What TV Channels Offer the Atlanta Hawks Live Stream?

Most of the Hawks games will air on the regional sports network (RSN) Bally Sports Southeast. This is where local fans will be able to find Hawks games, and they can get this channel from Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM.

Bally Sports Southeast covers Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and parts of North Carolina.

Those outside the Hawks’ broadcast area (so can’t receive Bally Sports Southeast), but are elsewhere in the USA, can watch these games with NBA League Pass. This is also available from Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM.

A number of NBA games also air on national TV channels — specifically ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV. The Atlanta Hawks will be featured on 8 nationally televised games during the 2024-25 season:

How to Watch the Atlanta Hawks Online Without Cable

For local Atlanta Hawks fans, we recommend signing up for a Fubo plan or the DIRECTV STREAM Choice plan. These both provide access to the Bally Sports channels that air most games live. They also provide the channels needed to watch the nationally televised games (with just one exception: Fubo doesn’t offer TNT).

And if you’re out-of-market, you can get NBA League Pass as an add-on with these plans. (See our Atlanta Hawks Out-of-Market Guide.)

Service	Price	Channels	Reviews
	$94.98/month	150+	Fubo
	$108.99/month	125+	DIRECTV
	$14.99/month	NA	NBA

If you are fine with watching only nationally televised games, then Sling TV is a great choice, since you get ESPN, ESPN3 (ABC Sports), and TNT with Sling’s Orange plan for $40.00/month, plus NBA TV with the Sports Extra add-on for $11/mo more. YouTube TV also offers these channels for $72.99/month. Both also offer NBA League Pass as an add-on.

Signup for these services is easy, and none of them come with contracts, so you’re free to cancel whenever you want. Watching TV is then as easy as turning on your streaming device and connecting it to the internet. And the services provide cloud DVR storage as streaming on multiple devices (Sling is limited to a single screen).

Streaming Devices to Watch Atlanta Hawks Games

All the streaming services above support most devices in use today: Amazon Fire TV, Android mobile devices, Android TV-based smart TVs, Apple TV, Chromecast, iOS devices (eg, iPhone), Roku devices and TVs, Samsung smart TVs, and web browsers. Other smart TVs and various gaming systems are also supported by Fubo.

Where were the Hawks before they came to Atlanta?

The Hawks started as the Buffalo Bisons in 1946. They only lasted a month here though, before moving to Moline, Illinois, where they became the Tri-Cities Blackhawks. This makes them one of the original teams that formed the NBA in 1949.

In 1951, they moved to Milwaukee and changed their name to the Hawks, moving to St Louis in 1955 before finally landing in Atlanta in 1968.

Where do the Atlanta Hawks play?

Atlanta Hawks play at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. This has been their home arena since 1999, though it was known as the Philips Arena until 2018. The Hawks have called several other arenas their home prior to Atlanta, including Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, Wharton Field House, St. Louis Arena, and Omni Coliseum.

How have the Atlanta Hawks done in the NBA playoffs?

The Hawks did not have a winning season until 1957. But when they broke through, they did it with gusto, winning the NBA finals — the only time they’ve done so.

They lost three other finals in 1956, 1959, and 1960 and haven’t made it to the finals since, even though they’ve had a good record in the playoffs.

In 2021, they lost the Eastern Conference finals 2-4 to the Milwaukee Bucks.

All the major cable-replacement streaming services allow their subscribers to watch channels on their smartphones and other mobile devices. This includes Bally Sports Southeast, where providers Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM support both Android and iOS devices.
