FanDuel TV, the cable television network from leading online gaming company FanDuel, announced the launch of “FanDuel TV Extra,” a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel. “FanDuel TV Extra” is currently available on a variety of streaming platforms including Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Xumo Play, Plex, and through FanDuel’s own OTT platform FanDuel TV+.

“FanDuel TV Extra” airs more live sports than any other FAST channel currently available, making it the premier destination for watch-and-wager programming. Viewers and bettors will have access to live award-winning horse racing coverage FanDuel TV is famous for as well as international basketball including China’s CBA, Germany’s BBL, Turkey’s BSL, and Pan-America’s BCLA, international soccer from South Korea’s K-League, PDC darts, and poker from PokerStars.

Programming on “FanDuel TV Extra” will also include episodes of FanDuel TV’s original studio shows “Up & Adams” and “Run It Back”. Fans can watch player interviews and expert analysis of the top storylines from around the NFL and NBA from their favorite personalities like Kay Adams, Shams Charania, Michelle Beadle, Chandler Parsons, Lou Williams, and more.

“Launching ‘FanDuel TV Extra’ was another important step in expanding distribution for FanDuel TV content and reaching new audiences. Our research showed a large portion of our target audience already consume content on FAST. Airing over 12 hours of live sports a day that can be wagered on significantly differentiates our channel in the market and allows us to reach a new cohort of passionate sports fans and bettors. We plan on continuing to invest in the reach of ‘FanDuel TV Extra’ by adding it to other top FAST providers in the near future,” Kevin Grigsby, Executive Producer and SVP of FanDuel TV, said.
