For those on the hunt for their fix of sport and understanding where to find it, getting to grips with what a regional sports network is, can be a good place to start.

Among the most popular regional sports networks in the USA are:

  • Bally Sports
  • NBC Sports Regional Networks
  • AT&T Sports Networks
  • Spectrum Sports
  • MSG Network
  • Marquee Sports Networks

There are also many more, many of which can be accessed through TV streaming packages.

Which teams are available on Regional Sports Networks?

For most fans, it's all about finding the regional sports network that the teams they love feature on.

Of course, that's a long list, but one that doesn't take too long to find your team, whether you're fanatical about the NBA's OKC or need your fix of the Texas Rangers.

    Fubo

    Fubo will provide you with access to the vast majority of regional sports networks, and within the Pro price plan too, the cheapest available from the brand.

    This comes in at $79.99 per month and includes over 169 different channels, not only including regional sports networks like the NBC and Bally sports networks, but also many national sports channels and networks, such as NBC, CBS and ESPN.

    There are larger packages, which provide access to even more sports channels. The Elite package, priced at $89.99 per month offers over 240 different channels, while the Premier package, which also includes many Spanish-language channels, is priced at $99.99 per month for around 290 different channels.

    DirecTV

    DirecTV carries the most regional sports networks, with the Choice package the cheapest option for you.

    However, this is slightly more expensive than Fubo at $84.99 per month. For that, you'll get over 105 channels, including a large sport offering. ESPN, the NFL Network, Fox Sports 1 and many college sports channels such as the ACC Network.

    You can increase the amount of sport you get with further packages, adding the likes of Fox Sports 2 and CBS with the Ultimate and Premier packages, which are priced at $109.99 and $154.99 per month respectively.

    It's worth noting that, DirecTV does not carry NBC Sports Philadelphia.

  • Hulu logo

    Hulu+ Live TV

    It is possible to receive selected regional sports networks through Hulu+ Live TV but this is much more limited than DirecTV and Fubo, while also costing a similar amount to the latter.

    It's priced at $75.99 per month and does give you access to the NBC Sports Network and SportsNet NY.

    These are the only regional sports networks available, but they are joined by a good range of sports channels which includes ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS, ABC and the likes of the ACC Network and SEC Network, so if you're after one of the NBC regional sports channels, it could still be worth considering.

  • The bottom line: The package you should go with for regional sports networks

    Ultimately, both Fubo and DirecTV are solid and closely matched options for regional sports networks. You're most likely to find the sports network that serves your region while at the same time receiving a wealth of national sports channels too.

    Fubo is slightly cheaper, but does have more regional sports channels missing, and has more sports channels available without the need for upgrading, so perhaps just about edges it on this occasion.

  • Streaming regional sports networks FAQs

    Can I stream regional sports networks outside of the region they serve?

    When you sign up to Fubo or DirecTV, the regional sports networks you receive are based upon the home zip code you register with. You'll then be able to watch all the regional sports networks that broadcast within that area.

    It is possible to watch them outside of the region when you log-in as it is based upon your home address rather than your current geographical location.

    Does Sling offer regional sports networks?

    Sling doesn't currently provide access to regional sports networks, so you will not be able to access any of the channels mentioned above by subscribing to Sling.
