The Chicago White Sox's lackluster performance has pushed them to the bottom of the American League Central. However, with a roster full of talented players like Lenyn Sosa and Andrew Benintendi, their games are still full of excitement and promise.
For White Sox fans hoping to stream games live, you’ve come to the right place. Our guide covers which channels you’ll need to air every White Sox game live. We’ll also highlight the best streaming platforms to catch baseball action all season long.
For Chicago-based fans, you’ll need a package with Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) since many contests air on this channel. It’s also ideal to have ESPN, Fox, Fox Sports 1, the MLB Network and TBS to catch nationally televised games.
For out-of-market fans, you’ll also want to consider the MLB.TV. Below is a look at the live TV streaming platforms best equipped for your viewing needs:

DIRECTV STREAM is one of the best streaming options for Sox fans due to their sweeping coverage of White Sox action. You'll need the Choice package to get access to regional broadcasts and full national coverage. This plan will give you ESPN, TBS, Chicago Sports Network, Fox, Fox Sports 1 and the MLB Network. Additionally, the platform comes with unlimited device streams and DVR space making it a perfect option for larger households with diverse viewing habits.
Fubo is another great option that includes substantial regional and national coverage. Fubo's Pro package features a wide variety of channels, up to 10 simultaneous streams, and unlimited Cloud DVR storage. Depending on plan and area, White Sox fans can enjoy access to ESPN, Fox, FS1, Chicago Sports Network and the MLB Network. The only drawback is you’ll miss any games airing on TBS since Fubo doesn’t have that channel. That aside, Fubo offers Chicago fans a more affordable way to stream their team all season long.
While Hulu + Live TV carried the White Sox regional broadcasts last season, CHSN's takeover of Sox action has changed the accessibility of regional coverage. Hulu + Live TV's 95+ channels of live TV will have Sox games appear on the MLB Network, Fox, Fox Sports 1, TBS and ESPN. Their national coverage allows you to stream every national broadcast, including the All-Star game, the playoffs and the World Series. On top of this, you can package Hulu’s live TV service with the Disney Bundle for the ultimate entertainment offering.
Sling TV is wildly affordable and allows viewers to select the package that best suits their needs. White Sox fans will want the Orange & Blue package, which includes ESPN, TBS and Fox Sports 1. You can also add the MLB Network through the Sports Extra package for an extra monthly cost. While you won't get regional coverage, its low price point makes it the perfect option to pair national coverage with a subscription that covers standard broadcasts through a RSN or MLB.TV.
YouTube TV is one of the best options for sports fans seeking an affordable streaming platform. The base package includes over 100 channels, unlimited recording space, and tons of sports content. White Sox fans can stream games on ESPN, Fox, Fox Sports 1, TBS and NBC Sports Chicago. Unfortunately, YouTube TV couldn’t reach an agreement to continue to carry the MLB Network, meaning you'll miss out on some games and extra MLB highlights and content.
MLB has partnered with Apple TV+ to bring back Friday Night Baseball for a fourth straight season. This will be a weekly double-header featuring intriguing matchups exclusively on Apple TV+ over 26 weeks. Unfortunately, the White Sox were not selected for any matchups on FNB, making this purchase only worth it for general baseball fans. While Apple TV+ may not have much White Sox content, its affordable price makes it worth considering.

MLB.TV is an excellent way for White Sox fans living outside of Chicago to stream games live. The platform features three packages that include access to all White Sox games that are not in your area as long as they don’t broadcast on national networks.
In addition to streaming games live MLB.TV offers local and postgame shows. You can stream MLB games on all your devices, including smartphones, TVs, tablets and video game consoles.
Chicago Sports Network has taken over NBC Sports Chicago to be the regional provider of White Sox broadcasts. You can access CHSN through their website, DIRECTV STREAM, or Fubo.
You’ll need a streaming service that offers ESPN, Fox, Fox Sports 1, TBS, Chicago Sports Network and the MLB Network. Out-of-market fans should consider MLB.TV to stream games not airing on national networks.
Streaming services like Fubo and DIRECTV STREAM offer CHSN in their packages. Once subscribed, you can access the channel on your streaming service or visit Chicago Sports Network's website via log in to access White Sox games.
No, MLB.TV isn’t free with Amazon Prime, but you can still sign up, pay for a subscription and watch MLB.TV through Prime Video.
