Monumental+ Review: Verdict, Cost & Sports Coverage
WhereSports Editorial Desk • Audited October 2026
The Verdict
Our Verdict: Monumental+ is the official standalone streaming app for Monumental Sports Network (formerly NBC Sports Washington), streaming local in-market Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, and Washington Mystics games in 1080p 60fps and select 4K Ultra HD across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region. Since YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV dropped Monumental Sports Network in late 2025, Monumental+ ($19.99/mo or $179.99/yr) is now the easiest way for DMV cord-cutters to watch local NHL and NBA games without switching to a $100+/mo cable or satellite package. Just remember that it only works inside the Washington broadcast territory and is capped at 2 simultaneous streams.
Best For
- Fans following live games across NHL, NBA, WNBA, AHL.
- Viewers watching live coverage in our Hockey, Basketball TV schedule hubs.
- Washington Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics fans in the DMV who use YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, or an antenna
- Existing Xfinity, DIRECTV, Fubo, Verizon Fios, and Cox customers who can log into the Monumental+ app for $0/mo
- Home theater fans who want select Capitals and Wizards home games at Capital One Arena in 4K Ultra HD
- Viewers who enjoy alternate camera angles, real-time player stats overlays, and full-game on-demand replays
Pricing Reality
Monumental+ costs $19.99/mo on a month-to-month basis or $179.99/yr ($15.00/mo effective) on an annual pass, and is $0/mo if you log in with a qualifying pay-TV provider.
- Seasonal Cancel Trick Saves $40: If you only watch the Capitals and Wizards (October to mid-April) and do not watch the WNBA Mystics in the summer, paying $19.99/mo for 7 months ($139.93 total) and cancelling in April is $40 cheaper than buying the $179.99 annual pass.
- Free TV Provider Login: Do not pay $19.99/mo if you already have Xfinity, Verizon Fios, Cox, DIRECTV Stream, or Fubo (with a sports tier carrying Monumental Sports Network); use your TV login to unlock Monumental+ for $0.
- Dropped by YouTube TV & Hulu: YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV no longer carry Monumental Sports Network, so subscribers on those platforms need the standalone $19.99/mo Monumental+ pass.
- No Free Trial: Monumental+ does not offer a free trial on monthly or annual standalone sign-ups.
Devices & Account Features
- Supported Devices: Available on Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku.
- Simultaneous Streams: Up to 2 concurrent streams per account (depending on tier).
- Cloud DVR & Replays: VOD Replays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch Monumental Sports Network on YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV in 2026?
No. Both YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV dropped Monumental Sports Network when their carriage agreements expired in October 2025. If you use YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, or an antenna in the DMV area, subscribing to the standalone Monumental+ app ($19.99/mo or $179.99/yr) is the cheapest way to watch local Washington Capitals and Wizards games without switching TV providers.
Should I buy the $19.99/mo Monthly Pass or the $179.99/yr Annual Pass?
Do the math based on whether you watch the WNBA's Washington Mystics in the summer. If you only watch the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards, their regular seasons run for roughly 6.5 months from October through mid-April; paying $19.99/mo for 7 months ($139.93 total) and cancelling in April saves you $40 compared to the $179.99 annual pass. If you also watch the Mystics from May to September, the $179.99 annual pass saves you $60/yr.
Which TV providers let me log into Monumental+ for free?
If you live in the DMV broadcast region and subscribe to a TV tier that includes Monumental Sports Network on Xfinity, Verizon Fios, Cox, DIRECTV, DIRECTV Stream, or Fubo, you can click Sign In with TV Provider inside the Monumental+ app and watch at no extra cost.
Can I use Monumental+ to watch the Capitals or Wizards if I live outside the DC/Maryland/Virginia area?
No. Monumental+ is strictly geo-fenced to the Washington regional broadcast territory (DC, Maryland, Virginia, and select counties in Delaware, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania). If you live outside that footprint, out-of-market Capitals games stream much cheaper on ESPN+ ($11.99/mo) and out-of-market Wizards games stream on NBA League Pass.
How do I cancel my Monumental+ subscription?
Log in to your account on a web browser at monumentalsportsnetwork.com, click your Profile icon, open Account Settings and Billing, and select Cancel Subscription before your monthly or annual renewal date. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Prime Video, or DAZN, you must cancel auto-renewal inside that specific platform's subscription settings.
