About this guide

This guide shows which streaming services and TV networks carry each major US sports league as of 2025–26. Rights deals change — especially mid-season for postseason coverage. "Free/OTA" means available over-the-air on broadcast TV or included free on the listed streaming service. Live TV bundles (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV) typically cost $70–$90/month and carry most broadcast and cable sports channels. For specific game schedules, check each league's official site.
