Yes — Alaska Airlines does offer in-flight entertainment, but with a specific format: instead of seat-back screens, passengers stream content to their own devices (tablet, laptop, smartphone) by connecting to the onboard WiFi network.
The entertainment library includes over 1,000 movies and TV episodes, and access is free (you don’t need to pay extra for the content, though you might need WiFi if you want full internet access).
Some of the smaller/regional aircraft (for example certain turboprops) may not have the system installed.
 
I actually wondered the same thing before my last Alaska Airlines trip. I’m one of those people who panics a little if I don’t have something to watch on long flights. From my experience, yes, Alaska Airlines does have inflight entertainment, but it’s mostly streaming-based. You connect to their onboard Wi-Fi and stream movies, TV shows, and even some live channels right to your phone or tablet.

Funny story — I only figured this out because I had to change my flight the night before traveling. I called 844-734-0813 to switch to an earlier departure after a work meeting got moved, and while the agent was walking me through the options, I asked if the aircraft I was switching to had any kind of entertainment. They were super helpful and even told me which seats had better access to power outlets so I could keep my iPad charged the whole way.

The flight itself was great, and the streaming library was surprisingly solid. So yep, Alaska definitely offers entertainment, but just make sure your device is charged and ready. And if you ever need to modify your booking or want to double-check what your aircraft has, that number — 844-734-0813 — is honestly the quickest way to get answers.
