How to Watch All Your Favorite Sports
TV and Streaming
Cable/Satellite: the most sports but cost more
Streaming: cheaper but need to hunt for plans with your sport/tourney
Whether you dig the MLB, NFL, NBA or major tournament soccer, traditional TV and streaming providers have plans that include most of them. If you're looking to save as much money as possible (and who isn't?), smaller streaming services give you the flexibility of subscribing for just the event. For example, if you want to catch the MLB playoffs on TBS and FOX, look for a provider with both channels and subscribe for those few weeks in October (spoiler alert, Sling TV is one option).

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there specialty streaming providers for sports?
Sure are. For example, Fanatiz focuses on Latino-American soccer tournaments (Argentinian, Brazilian, etc). Fubo is big on sports and soccer as well but costs a bit more. Other providers like Sling and DIRECTV Stream offer add-on packs that give you plenty of extra sports programming (MLB, NFL, etc).
Can I record live sports with streaming TV?
Yes. Your ability to record live sports is that same as with any other programming (limited by storage space, etc). A lot of TV and streaming providers also conveniently provide On Demand replays of big sporting events up to days after it airs.
What about the NFL Sunday Ticket?
Starting with the 2023 season, YouTubeTV won the rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket. That means you can only subscribe to it with them (on top of your regular YouTubeTV subscription). If you don't watch that many games or mostly stick with mobile, NFL+ give you full access to the national games you're eligible for... provided you watch on a mobile device and not on a regular TV.
