Bellator MMAYouTube TVDAZNfuboDirecTV StreamParamount+HuluHow to watch

Cord-cutters can watch Bellator MMA live without cable using one of the following six options: fubo, Hulu + Live TV, DAZN, Paramount+, DirecTV Stream, and YouTube TV. Outside of DAZN, the key channel you need is CBS Sports Network, which has an existing contact for Bellator MMA games. In this article, we'll help you decide which streaming option is best for Bellator. Let's get started.

We also have lightweight and completely free streaming TV guides for live TV services such as fuboTV. You can easily find current and upcoming Bellator MMA matches to watch, schedule your time, then sign up for the service you need, when you need it.

Watch Bellator on Paramount+

Showtime is the exclusive home of Bellator MMA and Paramount+ is now the exclusive home of Showtime, so you can stream Bellator MMA live on Paramount+.

Paramount+ Pricing and Packages

Paramount+ comes with two plan options: Essential and Premium. You'll need to pay $4.99 for the Essential plan, which also includes ads. The Premium plan is ad-free and costs $9.99. If you want to watch Bellator, you'll need to pay extra for the Paramount+ and SHOWTIME bundle, which costs $9.99 a month for the Essential plan or $12.99 a month for Premium.

Paramount+ Supported Devices

Paramount+ works on all the same devices you could use for CBS All Access. That included iOS and Android sport phones, Roku devices, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, several smart TV brands, and more.

Paramount+ Simultaneous Streams

ViacomCBS brings it to the whole family with a generous 5 device streaming limit.

Paramount+ DVR

Unfortunately, this service does not provide a DVR option as of yet.

Paramount+ On-Demand Library

Although there's no DVR, this service provides an absolutely massive amount of on-demand content. CBS All Access already offers tons of TV shows from CBS' ownership. Now that it's combined with the Paramount brand and carries the Paramount branding, the library has expanded tremendously with many top-tier TV shows and movies included for the price.

Watch Bellator on FuboTV

With over 100+ channels in its base package alone, it should come as no surprise that fuboTV offers some Bellator streams. Specifically, fuboTV now carries Paramount Network, making it a great option for Bellator and for sports, in general.

FuboTV On-Demand Library

As with some other services, fuboTV doesn't advertise the exact size of its on-demand library. However, there are a few factors that ensure a large amount of readily-available content.

First, most channels available through fuboTV offers content through the service, including newly-released and past episodes, seasons, and events. And since fuboTV has 100+ channels even with the Standard package, it delivers thousands of hours of on-demand video immediately.

Alongside this, fuboTV offers a 72-hour rewind feature, so new content is always available from its channels for 3 days. The 72-hour rewind does not add to your cloud DVR, as well.

An all-in-one streaming service

Watch Bellator on DAZN

DAZN is a sports-only streaming service available in the US, Canada, Japan, and several other European countries. While the service offers a range of sports outside of the US, it is primarily a fighting sports streaming service Stateside. For US fans of Bellator, that’s great news, as DAZN has finally unlocked a massive amount of fighting sports that were traditionally locked behind expensive paywalls.

DAZN Pricing and Packages

Instead, DAZN offers live and on-demand sporting events for a monthly subscription of $19.99 per month.

DAZN

Only $99.99 for the year

  • 50+ fights
  • Crossover boxing women's soccer pool & more
  • Pay per view available for purchase

However, you can save money if you purchase the yearlong subscription for $149, which is the monthly equivalent of $12.50 per month.

For more information on DAZN's subscription plans, check here.

DAZN Channels

You won't get access to separate TV networks through DAZN. Instead, the service carries live streams of various events from different leagues, including Bellator, AFC Champions League, Canadian Championship, and J.League matches (soccer). Additionally, from what we could tell when testing the service for our DAZN US review, there are also live and on-demand cycling events as well as a number of other sporting events, including cricket and darts.

DAZN Supported Devices

As far as device support goes, you can stream over the web on Windows and Mac computers, iOS and Android, and several TV-connected devices.

The full list includes:

  • TV streaming media players: Apple TV (4th gen and up), Amazon Fire TV (1st gen and up) and TV Stick (2nd gen and up), Chromecast and Roku (most models)

DAZN DVR

Most of the “skinny bundle” internet TV services offer a range of features. DAZN is a bit different, however, because it operates more like Netflix or Amazon Prime. As such, you won’t get a cloud DVR.

DAZN On-Demand Library

Almost all the content that streams live on DAZN is available on-demand soon after the events end. Most on-demand content stays for weeks, as well. You'll also find a good number of older content featuring classic fights.

Watch Bellator on DirecTV Stream

For those who want access to Bellator MMA and regional sports networks, DirecTV Stream is a viable option.
