But sometimes knowing where to look is the challenge, with various teams appearing across a number of local and major networks it's often hard to keep up with which channels or providers you need to get the most of your game time.

Thankfully, GOAL is on hand to provide you with all the information you need about how to follow your team on FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports).

Is FanDuel Sports Network worth it?

If you're passionate about watching your local MLB team, as well as following other regional sports teams in your area, the costs justify the amount of access and content you get - whether it's on a monthly or seasonal basis directly with the provider.

The best value for money package is the standalone deal for the season-only sub, which is just shy of $100. This will get you full access for the entire season but is a large upfront cost. However, for ultimate flexibility and a lower cost (and less strain on your wallet), the monthly no-commitment package for just under $20 is well worth considering.

If you are after a more complete TV package, then one of the fubo subscriptions will get you a few hundred other channels, as well as the FanDuel services included.

What else does fubo offer?

Fubo is considered a premium service provider and one of the best on the market, so sits on the pricier end for subscriptions across the board, at almost $100 monthly. However, it's a worthwhile investment if it fits your budget, both for Major League Baseball coverage and ease of access to your favorite team networks, as well a sa host of other content across hundreds of other channels.
