Cable Cutters, Rejoice!
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
For those who've ditched the cable box and embraced the streaming revolution, there are a few homerun options:
- Bally Sports App (if you're in Rangers Territory): This is your holy grail, my friends. Bally Sports Southwest is the official broadcaster for the Rangers, so if you live in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, or parts of New Mexico, this app is your golden ticket (assuming you have a cable or streaming service that carries Bally Sports Southwest, that is). Just download the app, sign in with your cable provider info, and BAM! Instant Rangers action.
- MLB.tv (for out-of-market Rangers fans): This is your best bet if you're outside of Rangers territory. For a monthly or yearly fee, you can stream out-of-market Rangers games (with some blackout restrictions, but hey, no service is perfect). Plus, you get access to games from all the other teams, so you can brush up on your American League knowledge (or, you know, laugh at the Astros wink wink).
- Streaming Services with Bally Sports Southwest (check your location): Services like FuboTV, YouTube TV (depending on your location), and DirecTV Stream offer Bally Sports Southwest in their channel lineups. This can be a great option if you want to catch the Rangers and other regional sports channels.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
Still Rockin' the Cable Box?
If you're holding onto your cable package tighter than Joey Gallo to a good breaking ball (too soon?), then you're probably good to go with Bally Sports Southwest. Just make sure that's included in your channel lineup.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
