United Airlines recently added TBS to its onboard streaming lineup from DISH, allowing travelers to catch nearly every Major League Baseball playoff game live onboard aircraft equipped with Starlink-enabled seatback screens.
Customers will have access on more than 200 aircraft. In addition to TBS, United offers live sports and other content from ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2, NFL Network and TNF on Prime Video.
The high-speed Starlink is free for MileagePlus members in every class of service.
United expects to complete installations of the ultra-fast Wi-Fi sometime next year.
"The speed and reliability of Starlink's inflight Wi-Fi is unmatched, which means sports fans can book United flights with confidence knowing they won't miss a play on flights with Starlink-enabled seatback screens," Andrew Nocella, United's Chief Commercial Officer, said in a statement.
"Quality inflight Wi-Fi is more important than ever to travelers, and because Starlink gives people the same—or better—connectivity in the sky than they can get at home, it's a reason to choose United," added Nocella.
Friday's announcement comes as United is offering a status match for American Airlines and Delta Air Lines loyalty program members.
