Sports Illustrated, the sports media platform, has announced the launch of SI TV, a FAST channel available 24/7 on many FAST services across the US.

The channel brings Sports Illustrated’s storytelling to a new platform, anchored in original programming, live events, sports lifestyle and archival content. From behind-the-scenes content from some of the most iconic Sports Illustrated cover shoots, to daily betting insights and the latest Mountain West Conference Network event coverage, SI TV will feature content from Sports Illustrated’s storied journalists and the athletes and sports properties they cover.

SI TV content is highlighted by docuseries, podcasts, live games, studio programming and more that take viewers behind the scenes of the world of Sports Illustrated and its global sports coverage. Viewers can also enjoy an exclusive look of the full broadcast of the Sportsperson of the Year awards ceremony featuring the honorees on SI TV.

The launch of SI TV builds on the growing momentum of its video programming. 2025 featured a 133 per cent year-over-year increase in views and a 162 per cent increase in watch time across SI YouTube content.

SI TV is available on Amazon FireTV, DirecTV, Sling Freestream, Anoki LiveTVx, Plex, LocalNow, Sports.tv, Tablo TV, DistroTV, Free Live Sports and launching soon on The Roku Channel. The development of the new streaming channel marks another innovation for Sports Illustrated’s editorial business while under editorial operator Minute Media.

“SI TV is a new platform for what SI has always done: tell the best stories in sports with authoritative voices and unique access,” commented Steve Cannella, Editor in Chief of Sports Illustrated. “We’re excited to expand that mission into the FAST space. From news-based analysis to longer-form storytelling, SI TV will feature our signature content in reimagined ways for new audiences.”
