DISH TV Guide and Channel Lineup

Q: How much is the basic DISH package?

Flex Pack, DISH’s channel-skinny base package, starts at $37.99 per month. It features 50 channels, a mix of popular networks and fillers that DISH will not-so-gently suggest you beef-up with an add-on package—because what’s another $10 on top of 38 bucks? Flex isn’t fully-loaded, but it’s one of the cheapest deals in satellite TV.

Q: Does DISH have NFL RedZone?

No. In June, the NFL pulled NFL RedZone—and the NFL Network—from DISH or its streaming service Sling TV. Cox, DIRECTV, fuboTV, Mediacom, Optimum, Spectrum, Verizon Fios, and Xfinity still carry both channels.

Customer rating (4.1/5)

TV Packages price: Starting at $42.99/mo.

Channel count: 50–290+

DISH channel lineups FAQ

How much is the basic DISH package?

Flex Pack, DISH’s channel-skinny base package, starts at $54.99 per month. It features 50 channels, a mix of popular networks and fillers that DISH will not-so-gently suggest you beef-up with an add-on package—because what’s another $10 on top of 55 bucks? Flex isn’t fully-loaded, but it’s one of the cheapest deals in satellite TV.

How much does it cost to add HBO® to a DISH package?

HBO and DISH aren’t getting along these days, so you can’t add the service for any price. Not having HBO available as an add-on isn’t as big a deal as it was years ago, however, thanks to stand-alone streaming service HBO Max ($15 per month).

What sports channels are available on DISH?

DIRECTV is generally thought of as the more sports-centric satellite TV brand, but DISH also offers a fair amount of ballin’ action. A few of the sports channels DISH carries include the following:

ESPN
ESPN2
NBA TV
MLB Network
NHL Network
FS1
FS2
FOX Soccer Plus
CBS Sports Network
beIN Sports
Pac-12 Network

Does DISH have NFL RedZone?

No. In 2020, the NFL pulled NFL RedZone—and the NFL Network—from DISH or its streaming service Sling TV. Cox, DIRECTV, fuboTV, Mediacom, Optimum, Spectrum, Verizon Fios, and Xfinity still carry both channels.

What movie channels are available on DISH?

While you can’t get HBO on DISH (yes, HBO still runs movies), it still carries plenty of channels for film buffs. DISH’s movie channels lineup and add-on packages include these favorites:

SHOWTIME (6 channels)
STARZ (8 channels)
STARZ ENCORE (7 channels)
The Movie Channel (2 channels)
EPIX (4 channels)
FXM
IFC
SundanceTV
HDNet
MoviePlex
IndiePlex
RetroPlex

What kids’ channels are available on DISH?

Don’t forget the little ones; they might look up from their phones and tablets occasionally to check out the big TV in the room. DISH’s kiddie programming includes these channels:

- Disney Channel
- Disney Jr.
- Disney XD
- Boomerang
- Nickelodeon
- Nick Jr.
- Nicktoons
- Cartoon Network
- Animal Planet
- Discovery Family
- PBS
