How To Watch MSG Network Online without Cable

Sport’s fans living in New York City are missing out if they don’t have MSG Network. The network has the New York metro area TV broadcast rights for the following teams:

• New York Knicks (NBA)
• New York Rangers (NHL)
• New York Islanders (NHL)
• New Jersey Devils (NHL)
• New York Red Bulls (MLS)

However, you don’t need cable to watch MSG network. The TV streaming services covered in this article all carry MSG network if you live in the MSG Network broadcast area which consist of New York, Central New Jersey, Northern New Jersey, Southern Connecticut, and Northern Pennsylvania.

fuboTV Carries MSG Network

fuboTV offers subscribers local and cable TV channels just as if you subscribed to a cable TV package. Currently, they are the only live streaming service that offers MSG Network as part of their channel lineup. You can watch the MSG Network through fuboTV online or on your TV using a supported streaming device like a Roku or Fire TV Stick. 

Like cable, MSG Network is only available through fuboTV if you live in the Houston TV market. I recommend checking their website to find the channels they offer in your area using this link.
