Relax With Your TV Favorites All Season Long
Giving the gift of DIRECTV to yourself and your family will crown you holiday royalty because it comes in a variety of sizes to fit every type of TV watcher, from reality TV bingers to die-hard sports fans. Explore all the reasons why DIRECTV will reward entertainment-lovers all season long.
The Gift That Keeps on Giving
The holidays are a perfect time to treat yourself and your family to better, easier entertainment at home. And with DIRECTV’s range of options, from full packages to focused Genre Packs™ to totally free viewing, you can choose the viewing experience that feels like the right gift for your household.
Signature Packages
If you’re looking to treat yourself (or your whole household) to a smoother, smarter TV experience, DIRECTV’s Signature packages are where flexibility meets substance. With four base plans starting at $49.99/mo. plus fees for the first month1, there’s an option for every kind of viewer. New customers also get a five-day free trial, making it easy to test-drive the lineup before settling in.
Each package includes the best of live TV, local networks (where available), and a stacked lineup of streaming perks. Even the Entertainment package—the base plan—brings 90+ channels featuring ABC, ESPN, and Bravo, plus:
- Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) included2
- ESPN Unlimited access2
- 130+ MyFree DIRECTV channels
- Unlimited Cloud DVR recording
- Unlimited in-home streams
- Special offers on premium networks that make upgrading effortless
And with no annual contracts, you can add or remove packages whenever you want. It’s all the perks of cable, without being locked into one.
Genre Packs™
For a season that’s all about getting exactly what you want, DIRECTV’s Genre Packs make it simple to personalize your TV your way. Instead of paying for filler channels, you can build around the categories you actually watch.
The five base packs (MyKids, MyEntertainment, MiEspañol, MyNews and MySports ) start at $19.99/mo. (plus tax), and most include top-tier streaming services at no extra cost:
- MySports™ includes ESPN
- MyEntertainment™ includes Disney+, Hulu and HBO Max
- MyKids™ includes Disney+
- MiEspañol™ includes ViX Premium
Mini Packs like MyHome Team™, MySports Extra™, and MyCinema™ can layer on even more depth starting at $9.99/mo. when added to a Genre Pack. Whether you’re keeping kids entertained during winter break or staying tuned in to holiday matchups and headlines, these packs ensure you’re paying for the content your household actually cares about, with no annual contract required.
MyFree DIRECTV
And if you want to dip a toe in before gifting yourself something bigger, MyFree DIRECTV delivers premium accessibility with zero strings attached. This free ad-supported TV (FAST) platform offers 130+ live and on-demand channels with no bills, no contracts, and no hardware required. Available nationwide on web, mobile and select smart TVs, it gives you the DIRECTV experience through curated FAST channels and an ever-growing on-demand library.
In a season when most gifts come with a price tag, My Free DIRECTV is the rare exception; more entertainment, zero cost and no strings attached.
Streamsgiving
Streamsgiving arrives as DIRECTV’s holiday gift to anyone who’s been busy shopping for everyone else: a 5-day free trial of Genre Packs that lets new customers unwrap a little extra entertainment for themselves. Whether your household leans toward sports, entertainment, kids’ shows, news or Spanish-language programming over the holidays, Streamsgiving is an easy way to try it all during one of the most watch-heavy weeks of the year. And that flexibility travels with you:
- at home (more options to match every guest, mood or moment),
- in transit (the DIRECTV app keeps your shows close even when you’re far from home), and
- across the country through DIRECTV for Business® locations that keep live TV within reach wherever the holidays take you.
And in a gesture that embodies the season even more, DIRECTV is donating $50,000 to Ronald McDonald House Global as part of Streamsgiving, because Ronald McDonald House provides the gift of togetherness when families need it most. It’s a reminder that some gifts are meant to be shared, even during the busiest time of the season.
