Without cable, on the go and out of market
Without cable
Any live TV streaming service replaces cable. What decides it for local sports is whether the service carries the regional network, and only DIRECTV Stream and Fubo carry MSG Networks.
On your phone
DIRECTV Stream subscribers can watch in the DIRECTV Stream app. Regional networks usually only stream inside the team’s home area.
Blackouts and out of market
Local networks are limited to the home territory, and some national games are exclusive to one network. Out-of-market fans use MLB.TV, NBA League Pass, NHL Center Ice or NFL Sunday Ticket, each with its own blackout rules.
