FanDuel TV Extra, a free streaming television (FAST) channel with advertising, is the company’s newest product. It is intended for sports fans who want live action in addition to betting options.
FanDuel TV Extra markets itself as a top choice for sports enthusiasts who are eager to watch and wager on sports at the same time by offering an abundance of live sports programming. The channel offers access through FanDuel’s own streaming service, FanDuel TV+, as well as platforms including Pluto TV and the Roku Channel. It has coverage of pokerStars tournaments, international basketball, football from the South Korean K-League, Professional Darts Corporation events, and more.
Kevin Grigsby, executive producer and senior vice-president at FanDuel, sees FanDuel TV Extra as a strategic move to attract new customers. Highlighting the importance of expanding distribution, Grigsby expressed plans to integrate the channel with additional FAST providers in the near future.
“Launching ‘FanDuel TV Extra’ was another important step in expanding distribution for FanDuel TV content and reaching new audiences,” stated Grigsby. “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.”
