Curious about Samsung TV Plus? If you’ve just bought a new Samsung TV, are seriously considering it, or are just now exploring every inch of your smart TV interface, you might be wondering what this free (yes, free) content service is all about.
•What is Samsung TV Plus? A free, ad-supported content service, available on Samsung TVs and (if you're in the US) your web browser. Despite similar naming conventions, it is not a paid subscription service in the vein of Disney Plus or Apple TV Plus
•When did it launch? Samsung TV Plus was created in 2015
•How many Samsung TV Plus channels are there? Varies between regions (more on this below)
•Can I remove Samsung TV Plus? You can’t delete the entire app from your Samsung TV, though you can remove individual channels within the app for a cleaner interface
•Is Samsung TV Plus free? You betcha. Save those coins for a new soundbar or something
•Is Samsung TV Plus the same as Rakuten TV? No. The TV Plus app does include some Rakuten TV channels, though.
Samsung TV Plus is now available in a total of 23 countries worldwide, after doubling the number of regions in an early 2021 expansion. That means you can now find it in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Thailand, and Korea (where it initially launched), as well as new additions of Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, India, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden.
If your region isn’t included in that list, you can’t access Samsung TV Plus. Sorry! Given the gradual expansion of the service, though, we would expect new territories to be included in the coming years – and Samsung tells us that more European countries will get the service in 2021.
You can find the Samsung TV Plus app by turning on the television and heading to the Samsung TV Plus icon on the home screen – it should be on the far left, in a fixed position rather than mixed with the third-party apps.
If you're in the US, you can also watch Samsung TV Plus on your favorite internet browser. Quietly launched in May 2021, the browser version of Samsung TV Plus is sadly not yet available worldwide, but if you're in the States, you can head to the Samsung TV Plus website to give the app a go without needing to own a Samsung smart device.
There are over 500 TV channels available worldwide through Samsung TV Plus, though you’ll only get a portion of that total in each region:
•US: 120
•Germany: 64
•Austria: 64
•Switzerland: 64
•UK: 49
The exact Samsung TV models that support Samsung TV Plus will, again, vary between regions, but you can count on it featuring on new and recent models.
We’re told by Samsung that all 2016-2020 smart TVs in the US, Europe and Thailand support the service, while those of you in Canada can access it on Samsung TVs made in 2017 onwards. In Samsung’s home nation of Korea, though, TVs as old as 2013 support the service.
New-for-2020 models like the Q950TS or Q80T QLED will come with dedicated Samsung TV Plus buttons on the TV remote, too – that is, in the US and Canada.
