Authorized DIRECTV Stream dealerWatch the Chicago Bulls outside Chicago
Moved away, or just a fan from afar? Here is exactly how Bulls games reach you when you live outside the Chicago area, and what it costs.
Inside Chicago versus everywhere else
In the Chicago area, most Bulls games are on Chicago Sports Network (DIRECTV Stream channel 665), included with DIRECTV Stream Choice or MySports + MyHome Team. Outside that area the network is not sold, so the games move to NBA League Pass.
- Out of market: NBA League Pass, $109.98 for the season, billed $36.66 a month for three months
- National games: ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, Prime Video and NBA TV on DIRECTV Stream
- Playoffs: national broadcasts, no package needed
- Living in Chicago? See the local channel guide
How NBA League Pass works
Add NBA League Pass to any DIRECTV Stream package or Genre Pack; it works on streaming and satellite.
Regular-season out-of-market games only. Nationally televised games and games inside your home area are blacked out on League Pass. Full NBA League Pass guide
Bulls out-of-market questions
Straight answers. Anything else, ask our team.
Can I watch the Bulls if I live outside Chicago?
Yes. Regular-season games are on NBA League Pass ($109.98 for the season, billed $36.66 a month for three months), and national games are on ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock, Prime Video and NBA TV, all carried by DIRECTV Stream. Playoff games are national broadcasts wherever you live.
Is Chicago Sports Network available outside Chicago?
Live Bulls games on Chicago Sports Network are only sold inside the Chicago area, by ZIP code. Outside it, the DIRECTV Sports Pack may carry the network’s studio shows, but games follow league blackouts.
What is the cheapest way to watch the Bulls out of market?
NBA League Pass for the regular season plus a DIRECTV Stream package for the national games and playoffs. If you also follow a local team where you live, choose Choice or MySports + MyHome Team so its network is included too.
