You don't need cable to watch sports anymore. Here's how to build your cord-cutting sports setup:
Start with YouTube TV ($73/mo) or Hulu + Live TV ($77/mo). Both include ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, and most regional sports networks. YouTube TV has unlimited DVR.
Add the specific league packages for your favorite sports. Most are $15-25/mo and only during the season. Cancel when the season ends.
A $30 HD antenna gets you NBC, CBS, Fox, and ABC for free — that's NFL, college football, and more in full HD. No monthly cost.
Many league apps offer free highlights, scores, and select games. NFL+ mobile is $7/mo. Check your local library for sports streaming access.
