Frequently Asked Questions
What time do live sports start today?
Game start times depend on the league and day of the week. Saturday college games and Sunday NFL slates kick off early at 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Eastern (9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific), while weeknight NBA, NHL, and MLB games generally start between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM Eastern.
Why is a game blacked out on my streaming service?
Regional blackout rules protect local television stations and regional sports networks (RSNs) that hold exclusive rights to broadcast home-market teams. If a game is blacked out on an out-of-market package (such as MLB.TV or NBA League Pass), it is typically airing on your local channel or regional sports network.
How can I find out what TV channel a game is on right now?

Can I watch live sports on my phone or smart TV for free?
You can stream games for free by utilizing promotional trials offered by live-TV streaming services like FuboTV, YouTube TV, or DirecTV Stream, or by watching network broadcasts (CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC) through an antenna or TV provider authenticated app.
