search-driven on-demand library, or your device and country are not covered, its limitations will likely outweigh the perks.
