How to Watch the Atlanta Hawks Online Without Cable
For local Atlanta Hawks fans, we recommend signing up for the DIRECTV STREAM Choice plan. This provides you with access to the Bally Sports channels that provide coverage to most games. It also provides the channels needed to watch the nationally televised games.
If you are fine with watching only nationally televised games, then Sling TV is a great choice since you get TNT with its base plan for $40.00/mo and NBA TV with the Sports Extra add-on for $11/mo more. And if you are out-of-market, you can also add NBA League Pass and get all the rest of the games. (See our Atlanta Braves Out-of-Market Guide.)
Signup for these services is easy and they don’t come with contracts, so you’re free to cancel whenever you want. Watching TV is as easy as turning on your streaming device and connecting it to the internet.

Sling TV
Sling TV is a great option for two kinds of fans:
- Busy fans who can only catch the occasional game and focus mostly on the NBA playoffs.
- Out-of-market fans who want to watch most games.
For the first kind of fan, either Sling Orange or Sling Blue will allow you to watch games on TNT for $40.00/mo. To get NBA TV, you can add the Sports Extra plan for $11/mo, which includes roughly a dozen other TV channels including MLB Network and NHL Network. The other channels you get depend on your base plan — Orange subscribers get ESPN-based plans and Blue subscribers get NFL RedZone.
Out-of-market fans can watch all the Atlanta Hawks games by adding NBA League Pass.
All plans come with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage. The Blue plan allows you to watch on up to 3 devices at once but the Orange plan limits you to one.

Where were the Hawks before they came to Atlanta?
The Hawks started as the Buffalo Bisons in 1946. But they only lasted a month before they moved to Moline, Illinois where they became the Tri-Cities Blackhawks. As such, they were one of the original teams that formed the NBA in 1949. In 1951, they moved to Milwaukee and changed their name to the Hawks. They finally landed in Atlanta in 1968 by way of St Louis.
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 have done so. They lost three other finals in 1956, 1959, and 1960. They have not made it to the finals since even though they’ve had a good record in the playoffs. Last year, they lost the Eastern Conference finals 2-4 to the Milwaukee Bucks.
How can I watch the Atlanta Hawks on my phone?
