How to stream Bally Sports Florida on Roku, Smart TVs, Fire TV and Apple TV
DIRECTV STREAM includes Bally Sports Florida in the Choice channel bundle.
The Choice plan, which carries 90+ channels, is $89.99 per month. Compared to other live TV streaming services, DIRECTV STREAM is on the higher-priced side of the spectrum.

Subscribers can get three months of HBO Max, Cinemax, Showtime and EPIX for free before the regular rate kicks in. You can sign up for a free 5-day trial with DIRECTV STREAM. If you don’t want to keep the service, cancel online before the trial ends.

Subscribers to the Choice plan get a wide variety of sports channels including ESPN, ESPN2, FS1 and MLB Network.
All of your local ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Telemundo and Univision channels are included. And you get top cable TV channels such as TNT, History, CNN and A&E. The Choice plan includes unlimited Cloud DVR to record live TV shows and sporting events.
There are more than 40,000 on-demand movies and TV episodes. You can watch live TV on up to 20 screens at once. And you don’t need to pay for a cable box.

Why can’t I stream Bally Sports Florida on Hulu or YouTube TV?
There was a time when regional Bally Sports channels — under the FOX Sports brand — were available on a number of live TV streaming services. That included Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV, fuboTV and YouTube TV.
These streaming services have yet to strike a long-term agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group since the company took ownership of 21 regional Fox Sports networks in 2019.
Sinclair has announced plans to launch its own direct-to-consumer Bally Sports streaming service in 2022. But it currently does not have streaming rights to all the teams it plans for the service.
