What Channels Offer the Milwaukee Bucks Games Without Cable?

If you live in the Bucks’ media market, the main channel you’re going to want to stream the Milwaukee Bucks is FanDuel Sports Wisconsin. Fans outside that area can stream all the games with NBA League Pass.

Without these, you will still be able to stream NBA games (including some Bucks games) that air nationally on NBA TV, ABC, TNT, and ESPN. There are 27 games during the 2024-25 season:

  • ABC: 1 game
  • ESPN: 9 games
  • NBA TV: 10 games
  • TNT: 7 games.

The games on ESPN and NBA TV will be simulcast on FanDuel Sports Wisconsin and NBA League Pass. The 8 games on ABC and TNT are exclusive and will not be found elsewhere.

Additionally, 5 games will be simulcast over the air on independent channel WMLW-TV.

How to Watch the Milwaukee Bucks Game Online Without Cable

Fans near Milwaukee have three options for watching most games. Those elsewhere have one option (NBA League Pass).

DIRECTV STREAM$114.99/month125+DIRECTV

FanDuel Sports has a direct-to-consumer streaming service, FanDuel Sports Network. Those in the area can get FanDuel Sports Wisconsin for $19.99/month or $189.99/year. A second channel (if you qualify) costs $25.99/month.

It’s a very appealing price but remember that it limits you to that FanDuel Sports Wisconsin and its sub-channel. You won’t be able to access games on ABC or TNT. And worst of all, you will not get access to the playoffs at all.

Streaming Features

Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM include unlimited cloud storage with all plans. There is no DVR with FanDuel.

DIRECTV STREAM allows you to watch on unlimited devices at the same time while Fubo offers up to 10 devices at once, which is effectively unlimited. You can only watch on 2 devices with FanDuel, but this probably doesn’t matter given how limited the live content is.

All these streaming services support most devices. All three support Samsung and Android TV-based smart TVs. They also support the major “stick” devices Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku. And Android and iOS mobile devices are supported. Fubo and FanDuel support the Xbox One gaming system and other smart TVs.

Our Choice

If you’re a Bucks fan, Fubo is the way to go. It’s got FanDuel Sports Wisconsin in its lineup, plus over 150 other channels, so you’re not just covered for the games but plenty more too. The streaming quality is solid – no annoying buffering – and the unlimited cloud DVR is a game-changer when you need to catch up later. It works smoothly on just about any device, which makes it super convenient. I checked out DIRECTV STREAM too, and while it also has FanDuel Sports Wisconsin, Fubo’s better channel mix and friendlier price made it the clear winner for me. If you want all the action without the hassle of cable, Fubo’s got you.

FAQs

What radio stations broadcast Milwaukee Bucks games?

Milwaukee’s WTMJ Radio is the flagship radio station for the Bucks. Fans situated elsewhere in the state will likely be close to one of its affiliate stations and can listen to the games on there. If you are located elsewhere or are in Wisconsin and would like a different option, consider subscribing to NBA League Pass Audio ($9.99/year), which provides access to all of these games.
