As someone interested in sports beyond just the major leagues, I’ve found FloSports to be an invaluable streaming service. Through it, I can access a vast selection of sports at all levels – from baseball and basketball to both American football and soccer, as well as hockey.
In a hurry? FloSports costs $29.99/mo but you are much better off getting its yearly plan at less than half the monthly cost for $149.99/yr.
Table Of Contents
FloSports is a streaming service that is similar to ESPN+ in a lot of ways. But dissimilar in others.
It offers exclusive access to a significant number of events in a wide variety of sports. Although you cannot watch MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLS games on it, it can be perfect for you if you have any niche interests that it offers. Also note that a number of NCAA Division I sporting events are available.
The cost for this service is $29.99/mo or $149.99/yr.
FloSports Basics
FloSports was founded in 2006, and its vision is, “Undeserved sports finally get the love they deserve.” In other words, it was founded and continues to have its focus be non-mainstream sports.
Running is one example. In 2007, a FloSports video showed Ryan Hall winning the Houston Half Marathon with a US-record time, which also marked the first time that an American had gone that distance in less than an hour. This video, which included an interview with his wife, helped push FloSports more into the forefront.
However, it has experienced issues as well. A couple of examples occurred when it partnered with a pair of MLS clubs — DC United and FC Cincinnati — in 2019. There were early technical difficulties — especially regarding geofencing restrictions. Ultimately, both teams cut their contracts short.
Since then, however, FloSports has entered into numerous other problem-free contracts and last year signed contracts with AAU Track and Field, USA Gymnastics, and NASCAR.
FloSports Programming
The focus of FloSports is on live and on-demand archived sports events. But it offers more than that.
Shows
FloSports has original content available for viewing.
For example, those who head to FloWrestling can view The Bader Show, a repeating show, and standalone ones such as Emma Bruntil Overcame Serious Injuries to Win Yariguin Title.
Meanwhile, examples in its FloTrack channel include Grant Holloway Is Untouchable in the 60mH and Best Indoor Races Of The Weekend, the latter of which being a podcast.

FloSports is divided into 23 subchannels that focus on different sports. There’s a bit more to it than that, but this list breaks it down:

FloSports Payment Plans
To purchase a year’s worth of access to FloSports, which includes access to all of the channels noted above, it will cost $149.99. If you would like to instead pay for a month at a time for the same, you can do so at a monthly cost of $29.99.
Do be careful. There have been many complaints from people intending to subscribe for a month and getting a yearly plan. It is the default choice. See below if this happens to you.
Note that if you attempt to subscribe to a channel and are told that a monthly rate is not available for it and that your only options are paying $149.99 for a year or not getting it, you can instead subscribe to a different channel or directly from the FloSports site. Paying for one grants you access to all of them.

FloSports provides its subscribers with a cloud DVR feature that can be used while watching a live event. It may be rewound to its beginning as long as doing so does not exceed its six-hour limit.
