DIRECTV Stream: The 2025 Channel Lineup for Every Package

In 2025, DIRECTV Stream added two new packages: MyFree DIRECTV, and DIRECTV Mysports. The first, an attempt to catch up with so-called "FAST" services (free ad-supported streamers like Tubi), and the second, a reformulated version of Venu, a streaming service that was almost launched by big rights-holders but was called off due to a lawsuit. This complicates an already-complicated lineup. [TABLE]

Disney+ vs Max: which is better?

Disney+ and Max's cheapest plans cost the same at $10/month, but which is better? Both have rights to a wide variety of properties—Disney has Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic, and Marvel, while Max has DC, Cartoon Network, TCM, and HBO to name a few. Both are also compatible with most devices and are easy to use. The difference lies in preference. Disney+ is a great fit for families who plan on sharing a subscription, since you'll find a little something for everyone. Max on the other hand is great for mature audiences, since the films and TV shows are slightly edgier. Below, we break down the main similarities and differences between the two popular streaming services.

25 Best Free Live TV Streaming Services

You may have heard of Tubi, that Netflix-like streaming service that allows you to watch free films and TV shows, albeit with ads. But a lot has happened since Tubi popularized free streaming. Peacock canceled its zero-cost tier while Amazon Prime absorbed freevee. On the other hand, DirecTV Stream and Sling have thrown their hats in the ring and now offer their own free live TV services, while many smaller services strive to deliver local live news. This is all to say that despite the instability, you now have more choices than ever to stream for free. The channels won't always be great, and the ads can get annoying, but at least you're spared from the skyrocketing costs going on over at Netflix and co. So without further ado, here's a list of the best free live TV streaming services available right now. We'll be updating it as we come across more.

Hulu vs Crunchyroll: which is better?

Along with Netflix and Prime, Hulu is one of the major streaming services that carries a surprising number amount of anime, among them, Attack on Titan, Bleach, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Naruto. But while vast, it can hardly compare to Crunchyroll's catalog. Ever since it acquired Funimation, Crunchyroll has become the ultimate resource for all things anime in the US, not only touting quantity but quality too. A lot of its episodes become available as soon as they air in Japan. So, which is better? If you're a hardcore fan interested in niche and new content, Crunchyroll is the way to go. But if you're satisfied with popular titles and the classics, we think Hulu's offerings are worthwhile, especially if you want your fair share of Western titles too. Below, we compare Hulu and Crunchyroll's features to help you figure out which is the better service for you.

DirecTV Stream MySports Explained: Price, Availability, Channels

There are a couple of sports-centered streaming services out there like ESPN+ and Fubo, but perhaps none as streamlined and comprehensive as DirecTV Stream's latest plan, called DirecTV Stream MySports. As of this writing, the plan is still in its beta phase, but it is already available to 122 markets and offers 25+ live channels, many of them coveted sports channels like TNT, TBS, and truTV (which were previously available on Fubo) as well as the official channels of the MLB, NBA, and NFL. Not a lot of services—if any—carry that kind of selection in one plan. So, what exactly does DirecTV Stream MySports offer? Is it all that different from DirecTV Stream's Sports Pack? Is it available where you live? Is it worth it? We try to answer all your Qs and more in the article below.

Summary:

Price: $69.99/month (exclusive of taxes)
Channels: More than 25 sports channels, including TBS, TNT, TruTV, ESPN, SEC, ACC, and USA
How to sign up: You can sign up on their website
