DISH channel lineups FAQ

How much is the basic DISH package?

Flex Pack, DISH’s channel-skinny base package, starts at $57.99 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 58 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?

You can add HBO Max to your DISH channel package for $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?

  • Fox Sports 1
  • Fox Sports 2
