Hulu Live Sports: Everything You Need to Know

Hulu is an excellent streaming service for sports fans. With many live sports channels available, fans of the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, English Premier League, and more will be able to watch their favorite teams.

Your sports options will depend on which package you pay for. You should also know that the sports rights deals can also impact what games are available.

You can also access content on mobile devices through the Hulu app.

How much does Hulu cost?

Hulu Live TV costs $76.99 / month. That includes 33 of the top 35 cable channels. 105 total channels are included.

What sports channels are available in the Hulu Live basic package?

Hulu Live TV includes full access to all the national sports channels, such as ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, Fox Sports 2, TBS, TNT, and USA Network.

You also get local channels, including ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, Telemundo, and The CW, so any nationally televised games will be available.

When you sign up for Hulu, you’ll get Monumental Sports Network, NBC Sports Bay Area, NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports California, NBC Sports Chicago, NBC Sports Philadelphia, NBC Sports Philadelphia+, NBC Sports Washington+, and SportsNet NY.

Some of your ability to watch local sports may be hurt by the various fights involving Sinclair Broadcasting. Hulu has chosen not to carry any of the Bally Sports Networks because of their high carriage costs. If you need a Bally Sports Network, you’ll have to purchase AT&T TV.
