Free TV app in the palm of your hand!

If you want to turn your Smart TV or cell phone into an entertainment center without paying anything, this text is for you. There are several free TV apps that operate legally, with a good variety of live channels, movies, series, sports and news — all of this without having to put your hand in your pocket.

And we're not talking about pirated apps, no. They are serious, reliable and 100% free platforms, available in most official stores (Google Play, App Store, Amazon, etc.). With them, you can watch everything without a subscription, credit card, or trial period.

1# Pluto TV

THE Pluto TV is one of the most popular and widely used free apps worldwide. It's owned by Paramount and offers an incredible number of live channels—over 100 options, including:

  • Movies 24 hours a day
  • Complete series (Naruto, South Park, CSI, etc.)
  • Comedy, cooking, reality show channels
  • Children's content
  • And even sports and documentary channels

In addition to channels, the app also has a tab with movies and series on demand, like a Netflix in life — but for free. It's available for Smart TVs, cell phones, computers, Fire TV Stick and Roku.

2# Tubi

THE Tubi is another massive free app, with a catalog that includes over 50,000 movies and series. It's from Fox and works very well in Brazil and several other countries.

The Tubi difference:

  • Clean interface without excessive ads
  • Movies and series in HD
  • Titles divided by genre: action, drama, horror, comedy
  • Frequent catalog updates

And yes, it is completely free, without the need to create an account. You can download it at Smart TVs, Android and iOS phones, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV and even consoles like Xbox.

3# Plex

Many people know the Plex as an app for organizing videos and personal files. But what many people don't know is that it also has free live channels and a huge catalog of movies, series and TV shows.

In free Plex, you'll find:

  • Channels like Euronews, Reuters, People TV
  • Subtitled series and films
  • Cooking, technology and documentary shows

Plex is also available on most devices and is perfect for those who want to centralize everything in one place, with a modern look and no crashes.

4# DistroTV

Little known in Brazil, but very strong in the USA and Europe, DistroTV has been gaining ground for having a unique catalog. It offers more than 270 free channels, focusing on:

  • International news
  • Live music
  • Latin, Indian, African programs
  • Alternative sports
  • Cult and independent films

If you enjoy browsing less obvious channels and getting away from the "same old same old," this app is a pleasant surprise. Available for Smart TVs, smartphones, Roku, Fire TV and Apple TV.

5# Samsung TV Plus

Samsung TV users have a bonus: the Samsung TV Plus. It is a native app that is already installed on many of the brand's TVs, offering free live channels, focusing on:

  • Entertainment
  • Classic series
  • Reality shows
  • International news
  • Sports and lifestyle

You don't need to download anything or create an account. Just turn on your TV and go. It also works on some Samsung phones with updated Android.

If you use Samsung TV, it's worth exploring.

6# LG Channels

Just as Samsung has TV Plus, LG also has its own free channels app: LG Channels. And it is also native, that is, it is already pre-installed on many LG Smart TV models.

LG Channels offers:

  • Live movie, series and music channels
  • International variety, with programming in several languages
  • Interface very similar to traditional pay TV

It's a great option for those who have an LG and want instant access to open and themed channels, without having to download an external app or register.

Do these apps work in any country?

It depends. Some like Pluto TV, Tubi and Plex operate globally, but with different catalogs depending on the region. Others, such as Samsung TV Plus and LG Channels, work on specific TV models with an updated system.

If you are outside of Brazil and want to access a specific catalog, you can even use VPN, but even without that, all the apps mentioned have free content available without limitation.
