YouTube TV
Carries FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network. Also includes NFL Sunday Ticket as an add-on subscription — the only way to watch out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. The most popular live-TV streaming service overall, with strong DVR and multi-stream features.
Hulu + Live TV
Carries the major networks (FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN). Doesn't include NFL Network in the base plan but does in higher tiers. Bundle includes Hulu's on-demand library plus Disney+ and ESPN+.
Sling TV
Cheapest option but the most limited. Sling Blue carries NBC, FOX, NFL Network in some markets. Sling Orange carries ESPN. Neither carries CBS, which is a significant gap for New York Rangers fans during CBS broadcast weeks.
DirecTV Stream
Premium pricing but the most cable-like experience. Carries all major NFL networks. The successor to AT&T TV; aimed at viewers willing to pay more for full channel parity with traditional cable.

Free Ways to Watch the New York Rangers
Most New York Rangers games — including all Sunday afternoon broadcasts on FOX and CBS, Sunday Night Football on NBC, and Monday Night Football simulcasts on ABC — are free over-the-air with an HD antenna in the New York market. A basic indoor antenna ($20-$40) pulls all four major networks in clear digital quality. Outdoor or attic-mounted antennas extend range and reliability for viewers further from broadcast towers.
Streaming-service free trials are the other zero-cost option. Fubo offers a free trial for new subscribers — enough to watch several weeks of games before deciding to subscribe. YouTube TV typically runs trial promotions during the NFL season. Always verify current free-trial terms on each service's site, as offers change.
The two game types that cannot be watched free are Thursday Night Football (Amazon Prime Video exclusive) and Netflix-exclusive games (Netflix subscription required). There is no legal free streaming option for these — they require their respective paid subscriptions.
