Freely’s next upgrade will bring 16 new free channels to the streaming service – here’s the full list

• Freely is gearing up to bring 16 new channels from broadcasters ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5
• In addition to the new channels, Everyone TV announced new integrations with VIDAA FAST channels with the Freely TV Guide
• The new channels are expected to arrive later this year, but no official date has been announced

Since it launched in early 2024, the streaming service Freely has provided UK consumers with a hybrid variety of on-demand and live TV viewing, and now that we’re coming up to its one-year anniversary, what better way to celebrate than by welcoming new channels exclusive to the platform.

Today (April 16) Everyone TV, the company that runs Freely, announced a new collection of 16 new channels coming to the free streaming service which is supported by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5. Its new channels are set to arrive later this year, though a date is yet to be confirmed.

The new channels will group shows from ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 into one place for easy access. For example, the new channel The Chase will exclusively air content related to the popular game show, 4Reality will show popular reality shows such as Married At First Sight, and 4Life will be dedicated to showing food, travel, and animal programming.

With the new channels arriving this year that will take Freely’s grand total of live channels up to 55 in addition to its 70,000+ hours of on-demand titles. But it won’t stop there, as the service has promised that this number will continue to grow as the streaming platform evolves.
