If you live in the Penguins TV market, you can watch most of those games on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Those teams’ games used to air on AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh. However, AT&T sold the channel to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the channel has been rebranded as SportsNet Pittsburgh. In welcome news to fans, little has changed in the way of distribution, and the channel is still available on DIRECTV STREAM and fubo.
DIRECTV STREAM Carries SportsNet Pittsburgh
DIRECTV STREAM provides SportsNet Pittsburgh their “Choice” package for $108.99 per month. They also carry FOX, ESPN, and TBS, so if a Penguins game airs nationally, it will be on one of those networks.
