Samsung TV Plus started as an ad-supported free streaming (FAST) service where users can enjoy a variety of content for free. In December last year, it launched a VOD service, allowing access to over 1,000 pieces of content. On July 7th, it broadcasted live the first birthday celebration of the country's first twin pandas, Ruibao and Huibao, marking the first live streaming service on a domestic FAST channel.

The 'Hanwha Classic 2024' tournament will also be the first live sports broadcast on a domestic FAST channel.

Samsung TV Plus continues to strengthen various sports content, including golf-related channels such as the PGA Tour, JTBC Golf, and TV Chosun Golf King, as well as baseball, soccer, and volleyball. On Samsung TV Plus, viewers can watch diverse sports content such as Choi Kang Baseball, FIFA+, Mungchyeoya Chanda, and Pink Dream 175.

Choi Yong-hoon, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business, said, "Through Samsung TV Plus, we are presenting live sports broadcasts for the first time on a domestic FAST platform. We plan to offer more games and entertainment that many sports fans can enjoy together, including golf."
