What Is FanDuel Sports South?
FanDuel Sports South is one of the nation’s largest regional sports networks (RSNs). Its coverage area is extensive, reaching all of the following states:
- Alabama
- Georgia
- Mississippi
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Tennessee.
It also reaches a considerable portion of Kentucky.
With FanDuel Sports South covering such an extensive area, it crosses several dividing lines between major sports teams. For example, it shows Carolina Hurricanes games to some of its viewers and Nashville Predators contests to others.
With that said, those in Georgia can watch both of those NHL squads play on this channel. However, everyone else in this region gets to see just one of those teams play.
Major Sports Teams
Here is a list of major sports teams that are broadcast on FanDuel Sports South: Atlanta Braves (MLB), Carolina Hurricanes (NHL), and Nashville Predators (NHL).
The Braves enjoy a particularly extensive coverage area as it’s shown everywhere FanDuel Sports South can be accessed except for Kentucky and some parts of North Carolina.
FanDuel Sports South also broadcasts a number of ACC sporting events. Subscribers can expect one or two ACC football games to be shown on FanDuel Sports South every fall Saturday.
Of course, FanDuel Sports South does not solely show live and recorded sports events. Many broadcasts on the channel are general-interest sports shows such as American Ninja Warrior, Inside Notre Dame Football, and The Card Life.
FanDuel Sports Southeast
Those interested in FanDuel Sports South’s offerings should keep in mind that FanDuel Sports Southeast offers similar programming. For example, Atlanta Braves games are on both of those channels. FanDuel Sports-affiliated NBA games from teams like Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, and Memphis Grizzlies are shown solely on FanDuel Sports Southeast.
Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM offer FanDuel Sports Southeast to most subscribers who are eligible for access to FanDuel Sports South. Notable exceptions include areas of Kentucky, Mississippi, and North Carolina.
Our Choice
The bottom line is that if you are a fan of a local major professional sports team that has a rights deal with FanDuel Sports South and want to have the ability to watch all of its games, getting FanDuel Sports South is a must.
Fubo is my top choice for FanDuel Sports South. It offers a ton of general and sports channels and provides all the RSNs in your area. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
FAQs
What happened to Fox Sports South?
On March 31, 2021, Fox Sports South became Bally Sports South in advance of MLB’s opening day the following day. This was done to promote the Bally brand and dissociate it from Fox, who no longer owned it. Fox was forced to sell the channel due to antitrust concerns given that its parent company (Disney) owns ESPN. It is now owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group and Entertainment Studios as Diamond Holdings.
In 2024, the channels were rebranded as FanDuel Sports.
