Find the cheapest way to watch sports without cable. Enter your ZIP and pick your team — we apply your local blackout rules and compare every major streaming service (ESPN Unlimited, Peacock, Paramount+, FOX One, Prime Video, and more) to build the lowest-cost plan for the full NFL, MLB, NBA, or WNBA season, then show exactly when to cancel each one so you never pay for a month you don't need.
We will discount the total to exclude games that are expected to be covered via your service.
Prices reflect the cheapest standalone streaming plans and may change at any time. If you already have cable or satellite TV, some services (ESPN Unlimited, FOX One, Paramount+) may already be included with your package. See our Terms of Service.

How the calculator works
Cutting the cord? We find the cheapest way to watch sports without cable for your team's full season — comparing every major streaming service so you don't have to price them one by one.
Enter your ZIP. We map your local TV market and apply NFL, MLB, NBA, and WNBA blackout rules.
Pick your team. We pull the full season and split it into regional sports network games and national streaming exclusives.
Get the cheapest plan. We compare annual vs. monthly pricing across ESPN Unlimited, Peacock, Paramount+, FOX One, Prime Video, and more, then show exactly when to subscribe and cancel.
Enter your ZIP code and pick your team. We look up your local TV market, identify which games are on your team's regional sports network, and which games are national exclusives (ESPN, Apple TV+, Peacock, Prime Video, FOX One, Paramount+). We then calculate the cheapest combination of streaming plans — comparing annual vs. monthly — and show exactly when to subscribe and cancel. You can also browse today's games across every league to see where they're streaming right now.
Do I need cable TV? What if I already have it?
The calculator assumes you do not have cable or satellite TV, so it recommends standalone streaming plans. If you already have a cable or satellite subscription, some services in your results — typically ESPN Unlimited, FOX One, and Paramount+ — may already be included at no extra cost through your provider. You can safely ignore those line items if they're bundled with your TV package.
Are local blackouts included in the calculation?
Yes. We use your ZIP code to determine your local TV market (DMA) and apply NFL, MLB, NBA, and WNBA blackout rules before picking the cheapest plan. For MLB, NBA, and WNBA your team's regional sports network is the anchor service. For NFL, in-market fans get the bulk of regional games free over-the-air on their local CBS, FOX, and NBC affiliates; out-of-market fans anchor on NFL Sunday Ticket.
What about NHL?
NHL coverage goes live in early fall, in time for the 2025-26 season. NFL, MLB, NBA, and WNBA are fully supported today.
How often are prices updated?
Streaming prices are reviewed on an ongoing basis, but services can change pricing at any time. Use the calculator as a planning tool and always confirm the current price on the provider's site before you subscribe.
What's the cheapest way to watch live sports without cable?
It depends on your team and local market, but most fans only need a small mix of services — a regional sports network or league pass for local games, plus one or two national streamers. Enter your ZIP and team above and the calculator builds the lowest-cost combination across NFL, MLB, NBA, and WNBA, including when to cancel each plan.
What's the cheapest sports streaming service?
There is no single cheapest service — the best value depends on which games your team plays and where you live. National games air on ESPN Unlimited, Peacock, Paramount+, FOX One, and Prime Video, while local games are usually on a regional sports network. The calculator compares them all and picks the cheapest combination for your team.
How much does it cost to stream NFL, MLB, NBA, or WNBA in 2026?
It varies by team and market because of regional broadcast rights and blackouts, so a single price does not apply to everyone. Enter your ZIP and team and the calculator totals the cheapest plan for your full season, comparing annual versus monthly pricing.
Which streaming services carry NFL, MLB, NBA, and WNBA games?
Coverage is split between regional sports networks for local games and national streamers — ESPN Unlimited, Peacock, Paramount+, FOX One, and Prime Video — plus over-the-air CBS, FOX, and NBC. Run the calculator to see exactly which services your team needs.
