Samsung is enhancing its Samsung TV Plus streaming service, recently adding free rugby games for all users. This service is available in both the US and the UK. To access these games, viewers need to select the RugbyPass TV FAST Channel, where they can enjoy various rugby-related content at no cost. However, it’s worth noting that the service is ad-supported, meaning users will encounter advertisements while watching.
This model of combining free content with advertising is common across many streaming platforms today. Users of Samsung TV Plus are already familiar with other ad-supported channels, making this addition a natural progression. Major streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and Disney Plus also utilize this approach, which has become a standard in the industry. For rugby enthusiasts, the appeal of free access to rugby content may outweigh the inconvenience of watching a few ads.
The RugbyPass TV FAST channel recently launched in the UK, allowing viewers there to access a range of rugby content immediately. In contrast, viewers in the US will have to wait a bit longer for the channel’s debut. Samsung, in partnership with World Rugby, has confirmed that the rugby content is set to launch in the US shortly after its UK release. The available content will feature a diverse array of offerings, including Rugby Sevens, original documentaries and series, classic matches, and detailed analyses.
This variety ensures that rugby fans will have ample viewing options once the channel becomes accessible in the US.
