LONDON, UK – 3rd October, 2023 – Today, Samsung Electronics has announced a plethora of channels arriving on Samsung TV Plus. DAZN has joined the roster of international sporting brands now available in the UK, with two new channels, DAZN Women’s Football and DAZN Ringside, both free-to-view on Samsung devices.

Similarly, DAZN Ringside brings fans the best global fighters on one channel. Viewers can watch live fights, documentaries and over 300 hours of archive matches from champions across all weight divisions. The PGA TOUR channel also arrives this month – showcasing the best moments in golf through tournament recaps and re-airs, player profiles, and original content.
All three sports channels offer unprecedented access to these dynamic, evolving games and the athletes dedicated to excelling at them.
BBC Studios owned broadcaster UKTV has also joined the Samsung TV Plus line-up with four new, tailored channels: UKTV Play Laughs, UKTV Play Uncovered, UKTV Play Full Throttle and UKTV Play Heroes. These new additions are perfect TV for comedy lovers, super sleuths and detectives, petrolheads or anyone who loves exciting, emergency drama.
International news channel NBC News Now also joins the platform, delivering deep reporting, thoughtful storytelling, and live, breaking news from the United States and across the globe.

If young fans were glued to the edge of their seats for the World Cup Final, the new DAZN Women’s Football channel will continue to inspire the next generation of female players.”
