How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on DIRECTV STREAM

  • Pricing begins at $86.99/mo
  • 90+ live TV channels
  • Free trial available

DIRECTV STREAM is one of the best ways to catch every Nets game live. Now, to be upfront, it’s also the most expensive option making the list. To catch every game live, you’ll need to upgrade to the platform’s Choice package. This package includes ESPN, ABC, TNT, NBA TV and the YES Network. 

On top of this, you’ll receive unlimited recording streams, making it a great option for avid fans hoping to catch up or rewatch NBA games. You also receive unlimited device streams, something you won’t find with other streaming providers. While the service is expensive, you do receive some exceptional perks with it. 


How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on Fubo

  • Pricing begins at $79.99/mo
  • 190+ live TV channels
  • Free trial available

This sports-focused streamer has a lot to offer for national and international coverage, as well as plenty of other New York regional events on MSG Networks. The basic Pro plan includes YES Network, ABC and ESPN. Note that you'll have a regional sports fee tacked on to your monthly subscription cost. If you want to add NBA TV, you can add the Sports Plus package to your subscription for an additional monthly fee.

Fubo is one of the best sports streaming options on the market. You’ll find more national and regional sports on the Pro plan than any other live TV streamer offers at this price point, plus unlimited Cloud DVR storage. Nonetheless, the absence of TNT is a downside for basketball fans.


How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on Hulu + Live TV

  • Pricing begins at $76.99/mo
  • 95+ live TV channels
  • 3-day free trial

Hulu + Live TV is one of the more unique options in that you’ll have access to over 90 live channels, as well as Hulu’s robust on-demand library. The live TV service includes ESPN, ABC and TNT. 

Most notably, you’ll see it doesn’t include NBA TV or the YES Network. This means you’ll miss some of the last regular season games. However, should the Nets make the playoffs, those games air on Hulu's national networks. In addition, Hulu offers unlimited recording space with their live TV plan, meaning you and other members of your household won’t have to jostle for recording space. 


How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on Sling TV 

  • Pricing begins at $40.00/mo
  • 31+ live TV channels
  • Free trial currently unavailable

If some of these Brooklyn Nets streaming options are too pricey for you, Sling TV offers a pared-down option. With a subscription to Sling Orange & Blue, you can watch the Nets on ESPN and TNT — with 50 hours of DVR storage. In several markets, including New York City, this package includes access to ABC for even more Nets action. You can even upgrade your plan with the Sports Extra add-on for $11 a month to get NBA TV, along with plenty of other sports coverage on channels like MLB Network, ESPNU, SEC Network and more.

Unfortunately, Sling doesn’t offer regional sports coverage in any of its plans, so you won’t be able to watch the Nets on YES Network. Plus, if you live outside of New York, your plan may not include ABC. Still, Sling is our go-to for a simplified streaming service that includes some of the top entertainment and sports without the extra fluff.


How to watch the Brooklyn Nets on YouTube TV

Nets fans can catch all nationally televised games on YouTube TV. A basic subscription includes ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. Unfortunately, YouTube TV doesn’t have a regional sports deal, so you won’t be able to catch the Nets on YES Network here. 

However, if you live outside the New York market, YouTube TV offers the option to add NBA League Pass for $14.99 a month. With this package, you can watch every national and regional Nets broadcast.


How to watch Brooklyn Nets out-of-market games with NBA League Pass
