Samsung has added new sports-based channels to its line-up of FAST channels on the Samsung TV Plus service.
Available on Samsung Smart TV and Galaxy devices in the UK, the channels include Red Bull Media House, The PGA Tour, DAZN Ringside and DAZN Women’s Football.
“It’s exciting to see how FAST is evolving to meet the demands of its growing viewership,” said Jennifer Batty, Samsung TV Plus European Head of Content Acquisition. “Sports fans are increasingly finding it to be the ideal format to engage with more from their favourite sports personalities and organisations beyond their live performances. Whether they prefer football, golf, racing, extreme sports or something else, FAST’s additive capabilities within sports broadcasting provide viewers with content in and around their favourite sporting competitions, building a 360-viewing experience like never before.”
Red Bull Media House programming content focuses on long-form original programming of live events and shows related to extreme sports, music, lifestyle, and culture. While the PGA Tour channel provides Samsung TV Plus viewers with a collection of award-winning content from PGA Tour Entertainment, including bespoke originals Tiger Tracks and Tiger Tales, round and tournament recaps, telecast re-airs, official films and PGA TOUR player profiles.
In addition, two new DAZN channels have launched on Samsung TV Plus. DAZN Ringside provides viewers with action across boxing and MMA from partners, including Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy, Wasserman and MF & DAZN: X Series. DAZN Women’s Football also gives viewers front row seats to the very best action in Women’s Football from live UEFA Women’s Champions League and Liga F to hours of behind-the-scenes documentaries.
Ahead of the 2023 Women’s World Cup Samsung partnered with FIFA+ to launch a channel of original documentaries, archive footage, and highlights from previous Men’s and Women’s games.
