What Other Sports Does Monumental Sports Network Carry?
Monumental Sports Network has been busy since its rebranding from NBC Sports Washington in September. The network launched the aforementioned Monumental Sports Network app, which streams Washington Wizards, Capitals, and Mystics games directly to Washington sports fans — no cable subscription required.
The app employs a bunch of new features not available to those watching on linear platforms, including access to multiple camera angles, the ability to pause, rewind, and fast forward live games, 24/7 access to the Monumental Sports Network linear feed, new shows including “Hometown with Rachel Nichols” and much more. Now, DC sports fans have even more to watch with local college basketball.
