WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LIVE SPORTS RIGHT NOW

By Kendall Jenkins on 2020-09-18 08:06:00

It's almost time to kick off the football and basketball seasons, and fans are anxious to get back into the swing of things since so many games have been canceled thanks to the pandemic. While fans won't be allowed to sit in on the games this season, they can still sit back and watch from the comfort of their own homes as they cheer their favorite teams on to victory.

While it won't be the same, it'll still be nice knowing you can still watch your favorite live sporting events from almost anywhere in the world with just an internet connection and a streaming device. Before we kick off the season, here's what you should know about live sports right now, from college basketball and the NBA to the MLB and NFL.

NBA

The NBA season is scheduled to begin sometime in late October. No date has been confirmed as of yet, but the season will be underway by November if all goes according to schedule. You can watch NBA games by purchasing an NBA League Pass (allowing you to watch every live out-of-market game) or an NBA Team Pass (allowing you to watch local teams' home and away games only). You can watch these games using Cox's Contour Stream Player by installing a network app (like ESPN or ABC) or by installing YouTube or Sling and subscribing.

NFL

If you're a sports fan, you already know the NFL season begins in September in various cities across the country. And fans are anxiously awaiting the Super Bowl LV, which is scheduled for February 7, 2021. If you purchase seasonal access to the NFL games with the NFL Red Zone, you can get in on the action and catch every game. Just get a Contour Streaming Player (no cable outlet needed), install the network app on your device, or install a live TV service like YouTube TV or Sling and subscribe for a monthly fee. And you can watch any game you want.

MLB

The MLB commissioner finalized a 60-game schedule for the 2020 season back in July. Spring training began July 1 and the regular season is likely ending on September 27. If you want to watch MLB games live, they're usually broadcast on TBS, MLB, and Fox networks. With the MLB app, you can get live game day audio, updates and expert analysis, and condensed games and highlight clips. With MLB Extra Innings seasonal special access, you'll be able to watch up to 90 games at home every week on Cox. Cox subscribers can use the Contour Stream Player, install the Fox app on their devices to watch and login with a cable provider, or install a TV service like YouTube TV or Sling and subscribe. 

Tournaments and Championships

In addition to the above seasons starting and events happening, tons of tournaments and championship events (like the NCAA Tournament and the NCAA Wrestling Championships) are still scheduled to take place. However, checking back for updates as the coronavirus pandemic continues to remain a threat is wise because things could change at any moment.

Watching Live Sports is Easy

Watching live sports right now shouldn't be too difficult with all of the above methods available. Find a way that suits you and gets you the best connection so you don't miss a thing when game day rolls around. Get yourself set up ahead of time so you can have the best possible live sports viewing experience.
