For the college sports fanatic.
Saturday energy, seven days a week. Big 12 Studios brings college sports fans inside the action with football, basketball, classic games, previews, highlights, and more.
As college football ramps up, you can even catch team-by-team 2026 Big 12 Football Preview Shows and start scouting the season before kickoff.
NBC Sports NOW
For the fan who watches a little bit of everything.
Not sure which sport you're in the mood for? Start here.
NBC Sports NOW brings together highlights, analysis, documentaries, and more. One minute you're catching up on the WNBA. The next, you're watching cycling highlights or diving into another corner of the sports world.
Consider it your sports sampler platter.
Outside TV
For the "I'd rather be outside" crowd. Mountains > couches.
Outside TV brings the adrenaline with climbing, skiing, mountain biking, endurance sports, adventure programming, and plenty of people doing things that will make you question your own relationship with gravity.
PickleTV
Yes, there's an entire channel for pickleball.
America's pickleball obsession isn't slowing down, and neither is PickleTV.
The channel serves up matches, tournaments, and championship action from the increasingly competitive world of pickleball, including singles, doubles, collegiate play, and professional events.
World Poker Tour

For the sports fan with a poker face.
Sometimes the most dramatic competition involves almost no movement whatsoever.
World Poker Tour delivers tournament action, huge pots, brutal bluffs, and the wonderfully uncomfortable experience of watching someone silently contemplate a decision worth an insane amount of money.
World Surf League 24/7
For anyone who'd rather be at the beach.
Big waves. Bigger stakes.
World Surf League 24/7 brings pro surfing straight to your screen with competition highlights, Championship Tour action, athlete features, and a front-row seat to some of the world's best surfers taking on seriously killer waves.
And That's Just the Beginning
Six channels barely scratch the surface.
Sling Freestream also offers sports channels dedicated to tennis, golf, MMA, boxing, billiards, fishing, motorsports, international soccer, and more.
Try Sports Illustrated TV for more overall sports coverage, Swerve Combat for combat sports, T2 Live Tennis for tennis, or WIRED2FISH when you'd rather spend time on the water.
Whatever your sport, there's a pretty good chance Freestream has a channel for it.
