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.
