As more live sports moves toward streaming services, streaming marketplace MyBundle is aiming to make it easier for fans of one particular sport to stay on top of which channels and services will carry their favorite teams this year.
This week, MyBundle launched a new NFL football schedule tool that allows users to select their favorite team, then generate a list of which channels and services will be carrying games from that team each week.
For instance, fans of the San Francisco 49ers who select that team as their favorite will see options to watch their Week 1 game against the New York Jets on ESPN and ABC if they subscribe to traditional cable or satellite, and they’ll be pointed to a streaming service like ESPN Plus, Hulu with Live TV or Sling TV if they want to watch the game there. (One option that is missing is DirecTV Stream, which would be listed as an option for ESPN and ABC if it were not for DirecTV’s ongoing dispute with Disney, the owner of both channels.) On Week 2, San Francisco 49ers fans are shown CBS as the broadcast destination for that game against the Minnesota Vikings, with Paramount Plus listed among the options to watch the game via streaming.
Unlike other sports guides, the MyBundle tool for NFL fans is service-agnostic — while the platform may earn a small commission when a streamer signs up for a subscription using links found on their platform, MyBundle doesn’t automatically prioritize those services over others that it may not have such agreements with. In other words, the tool really is about connecting fans with the best options to watch games from their NFL teams on broadcast or streaming, whether MyBundle earns a commission or not.
To that end, MyBundle also lists services like YouTube TV and Fubo, which carry NFL games aired on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC. YouTube TV also offers access to the NFL Sunday Ticket, which unlocks games airing on CBS and Fox stations beyond a user’s home area. And the tool lists broadcast and cable networks where games are played each week for football fans who might prefer to watch the games on traditional cable or satellite TV, or who can pull games in with a conventional over-the-air antenna.
MyBundle says the tool is already live on a dedicated section of their website, and is also being integrated into the white label version of the MyBundle streaming marketplace for hundreds of broadband partners.
