TV Answer Man, can you give us a list of the regional sports channels that DIRECTV Stream carries. I’m looking for the right streaming unit for the baseball season and I need to know if they have my RSN in Baltimore. — Van, Glen Burnie, Maryland.
Van, DIRECTV Stream, a multi-channel live streaming service which is an alternative to DIRECTV’s satellite offering, includes regional sports networks in its Choice and above plans. The Choice package starts at $108.99 a month, although DIRECTV Stream is now offering $10 off each of the first three months. The lower price would take you through the end of June or roughly half of the 2024 baseball season.

Altitude (Nuggets, Avalanche)
MASN (Orioles and Nationals)
Root Sports Northwest (Mariners)
Spectrum SportsNet LA (Dodgers)
MSG (Knicks, Devils, Rangers, Islanders)
