How to Cut the Cord and Keep All Your Sports Channels (2026 Guide)
Sports are the number one reason people hesitate to cancel cable. The fear is real: what if you miss the game? What if your team is blacked out? What if the only way to watch the playoffs is on a channel you do not have anymore?
This fear is outdated. In 2026, you can watch every sport you care about without cable, and pay significantly less doing it. Here is the complete playbook.
Step 1: List Every Sport You Actually Watch
Before you cancel anything, write down every sport you watch regularly:
- NFL (which teams, how many games per week?)
- NBA (regular season, playoffs, or just big games?)
- MLB (local team games, or nationally broadcast?)
- NHL (same question)
- Premier League, Champions League, or other soccer
- UFC and boxing
- College football or basketball
- Other (golf, tennis, NASCAR, etc.)
Step 2: One Subscription Covers Most of It
KrushTV at $20/month covers the major sports channels for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Premier League, Champions League, and UFC. For most sports fans, this single subscription replaces the sports portion of their cable bill entirely.
Step 3: Add an Antenna for Local NFL Games
A $25 digital antenna picks up ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox, the channels that broadcast the most NFL games. Combined with KrushTV for ESPN, NFL Network, and other sports channels, you get complete NFL coverage with zero blackouts.
Step 4: Pick One Add-On If You Need It
If you need something very specific, NFL Sunday Ticket, a regional sports network for your local team, or a specific league’s out-of-market package, add one targeted service. But only if you genuinely need it. Most sports fans find KrushTV plus an antenna covers 90% of their viewing.
What Your New Setup Costs vs Cable
| Setup | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|
| Cable with sports package | $120–$200+/month |
| KrushTV + antenna | $20/month (antenna is one-time ~$30) |
| KrushTV + one sport add-on | $30–$45/month |
Most cord-cutters save $80 to $150 per month while watching the same sports.
