Many bemoan that the sports experience is lacking for those that cut the cord and ditch their cable subscription. Not only do I strongly disagree, but I find more value for those that watch sports without cable TV.
I can have live access to every out of market NFL, NHL, MLB, and NBA game and still save compared to the average cable TV subscription.
Of course, black-out rules apply to nationally televised games and games within your local teams viewing area. However, solutions also exist for those that want to watch their local teams which I’ll cover in this article. Read on to learn how to watch sports without cable by crafting the ultimate sports entertainment streaming package.
Live Sports Streaming
There are a few Streaming Services that provide a decent amount of live sports programming. I’ll go over those in this section. The rest of the article after that will break down services based on various sports.
Best Live Sports Streaming
FuboTV does a great job of providing the most Sports Networks. For $44.99 for the first month and $54.99 each month after, they provide access to CSN, NBCSN, FS1, FS2, NBA TV, beIN Sports (1-10), USA, Big Ten Network (BTN), Fox Soccer Plus, Golf Channel, Olympic Channel, Eleven Sports and more. They also provide other cable TV favorites like TBS, TNT, A&E, History Channel, HGTV, and The Weather Channel to name a few.
The service also provides a website that will break down which games and matches you can watch through their service. It’s broken down by sport. Here is an example of their NFL Page. It even allows you to record sporting events on their cloud DVR.
I find it a great value. You can see for yourself through this 1-week free trial.
Other Sports Streaming Services
Hulu Live TV: Hulu Live TV lets you watch ESPN without cable. They also provide access to ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPN-U, FS1, FS1, Regional Sports Networks, and more. The service starts at $45 per month. Give their service a try. There is no contract so you can cancel any time.
Sling TV: Sling TV is another streaming service that offers networks found on cable and satellite TV. They offer ESPN as well as a way to watch FS1 online. However, as you will see, they are offered through different packages. I recommend checking out the rest of the article for more on what Sling TV has to offer.

NASCAR without Cable
Unfortunately, NASCAR doesn’t offer a live streaming service yet. However, many of the big races air on Fox and NBC, so all you need is a TV Antenna. You can also check out the NASCAR YouTube Channel as they upload all their races within a Week of the live event.
Golf without Cable
The TV antenna is where you will watch most big PGA Tour events. You can also catch live streaming of the Tour on the official PGA website, but they are mostly the events that are available over the air. You may want to pick up Sling TV to catch the Tournaments that air on ESPN and they now offer the Golf Channel, you can sign up for a free trial here.
Black-Out Rules
Black-outs are based on your location. You can easily change your devices perceived location using a Smart DNS or VPN. SmartDNS from Overplay routes your internet traffic through a DNS proxy, making it look as though you are based in another location.
VPN Services like IP Vanish allows you to join virtual networks available at various locations to make regionally blocked content available as well, but have added security and encryption benefits. I go into more detail in my article on how to find the best VPN for your specific needs.
In another article, I cover the difference between VPN and Smart DNS technologies. Check them out for more information.
While this may seem complicated, both IP Vanish and Overplay walk you through the setup on various devices and makes using their services simple for everyday users that don’t want to get bogged down in technical details.

Sports channels are television speciality channels (usually available exclusively through cable and satellite) broadcast sporting events, usually live, and when not broadcasting events, sports news and other related programming.
The first sports channel was from the SportsChannel networks, which went on the air in 1977 with the original SportsChannel (now MSG Plus). ESPN began broadcasting in 1979. Since then, many channels have surfaced around the world, many focusing on one sport in particular, or one region of a country, showing only their local team's games. These networks have greatly improved the availability of sports broadcasts, generating opportunities such as the ability for one person to see every single game their team plays over the course of the season.
In the United States, these channels broadcast most regular season games of major pro sports league and many other sports as well, with over the airtelevision networks stepping in during the weekends or special events (all-star games, championships, etc.).
