Sports are the main reason many people keep cable. Here is how to follow your teams without it.
The challenge
US sports are spread across broadcast networks, cable sports channels, regional sports networks and individual streaming apps. Following one team can mean paying for several services.
Your options
- Antenna: free games on local broadcast networks.
- League passes: great for out-of-market games, but local games are often blacked out.
- Streaming apps: some leagues have exclusive games on specific apps.
- IPTV: many sports channels in one place, including international leagues and PPV events.
Game-day setup
- Use a wired connection for big games.
- Open the channel a few minutes before the start.
- Create a "Sports" favourites group.
- Choose Premium for 4K where available.
