How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is considered a top choice for sports fans as it includes ABC, TNT, and ESPN. Hulu’s streaming service comes with a 95+ channel lineup, and includes access to ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, and unlimited cloud DVR storage at no additional charge. 

ABC, TNT and ESPN are all available on Hulu + Live TV to stream Bucks games, but unfortunately fans won’t have access to NBA TV or regional sports networks. In addition to all the other channels Hulu has to offer (plus unlimited cloud DVR), customers get access to Hulu’s on-demand library of movies, shows and more. 


Watch the Milwaukee Bucks on Sling TV

There are three Sling TV plans to choose from.  Sling Orange has 35+ channels including ESPN and TNT, while Sling Blue offers 43+ channels (but lacks ESPN), and the combined package of Sling Orange & Blue includes all the channels from both plans. 

For NBA TV, customers will need to get the Sports Extra add-on after purchasing a Sling TV subscription. Additionally, FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin is not available on Sling TV, but customers have plenty of other channels to enjoy like HGTV, Comedy Central and Vice.

Bucks fans also get 50 hours of cloud DVR, which you can upgrade to 200 hours.


How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on Fubo

When it comes to live sports, Fubo boasts an impressive collection of channels.  The Pro plan comes with 216 channels, while the Elite plan has 292 channels. Please note that some plans include a regional sports fee, in areas where an RSN is available. 

While Fubo’s channel lineup does include ABC and ESPN, it lacks TNT and requires an additional add-on for NBA TV. Fubo also allows customers to stream on 10 screens at the same time and enjoy unlimited Cloud DVR. That means you have plenty of freedom to watch and record the games at home, no matter what anyone else is streaming in your house.


How to stream the Milwaukee Bucks on YouTube TV

YouTube TV  has a great plan for Bucks fans that includes 110 channels, ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. Unfortunately, most regional sports networks, including FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin, are not available on YouTube TV

Plus, you get unlimited cloud DVR, so no need to worry if you miss a game — you can record it and watch it later.


How to watch Milwaukee Bucks out-of-market games with NBA League Pass

NBA League pass is the best option for die-hard basketball fans.  The NBA’s all-access streaming service lets you stream all out-of-market NBA games that aren’t on national TV so you can catch action from all around the NBA. It’s important to note that NBA League Pass doesn’t offer in-market games, so this plan is catered towards fans who live in a different state from their team.
