Best online streaming service for live sports in Maryland
With Maryland a state that prides itself on its NFL teams, sports fans will need access to a range of national sports channels, meaning DirecTV Stream and Fubo are the best online streaming services for residents here.
Both are larger scale packages, with prices starting from around $80 per month. However, what you get with those means there's very little else you need to not only get your fix of sport, but the likes of entertainment, news and movies too.

Fans in Maryland who want to watch the Orioles will need access to the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, a channel owned jointly by the Orioles and Washington Nationals.
All games not televised by national broadcasters can be watched here, with it available through both Fubo and DirecTV Stream.
You'll need either the Pro Plan or Choice package, respectively, with both also giving you access to the likes of FOX Sports and ESPN national broadcasts.
TBS/Max and TNT also have the rights to 26 Tuesday night games, which you can't access through Fubo, but can be found on the Choice DirecTV Stream package.
How to watch Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders without cable
NFL broadcast rights are split across several national broadcasters, so if you're looking to watch and live stream the Washington Commanders or Baltimore Ravens, you'll need access to CBS Sports Network, ESPN, FOX, ESPN and Prime Video.
Fubo gives you the best access to this with the cheapest package, although you'd need a separate subscription to Prime Video, which shows 15 Thursday night games throughout the season. The Pro plan gives you access to all the channels above for $79.99 per month, as well as the likes of the NFL Network.
