Monumental Sports Network has unveiled direct-to-consumer (DTC) subscription memberships for local fans without a Pay TV subscription seeking to access Monumental Sports Network's live and on-demand programming.
These new DTC memberships include in-market access to live games for the NHL's Washington Capitals, the NBA's Washington Wizards, and the WNBA's Washington Mystics, amongst other live games, original programs, and tangible membership perks. Current viewers who access the network's channel through a Pay TV provider will continue to be able to watch Monumental Sports Network the same way as before, as well as via Monumental Sports Network's newly launched digital platform with no additional fees.

Fans can purchase monthly or annual memberships priced at $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year at www.monumentalsportsnetwork.com or by downloading the Monumental Sports Network app on iOS, Android, Apple TV, or Roku. Subscribers can also utilize the app on Amazon Fire TV.
We are delighted to make our network more accessible to fans without a Pay TV subscription by launching direct-to-consumer memberships, says Zach Leonsis, President of Media & New Enterprises at Monumental Sports & Entertainment. Distributing our programming in new and additional ways is critical to our strategy of building the best local media platform in sports.
The DTC launch comes just ahead of the start of the NHL and NBA regular seasons, with games beginning later this month. Fans who purchase a DTC subscription will also be able to watch several Capitals and Wizards pre-season games on the network, starting with the Wizards game vs. Cairns Taipans (a National Basketball League team from Australia) on Tuesday, Oct 10th at 7pm ET.
The new digital platform provides fans with new and enhanced video functionality for live streaming of games, on-demand viewing of original programming and game replays, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and more. Monumental Sports Network's new digital presence is optimized across desktop, tablet, and mobile experiences. Users who already had the previous Monumental Sports Network app downloaded on their digital devices will receive a new version of the app via a standard app update.
Additional features of the new digital experience include:
Access to multiple camera angles during live home games, with additional functionality including the ability to rewind and watch in slow motion.
Personalization features that tailor a user's experience toward their favorite teams and players.
Access to hundreds of hours of original behind-the-scenes programming, new shows including Hometown with Rachel Nichols, and much more.

Ticketmaster integration for ticket management and account linking.
Consistent look and feel across all platforms, allowing for an intuitive experience across all devices.

In addition, the first 10,000 subscribers to the network's new Annual Membership will receive an exclusive, limited-edition bobblehead set of three featuring Alex Ovechkin, Kyle Kuzma, and Elena Delle Donne. Each bobblehead includes a built-in audio feature that plays signature game calls from Monumental play-by-play announcers.
Pay TV subscribers receive all the same benefits as Annual Membership subscribers for free by signing in with their TV Everywhere (TVE) credentials on the online platform. Existing TVE users can expect a communication explaining and granting their new membership benefits this week.
