Questions people actually ask

Real questions from real readers — and direct answers from 22 years of install experience.

Does ESPN+ have every out-of-market NHL game?

ESPN+ has every out-of-market regular-season game ($11.99/mo) — yes, all 1,071 of them. National games (ABC, ESPN, TNT) are blacked out on ESPN+ to protect the national windows. So you need ESPN+ plus a way to get TNT/ESPN/ABC nationals. YouTube TV / Hulu+Live / DirecTV Stream all carry ESPN and ABC. TNT is on every major live TV service through 2025-26.

Will the Stanley Cup Final be free over the antenna?

Yes — Stanley Cup Final airs on ABC over the air. Free antenna covers all games. Earlier playoff rounds split between ESPN, TBS, and TNT (paid services). Use a Roku Channel or Pluto live guide to find ABC if your antenna's missing the affiliate.
