Streaming FanDuel Sports West
You used to be able to watch FanDuel Sports West through several live TV streaming services. But the number was reduced to just one for a couple of years. Thankfully, there are now three options.
DTC FanDuel Sports West
Note: the FanDuel Sports Network streaming service has secured rights for the games of all covered NBA and NHL teams. But it has not secured rights to most MLB team games. Make sure that your teams will be available before signing up.
FanDuel Sports Network is a direct-to-consumer streaming service. It offers all of the channels in the FanDuel Sports Network but subscribers get only those channels that cover their location.
You can get FanDuel Sports West for $19.99/month or $189.99/year. If you qualify for a second channel, the total price goes up to $25.99/month.

Streaming Extras
Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM, and FanDuel Sports Network all support the most popular streaming devices in use today. You can use Android TV smart TVs as well as those from Samsung. All the popular stick devices are supported: Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku. So are iOS and Android mobile devices. Additionally, Fubo and FanDuel support the Xbox gaming system and some other devices.
You can stream on virtually unlimited devices with Fubo (up to 10) and DIRECTV STREAM (actually unlimited). FanDuel Sports Network is limited to 2 simultaneous devices but given you will only have one or two channels, this shouldn’t be a problem.
Unlimited cloud DVR storage comes with both Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM. FanDuel does not provide a DVR.
Alternatives to FanDuel Sports West
If you live locally and want to watch the Los Angeles Angels games or Los Angeles Kings games, you need to have access to FanDuel Sports West. If you don’t want to use one of the streaming services, you can get it with cable or satellite.
Conversely, if you are not in the MLB.TV blackout area for the Angels, you can subscribe to that service for $24.99/month to watch the team’s out-of-market broadcasts. The same is true for those not in the blackout region for the Kings; an ESPN+ subscription for $10.99/month will get you their out-of-market broadcasts.
If you only care about nationally televised games, you can watch them on Hulu + Live TV ($82.99/month) and Sling TV ($40.00/month).

What Sports Teams Does FanDuel Sports West Cover?
The primary focuses for FanDuel Sports West are the Los Angeles Angels during the summer months and the Los Angeles Kings in the winter. It also broadcasts shows related to the Los Angeles Rams. The rest of its programming is related to, in part, fishing, ATV-riding, surfing, tennis, poker, golf, beach volleyball, mixed martial arts, and college sports events.
Fans of NCAA Division I athletics departments in the greater LA area will need to access different outlets to watch those games, largely depending on the school and the sport.
Our Choice
The bottom line is that devoted Los Angeles Angels and Kings fans in the local area should get FanDuel Sports West. It will allow them to watch as many of their team’s games as possible while avoiding long-term contracts with hidden fees.
Fubo is my top choice for FanDuel Sports West because of its low price and large selection of sports channels. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
FAQs
What happened to Prime Ticket?
FanDuel Sports West started out as Prime Ticket, which began broadcasting in October 1985. It initially focused on the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings. Prime Ticket’s popularity was helped immensely by the multiple rings that Lakers players were claiming that decade and Wayne Gretzky’s arrival in LA in 1988. In the 1990s, the channel added local broadcasting rights for the California Angels, San Diego Padres, and Los Angeles Clippers.
Since then, it lost some of those teams before settling on the Angels and Kings. The Lakers were the last to depart, moving to the currently named Spectrum SportsNet in 2012.
FanDuel Sports West has also been known as Prime Sports West, Fox Sports Net West, and FSN West. The last name change, from Fox Sports West, occurred on March 31, 2021. When it acquired ESPN, Disney was forced to sell its Fox Sports RSNs. Sinclair Broadcast Group and Entertainment Studios created Diamond Sports Group to purchase it and Fox Sports West was rebranded as Bally Sports West. And in 2024, it was rebranded again to FanDuel Sports West.
What is the cheapest way to stream FanDuel Sports West?
The cheapest way to stream FanDuel Sports West is through FanDuel Sports Network for $19.99/month or $189.99/year. Remember, however, that this leaves you without the non-FanDuel RSNs and all the national sports channels. It probably makes more sense to get Fubo even with its $94.98/month price tag.
