How To Watch Sports on Hulu + Live TV

We believe Hulu + Live TV is one of the best live TV streaming services for sports because of its winning combo: a strong channel lineup, ESPN+ thrown in, and loads of great on-demand sports documentaries and series.

And it’s super convenient that Hulu’s interface includes ESPN+ content in its library, so you don’t have to jump back and forth to see your sports-watching options.

If you want to watch live professional and college sports games, UFC fights, 30 for 30 documentaries, and The Waterboy all in one place, you’ve found it.

Which sports channels does Hulu + Live TV have?

Hulu + Live TV comes stacked with around 15 sports channels, including big hitters like ESPN, NFL Network, and MLB Network, as well as college conference favorites. It covers a lot of ground, whether you’re into pro leagues or Saturday college showdowns.

What really sets it apart, though, is the combo of a strong channel lineup and built-in ESPN+ access. That tag team is why we ranked Hulu + Live TV as the Best of the Best for College Sports in our 2025 Best Sports Streaming Services guide. With Hulu, you’re getting two powerful sports platforms in one subscription—and that’s tough to beat.

Which sports channels does Hulu + Live TV’s sports add-on have?

The Hulu Sports Add-on is only worth it if you want the greatest channel on Earth: NFL RedZone. (It also includes my personal favorite, Tennis Channel.) But I’ve also gotta say, this add-on’s a no-brainer if your weekends revolve around horsepower or hiking boots.

For $9.99 a month, you get these seven channels in the Hulu + Live TV Sports Add-on:

• Fanduel Racing
• MAVTV Motorsports Network
• MLB Network Strike Zone
• NFL RedZone
• Outdoor Channel
• Sportsman Channel
• Tennis Channel

You get ESPN+ with Hulu Live or in a bundle with Hulu

Hulu + Live TV comes with ESPN+ and Disney+, so you can get double the game coverage for one price.

You won’t get much NBA coverage, but I take advantage of ESPN+ to stream Monday Night Football games that air on ABC. And if you also like to watch UFC number fights like me, ESPN+ is a no-hesitation move.

Here are some popular live sports you can watch with ESPN+:

If you want to save money and ditch the live TV part, you can get the Disney+ Bundle Trio, which includes ESPN+ and the on-demand version of Hulu. Even if you don’t choose the bundle, you can still enjoy 50 exclusive NHL games with ESPN+ alone.

I like how Hulu gives you many bundle options to suit your wallet and your patience level. But of course, we can all agree that ads are like fouls in basketball—annoying interruptions to the flow of the game.

And I must put a disclaimer that with the $96 plan, regular commercials will still be in your live TV watching, but not in Hulu’s grand on-demand library.

Which on-demand sports content does Hulu have?

Hulu’s on-demand sports library is filled with on-demand shows from sports networks, sports movies, and some content you’d find on ESPN+.

Take a look at this strong lineup:

ESPN+ is a whole other ball game.

This sports streaming service is home to 30 for 30 movies, along with some of the best sports documentaries. And the ESPN+ Originals are nothing to pass over.

Here are a few titles you can enjoy after watching your team win (hopefully):

To add to the on-demand greatness, ESPN+ offers nearly 75 recent event replays of NCAA sports, golf tournaments, NBA G League, and UFC fights. Also, if you’re anticipating the next UFC main event, there’s a whole section dedicated to getting you pumped for it.
