Streamer's Spotlight: How to Stream XFL Games Live

While cord-cutting is now viable for many NFL fans, does that also extend to the brand-new XFL league? The simple answer: Yes! There are several low-cost cord-cutting options available for football fans interested in watching all of the XFL games coming down the pipeline.

Where Can I Watch the XFL?

The XFL struck deals with Disney and FOX. Games will be broadcast on local broadcast networks for ABC and FOX, as well as on FOX Sports 1 and 2, and ESPN1 and 2.

So, much like the NFL, games are a bit all over the place in regard to where you can watch them. In fact, for cord-cutters, the only streaming services that carry all of those channels ta a reasonable price are

YouTube TV

($49.99 per month) and

Hulu with Live TV

($54.99 per month).

Outside of these two services, you can piecemeal your way through other options. For example, you can get FOX Sports 1 and ESPN through

Sling TV

through its Orange + Blue package ($45 per month). Sling TV also carries FOX in select markets, but no ABC.

Then there's

AT&T TV Now

. You can get all of the necessary channels through that service, but your cost of entry is high at a minimum of $65 per month.

There's also the new

Vidgo

service, which you can use for ESPN 1 and 2, FOX Sports 1 and 2, and FOX. Meanwhile,

FuboTV

carries FOX, ABC, and FOX Sports 1 and 2, but no ESPN.

Complicated? Yes, indeed. But this is why you may just want to stick with Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV for XFL.

Can I Use the Same Services for XFL and NFL?

If you've already cut the cord for the NFL, you may or may not have one of the aforementioned services. While NFL fans tend to focus on a team, XFL viewers can watch every game nationally, without regional restrictions. All you need is the right streaming service. For some fans, that could mean sticking with what you already have, but for others, it could mean switching to a new provider.
