Find the right fit.
These are six services to evaluate, not a universal ranking. A bundle and a sports-only app solve different problems.
| Service | Useful for | Price / checkout | Check before buying |
|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube TV ↗ | Households comparing sports-focused and broader live-TV lineups | Sports Plan $64.99/mo; Sports + News $71.99/mo; main plan $82.99/mo before eligible offers | Verify exact plan and ZIP-code lineup; add-ons can cost extra |
| Hulu + Live TV ↗ | Households using both live television and the included entertainment apps | Advertised regular renewal $99.99/mo; eligible offer terms vary | Check local lineup, exact ESPN entitlement and billing eligibility |
| Fubo ↗ | Viewers comparing regional sports and national channel coverage | Get a current ZIP-code quote including applicable fees | Local and regional availability varies; verify every must-watch network |
| Sling ↗ | Viewers building a smaller combination around known channels | Essentials $19.99/mo; Orange & Blue from $60.99/mo; verify selected package | Package channel split, concurrent-screen rules and local-station limits matter |
| DIRECTV streaming ↗ | Sports-focused bundles or regional-team package comparison | Quote MySports or the exact Signature package for your ZIP code | Genre and Signature products differ; regional availability and extras need checking |
| ESPN direct ↗ | Viewers whose priority events are within ESPN’s portfolio | Select $13.99/mo or $139.99/yr; Unlimited $31.99/mo or $319.99/yr | Select and Unlimited are different; competing broadcasters are not a complete part of this product |
No single plan is a promise of every game.
National exclusives, local rights and out-of-market packages can require separate subscriptions. Use the season guide for your sport to identify the missing pieces.
