Where to Stream

Every game The Precedent lists shows its TV channel. If you stream instead of using a cable or satellite box, this page shows which app carries that channel and which plan you need. Find the channel in the first column.

The apps

Paramount+ (Premium plan)

CBS

Premium carries your live local CBS station, so every game on CBS. The cheaper Essential plan still has NFL games on CBS, but not the rest of your local CBS station.

ESPN app (ESPN Unlimited plan)

ABC, ACC Network, ACC Network Extra, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, NFL Network, SEC Network, SEC Network+, The CW

Unlimited has every ESPN channel, the SEC and ACC Networks and their streaming-only games (SEC Network+, ACC Network Extra), NFL Network, ESPN's games on ABC, and The CW's college football. It doesn't carry your local ABC or CW station as a channel.

ESPN app (ESPN Select plan (or Unlimited))

ESPN+

Games listed as ESPN+ need only the cheaper Select plan, which replaced the old ESPN+ subscription. Select does not include SEC Network+ or ACC Network Extra.

Disney+ or Hulu app (with an ESPN plan in the bundle)

Disney+, Hulu

Some ESPN games also show up inside the Disney+ and Hulu apps for bundle subscribers. The ESPN app has the full set.

Fox One (any plan)

Big Ten Network, FOX, FOX Deportes, FS1, FS2

Fox One has your local Fox station, FS1, FS2, the Big Ten Network and Fox Deportes. It replaced the Fox Sports app on TVs.

HBO Max (Standard or Premium plan)

TBS, TNT, truTV

Live sports from TNT, TBS and truTV (college basketball, the NHL) are not on the Basic with Ads plan. Most games on those channels stream, but not every one, and NBA games are no longer on HBO Max.

Peacock (Premium plan)

NBC, NBCSN, Peacock

Premium has NBC's games and Peacock's own, including the NBA games shown on NBCSN. The cheaper Select plan has no live sports.

Peacock (Premium plan)

Telemundo

Many Spanish-language Premier League matches on Telemundo also stream on Peacock.

Apple TV (Apple TV subscription)

Apple TV

Every MLS match, playoffs included, is part of the regular Apple TV subscription since 2026. The old MLS Season Pass is gone.

B1G+ (B1G+ subscription)

B1G+

Big Ten games that aren't on TV. Games on the Big Ten Network itself are on Fox One.

MW+ (MW+ subscription)

MW+

The Mountain West's own service for games that aren't on TV.

A live TV service (YouTube TV, Fubo, Sling, Hulu + Live TV or DirecTV Stream)

CBS Sports Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, Universo, USA Network

These channels are not in any single network's app. A live TV streaming service carries them; check that your plan includes the channel (some, like NBA TV and NHL Network, are in a sports add-on).

NBA League Pass (League Pass (NBA app))

NBA League Pass

Every NBA game outside your home area that isn't on ESPN, ABC, NBC, Peacock or Prime Video, NBA TV included. Your local team's games are blacked out live where they are on local TV; national games come the next morning.

Good to know

• Local channels (CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, The CW) depend on where you live. An antenna gets them free.
• A channel's app doesn't always carry every game on that channel, and some games are blacked out in some areas.
• Apps change their plans and prices often. Check the app before you subscribe.
