Add or remove premium channels or streaming services to your DIRECTV account

Want more sports, more movies, or a hard-to-find show you love? Here’s how to add content to your DIRECTV service with add-ons.

What’s an add-on?
Add-ons are collections of channels offered by a single network or content provider like HBO Max, Showtime, Cinemax and many more that you can add to your DIRECTV account to be enjoyed on your TV or through the DIRECTV App.

They also include subscriptions to popular streaming services like Netflix, Peacock, Disney, and ESPN that you can enjoy on any compatible device. Most streaming services require registration or activation with the provider. After you sign up, DIRECTV will send you an email with everything you need to start streaming.

Subscribe to add-ons at DIRECTV.com

  1. Sign into your account and go to TV package.
  2. Scroll down to Add-ons.
  3. Explore, make a selection and follow the prompts.
  4. To remove an add-on, follow the steps above and select “Remove” on the add-on you no longer want.
