How to watch the Chicago White Sox on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM is one of the best ways for White Sox fans to stream games live. The platform comes with unlimited device streams and DVR space making it a perfect option for larger households with diverse viewing habits.

Moreover, when you subscribe to the Choice package, it includes every channel you need, such as ESPN, TBS, NBC Sports Chicago, Fox, Fox Sports 1 and the MLB Network. While the DIRECTV STREAM can be expensive compared to other services when you upgrade to higher packages, it is the perfect option for avid White Sox fans.

How to watch the Chicago White Sox on Fubo

Fubo is one of the best values in streaming. Fubo's Pro package features 199 channels, 10 simultaneous streams and 1,000 hours of DVR recording space.

White Sox fans will enjoy access to ESPN, Fox, Fox Sports 1, NBC Chicago and the MLB Network. The only drawback is you’ll miss any games airing on TBS since Fubo doesn’t have that channel. That aside, Fubo offers Chicago fans an affordable way to stream many games live.

How to watch the Chicago White Sox on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is the most affordable streaming service offering all the channels White Sox fans need. The only live TV package features unlimited recording room and over 95 channels.

White Sox fans can stream games on NBC Sports Chicago, the MLB Network, Fox, Fox Sports 1, TBS and ESPN. It means you can stream every regular game live and catch all national broadcasts, including the All-Star game, the playoffs and the World Series. On top of this, you can package Hulu’s live TV service with the Disney Bundle for the ultimate entertainment offering.

How to watch the Chicago White Sox on Sling TV

Sling TV is affordable and allows viewers to select the package that best suits their needs. For White Sox fans, the Orange & Blue package includes ESPN, TBS and Fox Sports 1.

You can also add the MLB Network through the Sports Extra package for an extra monthly cost. That aside, your local channel availability depends on where you live. And with each package, you receive 50 hours of DVR space. You can upgrade to 200 hours for another few dollars per month.

How to watch the Chicago White Sox on YouTube TV

YouTube TV is one of the best options for sports fans seeking an affordable streaming platform. The base package includes over 100 channels and unlimited recording space.

For White Sox fans, you can stream games on ESPN, Fox, Fox Sports 1, TBS and NBC Sports Chicago. Unfortunately, YouTube TV couldn’t reach an agreement to continue to carry the MLB Network. It means if you’re an out-of-market White Sox fan, it might be best to consider a subscription to MLB.TV while using YouTube TV as your base.

How to watch the Chicago White Sox on Apple TV+

Apple TV+ entered into a partnership with MLB to air “Friday Night Baseball.” This will be a weekly double-header featuring intriguing matchups over 26 weeks. White Sox fans hoping to catch every game live should subscribe to the service, as Chicago will have games airing both in April and May on the platform. New customers receive a seven-day free trial.

How to watch Chicago White Sox out-of-market games with MLB TV

MLB.TV is an excellent way for White Sox fans living outside of Chicago to stream games live. The platform features three packages that include access to all White Sox games that are not in your area as long as they don’t broadcast on national networks.

In addition to streaming games live MLB.TV offers local and postgame shows. You can stream MLB games on all your devices, including smartphones, TVs, tablets and video game consoles.
