Right now, the Boston Bruins are one point out of the NHL Eastern Conference Playoffs with a month and a half still to play, and the Boston Red Sox are getting things going in spring training. So the regional sports network (RSN) that covers both teams (and much more) has decided that now is the perfect time to drop the news that it is adding a free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel to its lineup of coverage options. On Thursday, NESN announced the creation of NESN NATION, an around-the-clock free channel that will provide Boston fans nationwide with additional coverage of the teams and athletes that they love. The channel is currently available on a small handful of platforms with more coming and already has a host of programming planned for all of Bean Town’s favorite teams.

Key Details:

  • NESN is launching a FAST channel to cover the Bruins, Red Sox, Liverpool, and more.
  • The channel is available on four streaming platforms at launch, with one more planned in the coming weeks.
  • NESN NATION will feature games, gameday coverage, original content, and more.

At launch, NESN NATION is set to feature over 30 hours of weekly live and original programming, focusing on NESN’s flagship teams like the Red Sox and Bruins as well as the NESN-owned Liverpool FC. In addition, the FAST channel will cover women’s sports, New England Division III teams, and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The channel’s content will include live games, other live gameday content, press conferences, interviews, game analysis, sports gambling experts, specials, documentaries, video podcasts, and titles from NESN’s archive.

Currently, NESN NATION is available on Prime Video, Roku Channel, Plex, and Twitch, and will soon be arriving on Samsung TV Plus. For years, NESN has been at the forefront of RSN progress. The network was the first RSN to broadcast in HD and UHD, was the first to live stream MLB and NHL games in 4K/HDR, and was the first to launch a direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming service with NESN 360.

“Given sports fans unwavering demand for their favorite teams, we’re excited to expand our portfolio with our first FAST national channel that provides easy access to both our globally recognized brands as well as our award-winning content,” NESN President and CEO David Wisnia said. “NESN NATION will deliver a range of new, live and original programming and further our mission to provide a multitude of ways for fans to engage with our must see content.”

What original and licensed programming will be on NESN NATION?

  • Four live Red Sox spring training games will stream on NESN NATION via Prime Video, The Roku Channel, and other select participating platforms. Those contests will air on Feb. 23, March 2, March 9, and March 23. The games on March 9 and 23 will also be available on Samsung TV Plus.

  • Live streams of Boston Bruins morning and pregame skates, including upcoming morning skate dates on March 11 and March 17 and pregame skates on Feb. 25, March 4, and March 15.

  • “Unobstructed Views,” the alternate, commentary-driven Bruins game coverage show featuring Tuuka Rask, Patrice Bergeron, and Andrew Raycroft.

  • Live baseball analysis with “310 to Left Podcast.”

  • Six Athletes Unlimited women’s basketball games.

  • Postgame press conferences from professional teams.

  • Liverpool FC coverage, including a weekly three-hour block featuring match highlights, recaps, and analysis; plus team-produced behind-the-scenes content.

  • “Hockey Chowdah,” a unique half-hour mashup show featuring Bruins (Charlie Coyle, Brad Marchand, and Hampus Lindholm) and other professional athlete features to come.

  • Eight different video-enabled podcasts including “Boston Has Entered the Chat” and “Morning Bru.”

  • Original titles such as “Marchand at 1,000” and “A Century of Boston Bruins Hockey.”

  • Live game telecasts from select colleges.

  • Select programming from The BetMGM Network including “Bet Sweats” on Mondays and Fridays from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. ET.

  • “This Week in Hockey East,” a league-produced program previewing the most important games of the weekend.
