The Liberty have one of the best rosters in the league. Former #1 draft pick Breanna Stewart, who joined the team from free agency last season, is leading the team in scoring. The Liberty also have 2021 WNBA MVP Jonquel Jones and two-time All-Star Sabrina Ionescu. 

Below, find out everything you need to know to watch the New York Liberty try to reclaim WNBA glory. There are a mix of channels you need along with an Amazon Prime Video subscription to watch all of the New York Liberty games this year. 


What channels are New York Liberty games on?

If you don’t (or can’t) subscribe to Liberty Live, the streaming service dedicated to New York Liberty games that’s only available in the New York region, then the chart below will help you figure out what is the best service to use to watch the team. All of the below options carry the local Fox affiliate in select area codes, which is where many locally broadcast games will air.

Watch the New York Liberty on DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV Stream logo
  • Pricing begins at $86.99/mo
  • 90+ live TV channels
  • Free trial available

DIRECTV STREAM is a top option for watching the New York Liberty because it carries Fox for locally broadcast games as well as all the channels you need to watch nationally broadcast games. For regional sports networks, you’ll need to upgrade to the Choice package, and if you choose the highest-tier package, the Premier package, you’ll also get premium streaming services like Max, Paramount Plus and STARZ

Every package includes ESPN, but if you upgrade to the Choice package, you'll also get NBA TV, MLB Network, ESPN2, ESPNU, and FS1. The Sports Pack add-on will give you NFL Network, FanDuel Sports Network, and more. DIRECTV STREAM also offers streaming on up to 10 devices at home and unlimited Cloud DVR storage, so your family can watch together, on separate screens, or on the go.


Watch the New York Liberty on Fubo

  • Pricing begins at $84.99/mo.
  • 211+ live TV channels
  • Free trial available

If DIRECTV STREAM is out of your price range, check out Fubo, which also offers the channels you need to watch New York Liberty games. Prices are a bit lower, but you’ll have a regional sports fee tacked on to your monthly cost and you’ll need add-ons for some channels, including NBA TV.

The Fubo Extra add-on comes with NBA TV, NHL Network and MLB Network, plus entertainment options like MTV Classic, Teen Nick, FX Movies, and more. If you're also a football fan, consider the Sports Plus add-on with NFL Red Zone. It comes with the above sports channels, plus MLB Strike Zone and ESPNU

Each Fubo plan allows you to stream on up to 10 devices at home and provides unlimited Cloud DVR storage.


Watch the New York Liberty on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu logo
  • Pricing begins at $82.99/mo
  • 95+ live TV channels
  • 3-day free trial

Hulu + Live TV will allow you to watch most New York Liberty games, but it does not carry ION or NBA TV in any package, so you will miss a few nationally broadcast games without WNBA League Pass or Liberty Live for local fans. However, the Hulu + Live TV bundles not only give you the Hulu streaming service, but Disney Plus and ESPN Plus for extra entertainment and sports options. 

Hulu + Live TV also comes with unlimited Cloud DVR and you can stream on up to two screens at a time. You can create up to six profiles on every account to keep your family streaming queues separate.


Watch the New York Liberty on Sling TV

  • Pricing begins at $45.99/mo.
  • 35+ live TV channels
  • Free trial currently unavailable

Sling is a great affordable option, but even if you get the Sling Orange & Blue plan and a sports add-on you won't have every channel you need to watch nationally broadcast Liberty games. While Sling carries local ABC and Fox affiliates in certain New York zip codes, it does not carry the local CBS channel, which is a detractor for local fans. You are also missing ION and CBS Sports Network, which will also carry nationally broadcast Liberty games. You'll also need the Sports Extra add-on to get NBA TV. 

Sling plans come with up to 50 hours of DVR storage and you can stream on up to four devices at a time. Even if you subscribe to the most premium Orange & Blue plan with the Sports Extra package, you'll still be spending less per month than many of the other services on this list.


Watch the New York Liberty on YouTube TV

  • Pricing begins at $82.99/mo
  • 100+ live TV channels
  • Free trial available

YouTube TV is another service that has you covered when looking to watch the New York Liberty games, both locally and nationally. It carries local CBS and Fox affiliates in most areas for nationally broadcast games and also has ABC, ESPN, NBA TV and ION. Football fans may also be tempted by YouTube TV because it’s the exclusive home of NFL Sunday Ticket. 

The Base Plan includes over 100 channels including the NFL Network and more sports options. YouTube TV also has the Key Plays View feature, which allows you to review key moments in a game. You can set up six different profiles and stream on three screens simultaneously. Unlimited DVR space is also included with every plan.


How to watch out-of-market New York Liberty Games with WNBA League Pass

If you’re a New York Liberty fan who lives outside of the New York City metro area but wants access to every locally broadcast game, then you should consider a WNBA League Pass subscription. The app streams all WNBA games (save for blacked-out nationally broadcast ones). You can watch the games live or on-demand throughout the entire season. If you only want New York Liberty games, check out Liberty Live, which allows you to subscribe directly for streams of the team’s games.
