Pluto TV Drops Two New Free Channels in 2026—Here’s the Full Lineup & How to Start Streaming

Pluto TV, the free ad-supported streaming service owned by Paramount Global, has unveiled a packed February 2026 lineup filled with fresh pop-up categories, brand-new 24/7 channels, and hundreds of incoming movies and series that arrive just in time for Valentine’s viewing marathons and Black History Month celebrations. Pop-up hubs that dominate the app’s top carousel this month include: • The Black Collective (Jan 30–Mar 2) – a takeover featuring BET Pluto TV, AllBlk Gems, Black Family Sitcoms and on-demand rows for Black Cinema, Black Visionaries and Black Romance. • Valentine’s Day (Feb 2–16) – a hand-curated mix of Hallmark Movies & More, The Love Boat marathons, classic rom-com films and reality dating guilty pleasures. Four completely free, always-on channels join the EPG: 1. S.W.A.T. – every episode of the hit CBS series streaming around the clock (Feb 1). 2. Boruto – the next generation of Naruto launches mid-February with subbed and dubbed episodes. 3. Pluto TV Love Stories – a 24/7 feed of comfort-food romances ranging from modern rom-coms to sweeping period dramas (live now). 4. World of Love Island – back-to-back seasons from the U.K., U.S., Australia and more, letting viewers binge island drama without a subscription. Movie nights get supersized with franchise drops: • Horror: the complete Scream saga plus the first eight Friday the 13th titles. • Action: all five Mission: Impossible films through Rogue Nation, the full Rambo trilogy and Gladiator. • Comedy comfort: Zoolander 1-2, Tropic Thunder, Beverly Hills Ninja, The Naked Gun trilogy. • Romance essentials: Sleepless in Seattle, Pretty in Pink, Across the Universe and Harold & Maude. Pluto TV is also leaning into prestige drama and sci-fi with Interstellar, Looper, Bottle Rocket, Good Will Hunting and Rocketman arriving in the free on-demand section later in the month. Series binges are equally beefy: 49 seasons of Survivor, early CSI and Criminal Minds runs, plus vintage classics like Perry Mason and Cheers. Why it matters for cord-cutters: with more than 250 themed channels and thousands of VOD titles, Pluto TV continues to be the largest FAST platform in North America. Seasonal content like Love Stories and World of Love Island is designed to spike engagement during February’s peak at-home viewing window, while culturally focused hubs such as The Black Collective reinforce the service’s reputation for inclusive, curated programming. Because Pluto TV remains completely free—relying on ads instead of subscriptions—it offers an attractive, zero-commitment alternative for viewers looking to trim paid streaming bills without sacrificing variety. How to watch: the February 2026 lineup is already rolling out on the Pluto TV app for smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS, Android and via web browsers; no sign-ups or credit cards are required. Users simply download the app, launch the channel guide and start streaming. Bottom line: between franchise film marathons, nostalgia-heavy sitcom seasons and two romance-centric channels built for date-night escapism, Pluto TV’s February slate proves the FAST juggernaut is still raising the bar for free streaming in 2026.
