You Want Philly Sports? We Got You Covered (But Maybe Not on DIRECTV)
Ah, the City of Brotherly Love, cheesesteaks, and the never-ending quest to catch a glimpse of Gritty just casually walking down the street (seriously, has anyone ever figured out where that orange fuzzball gets to?). But hey, who are we to judge? We all have our obsessions, and for some of you out there, that obsession is Philly sports. The 76ers are ballin', the Phillies are hittin' dingers, and let's not forget the Eagles... well, they're definitely there [insert shrugging emoji here].
The problem? You want to catch all the action from the comfort of your couch, but DIRECTV doesn't exactly play ball with NBC Sports Philadelphia. We know, we know, it's a real head-scratcher. Here's the thing: these two giants can't quite agree on a price, so NBC Sports Philadelphia is sitting this party out.
But fear not, fellow Philadelphian (or honorary one)! There are still ways to get your fix. Here are a few options, because we're nothing if not helpful (and slightly jealous of your cheesesteak access):
- Hit the high seas (of legal streaming services, that is): There are a number of streaming services out there that might carry NBC Sports Philadelphia, depending on your location and package. Do your research, choose your weapon, and get ready to cheer (or boo, depending on the team's performance).
- Become best friends with your neighbor (who hopefully has the right cable package): This might involve strategically placed lawn ornaments in team colors, strategically timed batches of cookies, or maybe even offering to walk their dog (because who can resist the puppy dog eyes?). Just be prepared to explain why you need their login info (you know, for research purposes).
Look, we get it. Sometimes you just want to turn on the TV and BAM! Instant Philly sports. But hey, a little creativity never hurt anyone. Besides, the extra effort might just make those victories all the sweeter.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
