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?

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 availble on DISH?

DISH carries plenty of channels for film buffs—including HBO Max, which is back at DISH after a years-long absence. DISH’s movie channels lineup and add-on packages include these favorites:

HBO Max

STARZ ENCORE (7 channels)
The Movie Channel (2 channels)
EPIX (4 channels)

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

What channels are included in the DISH package America’s Top 120?

ESPN
ESPN2
ESPNEWS

In addition to popular networks like A&E and Bravo, it has numerous sports channels, including NHL Network, NBA TV, and MLB Network. Music fans will appreciate more than 70 SiriusXM music channels.
