How to Watch NESN on Amazon Fire TV
You can watch NESN on Amazon Fire TV with one of these streaming services: fuboTV or AT&T TV. Just download the app from the Amazon App Store, and start watching right away.
How to Watch NESN on Roku
You can watch NESN on Roku with one of these streaming services: fuboTV or AT&T TV. Just download the fuboTV or YouTube TV channel from the Roku Channel Store, and you’ll be ready to watch NESN without cable on your Roku device.
How to Watch NESN on Apple TV
You can watch NESN on Apple TV with one of these streaming services: fuboTV or AT&T TV. Simply download the app for the internet TV service you’re using, install it, and you’ll be good to go.
NESNgo
One of the best things about using an internet TV service to get NESN is that, like using a traditional cable provider, you can use your login information to access first-party streams from NESN, using the NESNgo website and app.
The NESNgo website and app allow you to watch live and on-demand content from NESN, directly from your computer or mobile device. Interestingly, only fuboTV currently supports NESN logins. You use your fuboTV login to access NESNgo, but AT&T TV doesn’t support it at the moment, which is a bit disappointing.
Why would you want to use NESNgo, rather than your fuboTV subscription? Well, the main reason is that streaming content using NESNgo doesn’t count towards your simultaneous stream limit. If your family is watching YouTube TV content on 3 devices at once, you can still log into NESNgo, and watch the Boston Bruins or the Red Sox live, without exceeding your 3-device limit.
NESNgo is a bit primitive and the mobile app has pretty bad reviews, and does not support Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast or Apple TV – but it does its job, and the fact you can access it with fuboTV means that services are even more attractive if you want to watch NESN without cable.
