Those with a need for speed have something new to celebrate. Speedvision, the iconic automotive entertainment network, is now available on VIZIO WatchFree+ (channel 1315), bringing its signature lineup of high-octane shows to VIZIO smart TVs and the VIZIO mobile app…and it’s all completely free.

VIZIO’s WatchFree+ platform, which now features over 300 live channels and 25,000+ on-demand movies and series, is the latest home for Speedvision’s car-centric content. From gearhead garage builds and collector car auctions to vintage restoration and motorcycle mayhem, Speedvision delivers more than 700 hours of programming dedicated to engines and adrenaline.

“The Speedvision viewer is drawn to the highest performing machines and technology on the market, whether that be vehicles or televisions,” said Speedvision President and CEO Robert Scanlon in the official announcement. “Our audience is naturally drawn to the quality and performance of VIZIO televisions, so it’s a perfect fit.”

What Is Speedvision?

Launched originally in the 1990s and revived in 2022, Speedvision is the network that helped define automotive lifestyle programming. It’s known for compelling storytelling, industry-respected hosts, and premium production values. The current lineup includes fan favorites like Stacey David’s Gearz, AmeriCarna, Caffeine and Octane, Two Guys Garage, Truck U, and Helping Hands Garage, as well as aviation and motorcycle content.

Speedvision’s expert host roster includes big names like Wayne Carini, Bill Goldberg, Ant Anstead, Ray Evernham, and Chris Jacobs, making it a go-to destination for viewers who live and breathe all things motorized.

Where Else Can You Watch?

With this VIZIO rollout, Speedvision is now streaming across 15 platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Google TV, Fubo, Xumo, MyFree DirecTV, Plex, Local Now, LG Channels, TCLtv+, Dish’s Sling Freestream, Anoki, FreeLiveSports, VIDAA, and Samsung TV Plus in the EU. But for those with a VIZIO smart TV or the free VIZIO app, WatchFree+ makes access instant. There’s no sign-up or subscription required.

Why It Matters to Cordcutters

For fans of horsepower and high-performance media, Speedvision on VIZIO’s WatchFree+ represents the perfect fusion of premium content and true cost-cutting. It’s another example of how the FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) movement is delivering quality niche programming to viewers who have ditched cable but still want access to compelling, specialty content.

As the competition heats up in the FAST lane, Speedvision’s presence on WatchFree+ ensures that automotive enthusiasts don’t have to pay to get the premium gearhead fix they crave.
