Watch Every Penguins Game This Season

• Pittsburgh Penguins TV Market: Western, Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Eastern Ohio, Western Maryland, and Southwestern New York
• Best Solution when inside their TV Market: Watch on AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh through the DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” plan (5-day free trial). You can also watch on fuboTV (1-week free trial) which is more affordable but lacks TNT, so you will miss nationally televised NHL games .
• Best Solution when living Outside the Penguins TV Market: Watch nearly all Penguins games on ESPN+ (sign up online). The Penguins only have a few games scheduled to air on TNT, NHL Network, and ESPN which won’t be on ESPN+. Read on to learn how to watch those nationally televised games.
