After the whole Venu Sports debacle, which ended up with the sports streaming service being canceled before being born, DIRECTV announced its own sports-centric package, MySports. Initially, the newly introduced MySports package will only be available in 24 major metro regions, but more will come online soon, DIRECTV claims.
At launch, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and the San Francisco Bay Area (Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose) will receive their local ABC, Fox, and NBC stations, with consumers in other major metro areas like Houston, Dallas, Washington DC, Atlanta, Austin, Detroit, Gainesville, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Orlando, Phoenix, Seattle, Tampa, Miami, Boston, New Haven, San Diego to sign up for the service this week and receive additional local stations as affiliates opt-in.
MySports includes 40 sports and broadcast channels, which can be streamed through the DIRECTV app on mobile devices or popular platforms such as Roku, Amazon Fire, and Apple TV. The sports-centric package will also offer the option to catch every play through game-time notifications and the ability to watch now on live TV or later through unlimited cloud DVR.
It's important to mention that nearly two dozen national sports channels are immediately available through MySports, so here is the full list:
ACC Network
Big Ten Network
DIRECTV 4K Live
DIRECTV 4K Live 2

Additionally, DIRECTV announced that local channels will initially include any stations owned and operated by ABC, Fox, and NBC, with additional stations coming online soon. More networks, local stations and ESPN+, will be included in MySports at no extra cost in the near future.
Customers who sign up online for the contract-free package before February 28, can receive MySports for just $49.99 monthly for the first three months, a $20 monthly savings.
