Sports channels on Hulu Live

You’ve probably seen those ever-present “Hulu has live sports!” commercials, and Hulu + Live TV mostly lives up to the hype. With 13 major sports channels, including a suite of ESPN channels and both FS1 and FS2 from FOX, it’s as sports loaded as a basic cable package.

But, Hulu + Live TV is missing sport-specific channels like NBA TV, MLB Network, FOX Soccer Plus, and NHL Network. Also, while Hulu + Live TV carries NBC RSNs (regional sports networks), it recently dropped FOX RSNs, along with YES Network and Marquee Sports Network.

Hulu channel hubs

The on-demand side of Hulu + Live TV Hulu displays a “Hubs” section featuring shows and movies from 50 broadcast and cable channels.

Hulu’s channel hubs don’t include every show or movie on these networks, just those contracted to Hulu for a specific length of time.
