How to Stream Bally Sports to Watch NBA and NHL Games Online Without Cable During 2021-22 Season
The start of the NBA and NHL season is rapidly approaching and if your team plays on one of the Bally Sports Regional Sports Network or YES Network, you used to have a number of options to stream your favorite team.
Since August 2019, Sling TV, fuboTV, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV dropped them from their Live TV Streaming Service.
If you want to stream your favorite NHL or NBA team, how can you watch them without signing-up for cable? While Sinclair hopes to launch a direct-to-consumer service mid-2022, that won’t do you any good for the 2021-22 NBA and NHL seasons.
Fortunately, there is still one option to stream Bally Sports RSNs on Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, iOS, Android, and your computer.
DIRECTV STREAM (No Contract) Plans
DIRECTV STREAM (previously AT&T TV) is the only Live TV Streaming Service that offers Bally Sports RSNs and YES Network.
If you live in an an area where Bally Sports is available, sign-up for their $84.99 DIRECTV STREAM CHOICE™ Plan to get 90+ channels including your local Bally Sports RSN, NBA TV, and MLB Network. If you upgrade to their $94.99 DIRECTV STREAM ULTIMATE Plan, you will also get NHL Network.
For those in other markets, they also carry MSG, Spectrum SportsNet, Altitude, AT&T SportsNet Southwest, [AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh], AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, ROOT Sports Northwest, Marquee Sports Network, and MASN. You can visit directv.com/stream/ to see what RSNs are available in your area.
Can You Just Use Bally Sports App?
When you (or someone in your household) subscribes a cable, satellite, or streaming bundle, you will get access to the Bally Sports App, if your Bally Sports RSN is included in your service.
The Bally Sports App allows those with TV Everywhere Authentication to watch games, with features like rewind and view replays, search for enhanced statistics and programming, access programming from the RSNs, and news coverage of the team.
With Bally Sports App, you will get access to live games of your local Bally Sports RSN. This will work on your streaming player like Apple TV, Fire TV, and Roku – or your mobile device.
However, right now, there is no way to sign-up for Bally Sports App without a cable, satellite, or streaming subscription, so you will have to hope someone in your family does.
What Bally Sports RSNs Carry Local Sports Teams?
Bally Sports Regional Sports Networks broadcasts local telecasts of 14 MLB teams, 17 NBA teams and 13 NHL teams.
