Having come so close to hoisting the Stanley Cup last season, I’m watching to see if the Florida Panthers can battle their way back to the finals and claim victory in 2025. Here’s my guide to catching every moment of their games this season.
In a hurry? Local Panthers fans can watch almost all of their games on Bally Sports Florida. It is available from these streaming services:
Fubo
Known for its outstanding sports coverage, Fubo’s 150+ live TV channels provide a broad selection that appeals to most people. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
DIRECTV STREAM
The king of RSNs, this is the streaming service for MLB, NBA, and NHL fans with its Choice Plan. New customers get a 5-day free trial with DIRECTV STREAM.
If you can’t watch your favorite sports because of your location, get ExpressVPN to access the content you deserve.
Table Of Contents
Based in Sunrise, Florida, the Panthers have made the playoffs nine times in their 30-year history, twice making it all the way to the championship finals. But, rather surprisingly, they’ve never managed to win the Stanley Cup.
They have an intense rivalry with the Tampa Bay Lightning, known as the “Battle of Florida.” And after their unstoppable run to the finals last season, only just losing out to the Vegas Golden Knights in the championship finals, they’ll have a huge target on their back this year.

How to Stream All the Florida Panthers Games
The best way to stream Florida Panthers games depends on where you’re watching from.
If you’re local to the Florida Panthers’ region (what’s known as “in-market”), you can watch almost all their games on Bally Sports Florida, through a streaming service such as Fubo or DIRECTV STREAM. We explain how below.
If you live outside of the Bally Sports Florida broadcast range, you’ll need to sign up to ESPN+ instead. If you subscribe through Hulu + Live TV, you’ll have access to TNT, ABC, and ESPN for the nationally broadcast games as well.
Local fans will also need access to either Hulu or ESPN+ for the five streaming-only games, and to TNT, ABC, and ESPN for the nationally broadcast games, as these won’t be available on Bally Sports Florida.
Fubo: Best Value for Florida Panthers Fans
All Fubo plans include Regional Sports Networks (RSNs), which means you’ll automatically receive Bally Sports Florida if you’re within its broadcast region.
Its Pro plan starts at $88.98/mo and comes with more than 150 channels, with a heavy focus on sports and entertainment. This makes it perfect for sports fans and families.
You can stream on 10 screens at once while at home, and record up to 1,000 hours of live TV on a free cloud-based DVR.

DIRECTV STREAM for Florida Panthers Fans
DIRECTV STREAM includes all the channels you’ll need to watch all the locally and nationally broadcast Florida Panthers games online, including TNT, ABC, and ESPN.
Bally Sports Florida is included in its Choice plan and above, which starts at $99.99. This comes with over 100 other channels and unlimited storage on a cloud-based DVR (up to nine months), and you can watch on an unlimited number of screens at home.

Other Streaming Options
Panthers fans who don’t need a complete TV package can subscribe directly to ESPN+ from $10.99/mo. This will let out-of-market fans watch every locally broadcast game and the streaming-only games, but it doesn’t provide the channels needed for nationally broadcast coverage.
In-market fans within Florida can only use ESPN+ for the streaming-only games, as local games will be blacked out on ESPN+ if you’re within the Bally Sports Florida region.
Florida fans can sign up directly to Bally Sports+ instead. Bally Sports+ starts at $19.99/month and lets subscribers watch their local Bally Sports network at home or on the go.
Local fans will still need TNT, ABC, and ESPN for the national games, and access to ESPN+ or Hulu for the streaming-only games.
Devices to Livestream Florida Panthers Games
The majority of popular streaming services, including Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM, and Hulu + Live TV, can be watched on most well-known platforms and devices.
These include:
- Amazon Fire TV

Fubo and Hulu support LG and VIZIO smart TVs and the Xbox gaming system. Hulu and ESPN+ work on PlayStations as well.
Bally Sports+ isn’t compatible with Chromecast, but does work with Xboxes, and is expected to be available on more devices soon.
