Story Highlights

DIRECTV today announced MySports, what the company calls a cutting-edge sports pack that is the first of its kind as a more tailored package of channels for fans looking for 24-7 sports. At launch, MySports includes 40 sports and broadcast channels and is initially available in 24 metro areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, and others.

Bill Morrow of DIRECTV says the launch of MySports gives sports fans more control over their pay TV package.

The introduction of MySports from DIRECTV delivers consumers greater choice, flexibility, and control to select the type of content they want to watch at the right value, says Bill Morrow, CEO of DIRECTV. This is the first of several genre-based options we plan to launch over the coming months on our path towards a brighter TV future for consumers.

The availability of MySports will expand into additional markets as DIRECTV adds more local stations to the package.

Sports fans can stream MySports through the DIRECTV app on mobile devices or popular platforms like Roku, Amazon Fire, and Apple TV. MySports will also make it easier to catch every play through game-time notifications and the ability to watch now on live TV or later through unlimited cloud DVR.

The streamlined MySports package includes national and local channels in select markets, as well as live news channels. National sports channels immediately available through MySports include ACC Network, Big Ten Network, DIRECTV 4K Live, DIRECTV 4K Live 2, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NHL Network, SEC Network, TBS, TNT, TruTV and USA Network. Local channels will initially include any stations owned and operated by ABC, FOX, and NBC, with additional stations coming online soon.

Additional networks, local stations and ESPN+, will be included in MySports at no extra cost in the near future.

In addition, as with all DIRECTV packages, MySports customers will also have access to the MyFree DIRECTV ad-supported sports channels, which includes ACC Digital Network, Big 12, Fight Network, Fuel TV, Origin Sports, Pickleball TV, Players TV, Sports Grid, Stadium Stream, Surfer TV, Swerve Combat, T2, The Jim Rome Show, TNA, Torque by History, Waypoint TV and Women's Sports Network.
