These days, just about every provider has some sort of “free” channels available. Of course, these became very popular with the likes of Pluto TV, Tubi TV, and The Roku Channel. Now, Google TV has gotten into the game, offering over 800 free channels, and they are continuing to add more. Google has now branded these channels as Google TV Freeplay.
Here we are listing all of the free channels available on Google TV. This article will be updated as Google adds more channels to Google TV – which seems to be weekly at this point.
What are “Free Channels” on Google TV?
You might be wondering, what are these free channels, and why are they free? They are what is called “Free Ad-Supported TV” or FAST for short. Basically, these are channels that run 24/7 and are generally themed. They have ads like normal TV, but the difference is that you don’t have to pay for them. In fact, on many services, you don’t even need to have an account to start watching.
There are many themed channels for popular shows like Baywatch, Family Feud, Top Gear, Are We There Yet? and many more.
Every Free Channel available on Google TV
Here’s the current list of channels available on Freeplay on Google TV. This list is constantly updating as Google adds more channels. These all require no app installations, which is great for those with Chromecast with Google TV, as there is limited space there. You can access these by opening the Freeplay app or going over to the Live Tab. The Live tab now shows FAST channels from all of your installed apps, as well as your Pay TV apps like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV.
