Here are several ways you can stream sports online
- Regional Sports Networks (RNSs)
If you are looking for a place to find live pro games, you can always rely on the regional sports network but they are mostly subjected to blackout restrictions.
Different streaming services grant you different RNAs access. For instance, AT&T TV is the only streaming service that has Bally sports.
- Major Cable Networks
Unlike the regional sports networks, major cable networks are easy to find on streaming services.There is no restriction blackout on major cable networks because they are broadcasted across the United States of America.
- Local Networks
This network streams plenty of college games and pro leagues like NHL, MLB, NBA, and NFL.Watching a local network may require a digital television antenna but sling TV, YouTube TV, and some other streaming service can grant you access to local networks.
- Pro sports channels
This service is good for showing out-of-the-market games as well as sports highlights and analyses.
One example of a Pro Sports channel is NBA TV. All these networks require a streaming service to function.
