When Peacock isn't running any sort of special (which it does a few times per year — keep an eye out around Black Friday), the best Peacock deal for most people on any given day is the annual subscription plan. When you pay upfront for the year, you'll end up getting 12 months for the price of 10. A monthly subscription with ads usually costs $10.99 per month (which adds up to $131.88), but paying upfront drops that price to only $109.99 (which breaks down to $9.17 per month).

The Peacock Premium Plus plan costs $169.99 per year (which breaks down to about $14.16 per month instead of $16.99) and offers ad-free content. Live sports, however, will still include ads. If you're subscribing to Peacock specifically for NBA games, you might as well go for the cheaper option.”

   Quote: “Can TikTok save baseball? Why we like it If you're looking to stream your home team's games on not only their RSN but also national broadcasts, Fubo gives you the most comprehensive coverage. Be sure to double-check that your team's RSN is listed in the Fubo channel list before committing (just search on the main page). Beyond the widest RSN coverage, it also gives you access to most of the main networks for national broadcasts — ABC/ESPN, Fox/FS1, MLB Network, NBC — with the exception of TBS. For those, you can just snag an HBO Max subscription. The Pro plan usually costs $73.99 per month, but you can get your first month for only $48.99 after a five-day trial. Other live TV streaming options While Fubo is the most comprehensive option for MLB coverage, there are also some honorable mentions: DirecTV Stream — Choice package includes RSNs and major broadcast channels for $101/month (plus fees) Sling TV — A la carte channel selection, starting at $29.99/month for your first month (no RSNs)”

The first round of the 2026 NHL playoffs kicks off this weekend after one of the wildest endings to the regular season. I'm still flabbergasted that the Buffalo Sabres are at the top of the Atlantic division and that the Philadelphia Flyers managed to clinch a playoff berth with only 26 regulation wins. The best ways to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs at a glance: The most games for the lowest price Sling TV Orange plan $115 for 3 months (save $22.97) Get Deal FOR TNT/TBS GAMES HBO Max Standard $18.49/month or $184.99/year Shop Now For ESPN/ABC games ESPN Unlimited $29.99/month Shop Now BEST INTRO PRICE YouTube TV Sports plan 10-day free trial, then $54.99/month for 1 year (save $120) Get Deal It's been a pretty exciting year for hockey in general. Team USA bringing home the gold at the Olympics brought the NHL many new spectators. Beyond that, the smash hit Heated Rivalry also put a surprising spotlight on the league. New fans are in for a treat this postseason, as playoff hockey takes the action and the energy to new heights.”
