You can watch FanDuel Sports Network through a participating cable or satellite provider, its direct-to-consumer streaming service in eligible markets, or select live-TV streaming services. The channel and team coverage available to you depend on your location.
This guide explains how to check your options, watch on a TV or mobile device, and avoid common mix-ups with blackouts and out-of-market games.
Where can i watch fanduel sports network?
Start by checking whether your local FanDuel Sports Network channel is included with your TV provider. If you do not have a participating provider, look for a direct subscription in your area or check live-TV services that carry the network locally.
FanDuel Sports Network is a group of regional sports networks. Each channel serves particular areas and carries games from teams with local broadcast agreements. That means there is no single channel lineup that works everywhere.
The networks were previously branded Bally Sports. Older provider guides, apps, or saved channel names may still use “Bally Sports,” so check for updated listings if you do not see FanDuel Sports Network right away.
Ways to watch FanDuel Sports Network
These are the main options to check. Availability varies by region, and a service may carry one FanDuel channel without carrying every channel in the group.
| Viewing option | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Cable or satellite TV | Watch the channel in your package, or sign in to the FanDuel Sports Network app with eligible provider details. | Fans who already have a participating TV subscription. |
| FanDuel Sports Network direct subscription | Subscribe through the network’s service where a local plan is offered, then stream on supported devices. | Viewers who want local coverage without a traditional TV package. |
| Live-TV streaming service | Stream a TV-style channel lineup. Some services carry FanDuel Sports Network channels in selected markets. | People who want local games alongside other live channels. |
| Prime Video Channels or another listed partner | Subscribe through a partner only if the specific FanDuel channel is offered for your location. | Viewers who prefer managing subscriptions through an existing platform. |
Do not assume that YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, or any other service includes your regional channel. Lineups change, and regional sports networks are often excluded from otherwise similar packages. Confirm the exact channel before subscribing.
How to check which channel and games are available
- Find your local network. Use the FanDuel Sports Network website or app and enter your ZIP code or location when prompted.
- Look up the team’s broadcast. Confirm that the game is scheduled on the local FanDuel channel, not a national network or another regional channel.
- Compare subscription options. Check your current provider’s channel guide, then compare it with direct and live-TV streaming choices available in your area.
- Verify the exact package. Check the provider’s channel list and any regional restrictions before paying. A general statement that a service carries “regional sports” does not guarantee your channel is included.
- Sign in or subscribe. Use your TV provider credentials for authenticated access, or follow the direct-subscription instructions for your market.
This quick check matters because the network name alone does not tell you which teams or games are available. Local rights determine the actual schedule.
Can you stream FanDuel Sports Network without cable?
Often, yes. In markets where it is offered, a direct subscription lets you stream local coverage without a cable or satellite package. Some live-TV streaming services may also carry the network, but their availability depends on location and current agreements.
Check whether the direct plan covers the team and channel you want before signing up. A subscription may provide local broadcasts rather than every team’s games nationwide. It also may not include games shown exclusively on national television.
For partner services, look at the current channel lineup for your ZIP code. If the channel is missing from the lineup, a subscription to that service will not unlock the FanDuel stream in the app.
How to watch on a TV, phone, or computer
Smart TV and streaming device
Search the device’s app store for FanDuel Sports Network and install the app if it is supported. Open it and either sign in with an eligible TV provider or select the available direct subscription. App availability can differ by device, so check the current supported-device list if the app does not appear.
Phone or tablet
Install the FanDuel Sports Network app from the device’s app store. Sign in or subscribe, then choose the live game or available program. Casting options depend on the phone, television, and app version.
Web browser
Visit the service’s official website and sign in with your provider or direct account. A stable internet connection helps prevent buffering, especially during live games. If playback fails, check whether the game is available in your location before troubleshooting the device.
Why a game may not appear in the stream
Regional rights and blackout restrictions are a common source of confusion. A regional channel usually serves viewers in its assigned area; location-based rules can prevent access to a broadcast outside that area. A VPN or a different device does not necessarily change the rights attached to your account or location.
Other common reasons include:
- The game is on a national channel. A local FanDuel channel may not show a game assigned to a national broadcaster.
- Your package lacks the channel. A provider can offer FanDuel Sports Network in some markets but not yours.
- The wrong regional feed is selected. Your account may show a different channel from the one that carries the local team.
- Your provider login needs attention. Expired credentials or a package change can interrupt access through the app.
- The schedule changed. Game listings can shift, so check the current guide close to tipoff, puck drop, or first pitch.
If you are outside the team’s local broadcast area, look for the league’s official out-of-market options. Those packages have their own team, game, and blackout rules; do not assume a FanDuel regional subscription travels with you.
Is FanDuel Sports Network the same as FanDuel TV?
No. FanDuel Sports Network carries local team broadcasts and related programming on regional channels. FanDuel TV is a separate sports and wagering-related television channel. Having access to one does not automatically mean you can watch the other.
The network is also separate from the FanDuel sportsbook. Watching a game does not require placing a bet, and a sportsbook account is not a substitute for a TV-provider login or streaming subscription.
What to check before paying for a subscription
- Local channel availability: Is the specific network offered at your address?
- Team coverage: Does it carry the team and competition you plan to watch?
- Game availability: Are the broadcasts you care about subject to local or national restrictions?
- Device support: Can you use the service on your television, streaming device, phone, or browser?
- Current terms: What are the current price, billing period, cancellation process, and any trial conditions?
A useful detail many viewers miss: an app download is not proof that the live channel is available in your market. Check the channel and game first, then choose a subscription. This avoids paying for a service that cannot show the local broadcast you want.
FanDuel Sports Network is available through participating TV providers and, in some areas, direct subscriptions or streaming partners. Your location determines which channel and games you can watch.
Before signing up, check your ZIP code, the team’s schedule, and the provider’s current lineup. That simple comparison is the best way to choose a service that actually carries your local games.
