The MySports bundle offered by DirecTV includes the ESPN and Fox Sports Networks, the Golf Channel, TBS, TNT, TruTB, USA Network, and networks from the NHL, NFL, NBA and MLB. A complete list of available channels can be found on DirecTV’s website. Local ABC, Fox, and NBC stations are available in select markets only. CBS channels are currently not available in the bundle.

DirecTV says, “additional networks, local stations and ESPN+, will be included in MySports at no extra cost in the near future” and that customers will also have access to MyFree DirecTV ad-supported sports channels.

If MySports is available in your area, you can subscribe to it on DirecTV’s website. The service costs $70 a month, but a promotion offers a $20 monthly discount for the first three months. The service is cheaper than YouTube TV, which recently raised its price to $83 per month. DirecTV plans to launch more “genre-specific” bundles like MySports in the first half of 2025.
