What you need to know

  • Google TV now offers more than 170 free channels, allowing US viewers to discover even more content.

  • The update is available to anyone with the latest Google TV software and the new channels can be found in the Google TV Freeplay app.

  • Some of the new channels may be temporary, especially those with holiday-themed names.


Google TV already has a solid selection of free channels with plenty of variety for all types of viewers. But knowing that we can never get enough content, the platform has added even more. With this update, US viewers now have access to over 170 free channels.

According to 9to5Google, this update should now be live for anyone with a TV or streaming device running the latest Google TV software. You can find the extensive channel offering directly in the Google TV Freeplay app.

Freeplay gives you instant access to free, ad-supported live channels as soon as you set up a new Google TV device. For now, though, it’s only available in the US.

Google TV’s latest channel drop builds on a recent expansion. Just a few months ago, the platform added 14 new channels, bringing the total to 150.

The new channels are as follows:

  • Places and spaces – The great Christmas light battle

  • Xumo Free Holiday Movie Channel

  • Xumo Free Holiday Classics

  • Stingray biggest holiday hits

  • Stingray Soul Storm Christmas

  • Stingray Hot Country Christmas

The latest update increases the number of Google TV Freeplay channels to 171. However, 9to5Google points out that some channels may only last through the holidays, judging by their festive names.

In addition to this expansion, MotorTrend Fast TV has quietly disappeared. This constant alternation of adding and removing content is expected to continue until 2025, leaving the streaming scene as unpredictable as ever.

Google TV started with 80 free channels when it launched ad-supported TV in early 2023. By the end of the year, that number had risen to 117. Last August it reached 136, and another 14 were added in September.

Accessing these channels is super easy. Just head to the ‘Live’ tab, browse your recommendations or use the Google TV channel player to jump straight in.
