Houston Rockets & Houston Astros Games on AT&T SportsNet Southwest Can Now Be Live Streamed fuboTV

AT&T SportsNet Southwest, the TV home of the Houston Rockets and Houston Astros regional game telecasts, and Fubo, the Live TV Streaming Service, announced an agreement to bring live regular season games of both the Houston Rockets and Houston Astros, as well as other ancillary programing and behind the scenes content.

This is the first time the channel can be streamed on any vMVPD. Surprisingly, the channel is not available on AT&T-owned AT&T TV NOW. The deal will see the channel go live on Fubo in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and portions of New Mexico on February 11. The channel will be available as part of the base Fubo ($44.99) package after a 7-Day Free Trial.

“We are thrilled to announce this deal with fuboTV and give fans even more options to watch the Houston Rockets and Houston Astros in their home market,” said Nina Kinch, Vice President of Affiliate Relations for AT&T Sports Networks.

Fubo has been quietly becoming the leading carrier of Regional Sports Networks. They offer MSG & MSG+ in New York, NESN in Boston, and Fox Sports & NBC Sports RSNs around the country.

“fuboTV continues to offer more regional sports networks (RSNs) than any other vMVPD – and entering the Houston market has been a priority for us,” said Ben Grad, Head of Content Strategy and Acquisition for fuboTV.

With the addition of AT&T SportsNet Southwest to Fubo, there are only six RSNs not available via streaming — Altitude, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, MASN, Root Sports Northwest, and Spectrum SportsNet.
