Watch any sport, and there’s probably a good chance you’re going to see a fight or two. Whether you’re a fan of fighting or not, you can’t help but sit there and watch the action unfold. The same can be said for sports streaming as well. From live sports to the Olympics, there’s pretty much something for everyone.
The goal is to watch live sports whenever you want, but for many people that just isn’t feasible. It’s not often that we have any of these big sporting events go down in the United States, so when it does, it can be pretty rare to see a major streaming service and/or a premium sports channel host the event.
If you’re looking to watch a live sports event like a UFC, NHL, NBA, and more, we’ve got you covered. Below is a rundown of all the major sports and streaming services to choose from when you want to watch these events for the first time. You’ll be able to find which service has the best options for your needs depending on your favorite sports.
UFC
UFC is on the way to the biggest mixed martial arts event of the year, which is UFC 223 this Saturday. You can watch the card live in its entirety on the Fox Sports Go website and on the Fox Sports Go app, or you can watch the prelims on FS1. Either way, you’re going to get a pretty good fight, especially considering the current state of the light heavyweight title picture. You can also purchase a single-day subscription for the UFC On FOX app, which will let you watch the entire event.
If you’re interested in UFC just to watch the fights on TV, you can purchase the UFC Fight Pass through Amazon Channels. For $99 per year, you’ll get access to all of the UFC on FOX events and other exciting fight cards. All you have to do is set up your account and watch whatever you want when you want.
NBA
The NBA is always pretty consistent with the schedule of when they have their games. Each year, the schedule is set to have at least 82 games, and the number can get up to 84 depending on how many playoff spots are up for grabs. This season, the league decided to go ahead and schedule all games through the playoffs with 17 games in between Christmas and the end of the regular season.
If you’re looking to stream the games live, you’re going to want to head over to NBA League Pass, where you can purchase single-game subscriptions to start. You’ll also get access to the entire season’s worth of playoff games for an additional fee. If you’re interested in buying a multi-year membership, you can find that information by clicking here.
The next big thing for the NBA is their league-wide streaming service. The NBA League Pass will be launched this year, and it will give users access to every game played throughout the season, as well as a limited number of playoff games. Currently, the service isn’t set to launch until the 2018-2019 season, but there’s no reason you can’t take advantage of it right now. You can sign up at this link.
Olympics
The Olympics have always been one of the most entertaining events of the year, and this year’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang will be no different. The games will begin on February 9, 2018, but be sure to check out how to watch the Olympics live stream from all the major streaming services.
In addition to all the medal-round events available to watch, you can also watch more casual events live as well. All you have to do is visit your favorite streaming services’ site and see what’s happening. In some cases, you’ll be able to watch online and on your television. There’s no need to call someone.
CSI and Law & Order
Sometimes, you just want to watch some crime dramas in a little box. There’s nothing wrong with watching some crime shows, whether you’re at home or on the go. Most streaming services offer several crime dramas that you can choose from.
Sports. You can watch virtually any sport that’s popular throughout the United States, whether you want to see a random baseball game or the finals of the Super Bowl. You can also stream games from your local sports network, which is available in most areas.
Videos
Whether you want to watch a YouTube video or a TV show, you can easily find just about anything on a streaming platform. You just need to know where to look.
Some of the best platforms for streaming videos include Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube, iTunes, and several others.
If you’re looking for a short-term or long-term option for streaming video, consider signing up for a free trial with one of the services above. They’ll allow you to stream your favorite shows and videos for a set amount of time, and then you’ll have to decide whether you want to continue with the service.
