Quick Answer: DIRECTV’s MySports Genre Pack gets you 20+ channels covering pro and college football, plus MLB, NHL and golf, for $64.99 per month, with ESPN Unlimited Plan included at no extra cost. MySports is currently available at a promotional rate of $49.99 for your first month.

If you’re a football fan, you may be finding yourself overwhelmed these days with all the options for streaming games. Most of the key channels are available on a variety of different streaming services. But in many cases they come bundled with dozens of non-sports channels as well, sometimes an additional 100 channels or more.

DIRECTV has a simple solution. With its MySports Genre Pack, you can get everything you’re looking for, without paying for channels you don’t need. It includes the basics, like ESPN and TNT, along with channels that otherwise belong to DIRECTV’s more premium tiers, like the ACC Network and TruTV, and it’s available at a lower price than many of DIRECTV’s other premium packages.

Here’s how DIRECTV’s My Sports package can help you start saving money today without missing a single game.

How can you watch pro and college football games without paying for 100+ channels you don’t watch?

DIRECTV’s MySports solve the problems of games you want to watch being dispersed among too many channels by collecting all of the best sports channels into a single pack.

Sports games are broadcast on a wide variety of different networks, and in the past, it’s been impossible for many sports fans to find a single streaming package that includes the sports content they want. In fact, some sports columnists have argued that the cost for sports fans was so high that it was becoming more cost-effective to go back to cable. If you don’t want to do that, DIRECTV’s MySports is a good alternative.

What is DIRECTV MySports, and what channels does it include?

MySports is one of DIRECTV’s Genre Packs (or a “skinny bundle” in industry parlance). It’s targeted toward consumers who have a very defined set of streaming needs, which helps keep the price low, in this case only $49.99 for the first month (regularly $64.99 per month).

The exact channel lineup varies depending on where you live (and you can check the offerings in your region here). But it’s guaranteed to include ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, Golf Channel, SEC Network, BIG Ten Network, MLB Network, TBS, TNT, CBS, CBS Sports Network and NHL Network.

The package also includes the ESPN Unlimited Plan, as a bonus covered by DIRECTV. Besides the channels listed above, that gives you access to every ESPN network (including ESPNU, ESPNEWS and ESPN DESPORTES, and covers postseason coverage from the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, MLB and College Football Playoff. And it includes studio shows like SportsCenter, First Take and College GameDay.

Does MySports cover both pro football and college football?

Yes, MySports offers extensive access to football games, both collegiate and pro. It includes every network that broadcasts college football, like ABC, CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FOX, FS1, NBC and The CW, among others. For conference-specific coverage, you’ll also get the SEC Network, ACC Network and Big 10 Network. College games also play on ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, CBS and CBS Sports Network, all of which are part of the MySports package. 

As for pro football, MySports again gives you access to most of the action with access to a broad array of networks: Sunday afternoon games on CBS and FOX, Sunday night games on NBC and Monday night games on ESPN and ABC, plus the Thanksgiving tripleheader and the Super Bowl [1].

What add-ons does DIRECTV MySports have for die-hard fans (and other sports)?

If that’s still not enough, one of DIRECTV’s add-ons might be right for you. The MySportsExtra Mini Pack, at $13.99 per month (right now no cost for first month), gives you access to NFL RedZone from NFL Network, which lets you watch every touchdown in every Sunday afternoon game, with seven hours of coverage and up to eight games on screen at a time. The MySports Extra Mini Pack also comes with a long list of non-football channels: MLB Strike Zone, Willow TV (for international cricket matches), RACER Network, the Outdoor Channel and more.

If local sports are your focus, DIRECTV’s MyHome Team Mini Pack at $19.99 per month might be the package for you. It provides live pregame, postgame and in-game action to fans of particular NHL, NBA and MLB teams (plus teams in other sports). For local sports coverage, the MyNews add-on is also worth considering [3].

Here’s a full breakdown of what DIRECTV’s genre packs offer, from sports to other categories.
