Our Editorial Standards & Fact-Checking Policy

WhereSports is an independent television schedule and broadcast rights directory, not a streaming site. We never host video streams, embed third-party players, or link to unlicensed pirate websites. Every channel, app, and link in our directory points strictly to an official, licensed broadcaster (such as ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, Sky Sports, TNT Sports, BBC, ITV, DAZN, Peacock, Paramount+, Prime Video, or Apple TV).

Because choosing a live TV streaming service involves real money, our channel and streaming guides are written to protect your wallet from common subscription traps:

• Free Over-the-Air Options First:

  If a channel is available for free over the air with a standard indoor digital antenna (like ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC in the US, or BBC One and ITV1 on Freeview in the UK), we tell you upfront before recommending an $80-a-month streaming bundle.

• Calling Out Next-Day Replay Apps vs. Live TV:

  Many viewers buy a cheap on-demand plan (like basic $9.99/month Hulu) expecting to get a live 24/7 local TV channel, only to find out at kickoff that it only offers next-day show replays. Our reviews explicitly warn you which plans include live TV and which ones do not.

• Real Out-of-Pocket Costs (Add-Ons & Regional Fees):

  When a channel requires a paid Sports Extra add-on, a mandatory Regional Sports Network (RSN) fee at checkout, or an active £180 annual UK TV Licence, we spell out the true total cost rather than repeating a provider's headline promo price.

• City & Zip-Code Restrictions:

  When a service only carries local broadcast stations in select metro areas (for example, Sling Blue carrying ABC, NBC, and FOX only in specific owned-and-operated cities), we list those exact cities so you know whether it works where you live.

Outdated sports guides cost fans money. If an article still tells you to buy an app that lost the rights last season, you end up paying for a subscription you cannot use.

Our editorial team continuously audits and updates our league, sport, and channel guides whenever major broadcast contracts change hands, including the 2025-2026 shifts that moved the NBA to NBC, Peacock, and Prime Video (alongside ESPN/ABC), UFC events in the US to Paramount+ and CBS, US Formula 1 coverage to Apple TV, Sunday Night Baseball to NBC and Peacock, and UK FA Cup coverage to TNT Sports and the BBC.

We believe you should know exactly how WhereSports operates and makes money:

• Rights First, Never Pay-for-Placement:

  A streaming service cannot pay to be listed as a broadcaster for a game or channel it does not carry, and our Bundle Calculator sorts matching providers strictly by the lowest true monthly cost. When we link to an official streaming service, we may earn a referral commission at no extra cost to you, which helps keep this schedule directory free to use.

• We Never Touch Your Billing Details:

  WhereSports never sells subscriptions, collects credit card numbers, or processes payments. If you choose to sign up for a streaming service or TV package, you always do so directly on the official provider's website.

• Honest When a Broadcast Is Unconfirmed:

  If a league or promoter has not sold broadcast rights in your country, or if a network has not yet announced which channel will carry a fixture, we mark it as unconfirmed rather than guessing.
