How to Watch Sports without Cable TV

Sports games may have been solely found in a cable channel subscription before, but it’s now possible to watch them without having to lock yourself in a contract.

Thanks to digital TV and emerging tech, you can now watch your favorite teams and games without cable. Here are 3 possible solutions:

Get an Aerial

If you’re a fan of your local sports team and would like to see their games as it happens, then why not get an aerial?

A TV aerial installation is one of the best and cost-effective ways to continue getting sports programming on your TV. Granted, it’s not online but once you have it then it’s free and doesn’t rely on the speed of your internet connection.

Afterwards, you can use a TV station locator tool or something similar to check which games or sports channels are available to you.

Watch Network Streams

Each major sport will have its own exclusive network- the NBA, NFL and MLB, for example have their respective online platforms in NBA League Pass, NFL Game Pass and MLB.tv.

It’s simply a matter of choosing which sport you want then signing up for a subscription. You can then watch the latest games on your TV, laptop and even your smartphone (with an app).

ESPN and CBS

Networks are good options for when you’re looking for less-popular sports such as volleyball, tennis or collegiate games. Some of these channels are free or packaged with a program- once you have an aerial you can try to see if it’s on your list.

Having a network channel ensures you get year-round sports programming in a wide spectrum. Aside from the games, you also get updates, news and replays as reported by anchors and analysts.Your digital TV experience doesn’t have to be tied down to cable. Explore these alternatives, then afterwards decide on the content you really want and go from there.
