Alright, so the other day I was trying to figure out how to watch the Texas Rangers game. I’m a huge fan, but I don’t have cable anymore. It’s all about streaming these days, right?
First, I did a bit of digging around to see what my options were. Turns out, there are a few services that carry the channels you need to watch the Rangers.
FuboTV
One of the first things I tried was FuboTV. It seemed like a solid choice because they carry Bally Sports Southwest, which is the main channel for Rangers games in my area. Plus, they have FOX, FS1, and ESPN, so I figured I’d be covered for most games.
- Tried signing up for a FuboTV trial.
- Checked if Bally Sports Southwest was available in my zip code.
- Navigated to the sports section to find the Rangers game.
It was pretty easy to get set up with Fubo. I just signed up for a trial, and boom, I was watching the game. The quality was good, and I didn’t have any buffering issues. I felt pretty good about this option.
Hulu + Live TV
Then I remembered that Hulu + Live TV also has some sports channels. I checked, and they have FOX and FS1, but they don’t carry Bally Sports Southwest. Bummer. So, this wouldn’t really work for me if I wanted to catch all the Rangers games.
- Checked my existing Hulu account.
- Explored the Live TV options to see available channels.
Hulu + Live TV is cool and all, but not having Bally Sports Southwest was a deal-breaker for me. It was not a good fit for my goal of watching the Rangers.
DirecTV Stream
Next, I looked into DirecTV Stream. This one seemed promising because they have the Choice Plan, which includes FOX, FS1, ESPN, and Bally Sports Southwest. It’s a bit pricier, but I thought, “Hey, if it means I can watch all the games, it might be worth it.”
- Explored the different DirecTV Stream plans.
- Compared the channel lineups to see which one had all the necessary channels.
- Signed up for the Choice Plan.
I signed up for the Choice Plan, and it worked like a charm. I had access to all the channels I needed, and the streaming quality was great. I watched the game without any problems, and I was pretty happy with the experience.
Final Thoughts
In the end, I found that both FuboTV and DirecTV Stream are great options for watching the Texas Rangers. FuboTV is a bit cheaper and has all the right channels. DirecTV Stream is more expensive, but the Choice Plan covers everything you need. I decided to stick with DirecTV Stream for now because I like having all the channels in one place.
So, yeah, that’s how I figured out how to stream the Texas Rangers games. It took a bit of trial and error, but I’m glad I finally found a way to watch my team without cable. Go Rangers!
