What’s on, and where to find it

Live sport on American TV is spread across more channels than anything else on the schedule. The four broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, carry the biggest events and reach any home with an antenna. Cable carries the bulk: the ESPN channels, FS1, TNT, TBS, USA Network and the conference networks. More and more games are on streaming services only, among them Prime Video, Peacock, ESPN+ and Apple TV, which has every MLS match.

This page lists the games anyone in the US can watch: those on national TV channels and national streaming services. Games on a team’s local channel, which is most NBA and NHL games and many college games, are left out here and listed on each sport’s own page.

How to read the tables

Each day is split by sport, with games in start-time order. The channel column lists TV channels first, then where the game also streams. “Streaming only” means the game is on a streaming service and on no TV channel. A number before a college team is its Top 25 rank, and “TBA” means the start time hasn’t been set. Games already over show the final score.

Times are Eastern. In the Central time zone, take an hour off; on the West Coast, take three. The page is rebuilt every afternoon, so if you’re reading in the morning, the tomorrow tables are the ones for today.
