Long before streaming sports allowed people to binge-watch entire sporting events in a single weekend, there was just plain old cable. Imagine the lousy programming and ridiculous commercial loads. These all seem unimaginable today, but back in the day, this was the order of the day.
But wait, brighter days are yet to come. Today, fan favorites like the “FIFA World Cup”, “UEFA Champions League”, and “Super Bowl” kept fans glued to their TVs year after year are coming online, allowing fans to relive the drama, action, and bask in the laughter and excitement.
That said, think about taking a hard look on your cable subscription. With the multitude of streaming sports content at your fingertips, available anytime, anywhere – you will never miss another Pittsburgh Steelers game again! Let’s cut right to the chase, when it comes to sporting content, streaming has the most over cable and there is no doubt about that.
Hulu: Paid Choice with a Mix of On-Demand Shows
Already known for making the most binge-worthy content, Hulu has everything you need to stay entertained over a sick day or long weekend, and now that includes sports. The services include all the major sports broadcast networks including ESPN, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, BTN and more.
Watch ESPN: Kind-Off Free, Best for Sunday Night Football, College Sports, Esports
Still on sports broadcasting networks, ESPN is not only one of the biggest names in sports, but also the biggest name in streaming sport. WatchESPN has a ton of live sports streaming, but you’ll need TV provider login credentials to access some premium content including big leagues like NFL, NBA, and MLB.
Facebook Watch: Free Choice with Limited Sporting Streams
This service is Facebook’s attempt to muscle its way into streaming sports. Even though the social media giant has managed to secure rights to notable leagues, Facebook Watch is still a long way from becoming a fully-fledged sports streaming service. But hey, it’s free! You just need a Facebook account.
Reddit Links: Free, Crowdsourced, Unofficial Streams
If you can’t find a way to stream sports officially, Reddit is a great place to get links to unofficial streams. The website itself does not stream sports, but subreddits like PuckStreams for hockey, which are dedicated to sports have users who post links to where you can find sports streams on another site.
Stream2Watch: Free Choice, Unofficial and Reminiscent of the Cable Experience
The biggest unofficial sports streaming website, Stream2Watch gathers streams from other websites into a fairly comprehensive streaming service that features nearly every sport in the world. With a good Ad-blocker, Stream2Watch is as good a streaming service as a premium package from the big networks.
Final Word
These days, you don’t need a cable package to catch your favorite sports teams. You have little to lose by trying streaming today. There is no extra equipment to buy, no maintenance costs, and if you don’t like it, you can be done with it at the end of the month. Sit back, relax, and watch doesn’t get any better than this.
