Bally Sports+ Review: Is Its Great Local MLB, NBA, NHL Coverage Woth the Cost?

Bally Sports+ is the most direct way to gain access to all the games of all the local MLB, NBA, and NHL teams in your area. You can get it for as little as $15.83/mo with a one-year contract.

In a hurry? Sign up for Bally Sports+ directly. Or if you would rather get it with a full range of live TV channels, here are your other options:

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.

Unfortunately, we don’t know a streaming service in that offers this TV channel/sport. But if you’ve already paid for the right service, and just can’t watch because of your location, there is an easy way to get the sports, movies, and TV you deserve. You need a VPN, like one of the following.

The Bally Sports network of channels has an almost mythical appeal to fans — being home of dozens of MLB, NBA, and NHL teams. For better or worse, most of these games are not broadcast nationally and if you are a local fan, Bally Sports can be the only way to catch just about every game.

And Bally Sports+ is the direct-to-consumer streaming service that allows you to gain access to all the channels that operate in your area.

Bally Sports+ Sports Coverage

Bally Sports+ coverage is great — especially for NBA and NHL teams. Currently, Bally Sports+ is missing a number of MLB teams. In the following list, we’ve put lines through the ones that are currently not supported.

If you are looking for one of the MLB teams not available, check out Fubo since the live TV version of Bally Sports offers most of them. Try it with a free trial!

How Much Does Bally Sports+ Cost?

The cost of Bally Sports+ depends upon how you pay for it and what exactly you get. As usual, it is cheaper if you pay by the year. (Black Friday deal)

Bally Sports+ Device Support

Bally Sports+ allows you to livestream a lot of games but it is fairly limited in terms of supported devices. Currently, you can use the follow: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, mobile and tablet devices (iOS, Android) and BallySports.com

• Amazon Fire TV
• Android mobile devices
• Apple TV
• iOS devices (iPhone, iPad)
• Roku
• Web browsers

Support for web browsers is actually quite powerful because most devices include their own web browsers that can be used. And you can hook up a laptop to any smart TV with an HDMI cable.

Wrapping Up

If you are a sports fan on a budget, Bally Sports Plus could be the answer to your dreams. At just $19.99/mo (and less if you pay annually), it’s much cheaper than any other option. Try it free for a week!
