Sports Illustrated announced today the official launch of its free streaming channel, SI TV. The channel will bring sports fans original programming, live events, sports lifestyle and archival content.
“SI TV is a new platform for what SI has always done: tell the best stories in sports with authoritative voices and unique access,” said 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.”

Today, Sports Illustrated announced that the channel is also available on Amazon FireTV, DIRECTV, Sling Freestream, Anoki LiveTVx, LocalNow, Sports.tv, Tablo TV, DistroTV, Free Live Sports and will be launching soon on The Roku Channel (aff).
