NBC has long had some of the premier sports and competitions from around the world and life without it can feel rather drab. It’s the home of Sunday Night Football, while also being the home of the Premier League and major events such as the French Open, Tour de France and the Olympic Games.

That’s just to name a few though, and across the year the live action comes thick and fast, making it well worth signing up for. Outside of cable, there are many ways in which you can live stream NBC Sports these days, and here’s all the information, packages and price points you need to know…

The best packages to watch NBC Sports channels in 2025

  • Fubo TV.Getty Images / GOAL

    Fubo

    Fubo is one of the biggest and best streaming platforms on the market currently, with the Pro package giving you what you need from $74.99 per month. That gives you 180 channels per month, including all the NBC Sports and regional channels mentioned above. The only one missing is SportsNet New York, with it recently being removed after failing to reach a deal.

    Alongside NBC Sports, NBC News Now and NBC Universo are also available, alongside many other channels within the network. Sports channels such as Fox Sports, ESPN and beIN Sports are also available with the Pro plan.

    There are other options to further your streaming needs, with the Elite package ($84.99 per month), offering 247 channels and over 130 different sporting events, while the Ultimate package is priced at $99.99 per month, providing 290 channels!

    DirecTV Stream

    Unlike Fubo, which doesn’t offer SportsNet New York, all regional channels are available on DirecTV, of which you’ll need the Ultimate package at $94.99 per month. This provides a wealth of channels, including NBC, NBC local channels, NBCLX, NBCSN, Telemundo and more.

    The choice of other sports channels is also pretty spectacular, including all ESPN channels across the network, CNBC, ABC, beIN Sports and the likes of NBA TV and the NHL and NFL Networks.

  • peacock-reviewPeacock

    Peacock

    While Peacock is the official streaming service of NBC, they currently do not host NBC's Regional Sports Network. Promises were made to include RSN's on Peacock but as yet sports fans and Peacock subscribers have been left in the dark as far as updates in this area go.

    National coverage from NBC Sports can, however, be found on Peacock where monthly subscriptions start from just $5.99 and annual subscriptions start from $59.99

  • The Bottom Line: The package you should go with for NBC Sports

    For those looking for NBC Sports, and in particular the regional sports networks, you’re going to be pretty well covered with the three streaming packages mentioned above. While Fubo doesn’t offer SportsNet New York, if you’re not a fan of the Mets or Jets, that’s not really a problem and its extensive offering of other channels more than makes up for it.

    With price points not too dissimilar per month, it’s worth exploring your options outside of the NBC channels and deciding based upon the volume of other channels within sport or your area of interest.

  • FAQsGOAL

    NBC Sports Streaming FAQs

    Why does Fubo not offer SportsNet New York?

    Unfortunately, SportsNet New York left Fubo on April 9, 2024 due to being unable to reach an agreement. However, it is still possible to watch the Mets and other teams via channels such as PIX11, ESPN, Fox and the MLB Network on Fubo, depending on location.

    Can I watch regional sports networks outside of a region?

    The regional sports networks from NBC are only available to watch through streaming platforms if you are in the areas mentioned within the table above. If you are streaming from outside, this means you are unable to watch. So, for example, if you are living in San Francisco, you’ll be unable to stream NBC Sports Philadelphia, but you would be able to stream NBC Sports Bay Area and NBC Sports California.

    Are there blackout rules in place on certain sports with Fubo, DirecTV and Hulu+ Live?

    As some of the content available across the packages above are taken from standard terrestrial and cable broadcasts in an area, there are some instances where certain sports, matches and leagues may be unavailable and will be subject to blackout rules, preventing you from watching a stream.
