Sports-centric streaming service fuboTV is the only way to stream Fight Network without cable. Anthem Sports & Entertainment– the company that owns the channel– has been choosy about making deals with cable alternatives. Fans of combat sports may want to check out ESPN+, Hulu with Live TV,  Sling TV, AT&T TV NOW and YouTube TV, though. They all have plenty to offer fans of the genre. In this article, we’ll help you decide which streaming option is best for you. Let’s get started!
Before we start, we want to highlight a particularly relevant stream for news, sports, and entertainment. Sling TV is one of the best options for streaming in 2022 with a rich catalogue of 50+ live channels and 50k+ on-demand movies and episodes.

Watch Fight Network with fuboTV
fuboTV is the only streaming service that carries Fight Network. The streamer made a deal to carry the channel last year. Another big deal that fuboTV made in 2020 was with Disney. Now that it finally has all of Disney’s ESPN networks and Fight Network, it’s even more competitive.Â
fuboTV Pricing and Packages
There used to be several different plans to select from, but now there are only two: fubo Family and fubo Elite. The Family plan is cheaper but it has less channels and features. A Spanish-only plan called fubo Latino plan is also available.
| Pro 7-day free trial $69.99/ month | 100+ channels 10 simultaneous streams 1,000 hours of DVR space | TRY FREE |
| Elite 7-day free trial $79.99/ month | 159 channels 40+ more channels with fubo Extra 10 simultaneous streams 1,000 hours of DVR space | TRY FREE |

fuboTV Channels
Now that fuboTV has not only Fight Network but also all the ESPN channels, it’s a lot more attractive to fans of combat sports. Fight Network doesn’t come with the base plan, though. You have to get the Sports Extra pack, which costs a few extra dollars each month in addition to whatever plan you choose.Â

fuboTV Simultaneous Streams
fuboTV was lagging behind in this category until it expanded its account sharing features in 2020. You can now stream to up to five devices at once through a single account. That, in combination with the added Disney channels, makes fuboTV a lot more family friendly.

fuboTV DVR
The sports-centric streamer got an upgrade here as well last year. The previous DVR limit was 500 hours, but now it’s double that. An upgrade lets you get as many as 1000 hours of recording time.
You can learn more about the fuboTV DVRÂ here.
fuboTV On-Demand Library
The library looks somewhat meager compared to Netflix, HBO Max and Hulu but some movie titles are available. Most of the content consists of recently aired TV shows.

Hulu with Live TV DVR
The number of hours that you get with the free version of the DVR (50) makes Hulu with Live TV seem competitive here, but the fact that you can’t fast forward without the DVR upgrade is a major downside. You get 200 hours if you purchase it, though.

Watch Combat Sports on AT&T TV NOW
AT&T TV NOW has been stepping its game up over the past several months. Initially it didn’t offer any kind of DVR, but now all subscribers get 500 hours.

AT&T TV NOW Pricing and Packages
AT&T TV NOW’s Plus plan is decently priced, but it lacks HBO Max. Despite that, it’s still not a bad deal relative to basic plans from other services. ESPN 2 and ESPN are both a part of its lineup. Many other niche sports plans are available through the more expensive plans.

Watch Combat Sports on YouTube TV
No-limits DVR recording is one of YouTubeTV‘s primary market advantages. A recent price hike makes this streamer slightly less attractive. ESPN is on the menu though, and that makes it a solid option for fans of combat sports.
