Skip to contentLet’s be honest for a moment. The way we watch Smart TV has changed completely. Not long ago, you had a handful of channels, a printed TV guide, and that was it. Today? Your smart TV can show you thousands of channels from all over the world – if you know where to look.
In 2026, the Smart TV experience is more flexible, more affordable, and more exciting than ever before. Let’s walk through what’s happening and how you can get the most out of your smart TV.
🎯 What’s New on Smart TVs in 2026?
Free ad-supported channels are everywhere.
One of the biggest trends right now is the explosion of FAST channels – Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television. These are live channels you can watch without any subscription, supported by commercials.
In July 2026, ABC Commercial launched four new FAST channels on LG Smart TVs across several markets, including Sweden. The channels – ABC Entertains, ABC Everyday, ABC Factual, and ABC Kids – are now available in the Nordic countries alongside the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Singapore. For Swedish viewers, this means more free content directly on your LG TV, with no extra fees.
FAST is gaining momentum. As Samsung highlighted at CES 2026, audiences are recalibrating what they value in television, and free ad-supported channels are becoming a major part of that shift. Samsung is actively working to shape a TV ecosystem that delivers value for viewers, creators, and advertisers alike.
📡 The Most Popular For Smart TV Streaming Services in Sweden
According to the latest rankings, Swedish viewers have clear favorites when it comes to streaming and online TV:
| Rank | Service |
|---|---|
| 1 | YouTube |
| 2 | svt.se |
| 3 | SVT Play |
| 4 | Netflix |
| 5 | TV4 Play |
SVT Play and TV4 Play remain the top Swedish streaming apps, consistently ranking as the most popular entertainment apps in the country. These platforms give you access to a wide range of Swedish channels, news, and original productions – all directly on your smart TV.
TV4 Play is particularly noteworthy. Described as “Sweden’s largest TV service,” it offers Swedish and international movies and series, news broadcasts, popular programs, and world-class sports. With a free account, you can access a wide selection of content, and an upgraded account unlocks even more.
Travelxp 4K also expanded its presence in Sweden in 2026, launching on Telia Play with fully localized Swedish content exploring destinations, cultures, cuisine, and experiences from around the world – all in native 4K HDR.
💡 How Smart TV Viewing Is Changing
Viewing habits are becoming more fragmented.
Younger viewers are leading this change, using an average of 21 percent more apps than other age groups. They move fluidly between different streaming services, and the traditional “one TV, one channel” experience is becoming a thing of the past.
Linear TV still has its place, but streaming is growing.
On Samsung TVs, 24 percent of devices make up 81 percent of all linear viewing – meaning a relatively small group of viewers still watches traditional scheduled TV. Meanwhile, 27 percent of Samsung TVs are used exclusively for streaming, never for linear TV at all.
Smart TV platforms are becoming gatekeepers.
Roku now powers 37 percent of streaming TV viewing environments, followed by Fire TV at 17 percent. These platforms are increasingly important for how viewers discover and access content. At the same time, smart TV operating systems like Tizen (Samsung) and WebOS (LG) are redefining viewer engagement, merging television with interactive, immersive experiences.
The TV is becoming more than just a TV.
Industry experts describe the television as transitioning from a single-purpose device into “a more general purpose device in the home.” Voice AI, interactive apps, and second-screen experiences are rewriting what happens in the living room. Netflix party-style games are already ranking third in app store downloads. The smart TV is becoming a hub for entertainment, gaming, and even home management.
