Bally Sports Sun will often air first round Lightning playoff series, however, as the Lightning go deeper in the playoffs, the NHL’s TV contracts with Disney and Turner Sports dictate that the games will air on ABC, ESPN, TNT, or TBS. How to watch the Lightning on DIRECTV STREAM In order to watch the Lightning games that air on Bally Sports Sun, fans in Tampa will have to upgrade to the more expensive “Choice” package. With DIRECTV STREAM “Choice, ” sports fans in Florida can watch in-market MLB, NHL, and NBA games, as well as Tom Brady and the Buccaneers on WTVT FOX 13 Tampa Bay. DIRECTV STREAM has recently upgraded its DVR storage, offering a hybrid unlimited DVR that does cap episodes of shows at 30 episodes. How to watch the Lightning on Bally Sports Plus With Bally Sports Plus, Lightning fans who live inside the Tampa Bay TV market, and some surrounding Florida markets, can watch only the Lightning games that appear on Bally Sports Sun.
With a DIRECTV STREAM subscription, you can live stream Lightning games on most major streaming devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, iPhone, and more. Like DIRECTV STREAM “Choice, ” Bally Sports Plus carries Bally Sports Sun, the regional sports network that airs about 70 Lightning regular season games to local fans each season. However, due to the limited number of devices supported by Bally Sports Plus, as well as the lack of key channels that broadcast marquee NHL games, our top pick for watching the Lightning is DIRECTV STREAM “Choice. ” Out-of-market Lightning fans can watch the team on ESPN+.
