Founded in 2021 by tech entrepreneur, and avid sports fan, John O’Connor, Streaming Stadium is a website devoted to helping sports fans watch their favorite teams live without cable.

Streaming Stadium was designed to help sports fans begin streaming any event in 15 minutes or less. The sole focus of this website is to offer sports fans the best, most cost effective, and fastest options for streaming the sporting event of their choice.

We painstakingly catalogue television contracts, team schedules, and channel options into a database of the best sports streaming options for every team and market. Using this in-house repository of data, we write streaming guides that give sports fans every available live stream option.

We do only one thing at Streaming Stadium, streaming sports, and we do it better than any other site on the internet.

Our Promise

Accurate, reliable, sports streaming options for any lifestyle, situation, or location. We are sports fans ourselves, and understand how important it is to be able to watch the Big Game.

We promise to always feature accurate streaming options for watching your team, no matter where you are.

Why Was Streaming Stadium created?

Streaming Stadium is a personal passion project for our founder, John O’Connor. After a family vacation where no one could figure out how to watch a Michigan basketball NCAA Tournament game, John set out to create the go-to online guide for all things sports streaming.

Editorial Guidelines & Reader Trust

Our in-house editorial staff is committed to maintaining the integrity, and accuracy, of every page on this site. This site is written by actual sports fans who watch all of the games we write about.

Expertise

Our editors and writers are experts in how to stream sports, from a data, legal, and personal perspective.

Our founder, John O’Connor, is a passionate sports fan and an attorney. At the heart of the sports streaming industry are a diverse landscape of TV contracts. When cord cutters are confused about their sports viewing options, which they often are, it’s because of a large collection of TV contracts that split games between different media companies, often without much rhyme or reason. With his legal background, John is able to start at the foundation of the sports streaming industry, by first cataloguing all relevant contracts, and then building content with our writing team that lays out the competing TV interests in a way that is easy for the layperson to understand.

Sourcing and Citations

The Streaming Stadium team subscribes to all the live TV streaming services we cover to ensure that we write reviews based on extensive first-hand experience, and that we are the first to know when anything changes on any of the major platforms.

Fact Checking

Our site is under constant review by our Editorial team to make sure that the sports streaming information we publish is accurate and up-to-date.

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Streaming Stadium, we value transparency. Our readers will always know who wrote the content that appears on our site through bylines, biographies, and links to relevant social media profiles. Our site is monetized through affiliate partnerships and display ad revenue. Although no one loves ads, our site chooses to monetize with display advertising to ensure our affiliate relationships do not impact on the recommendations we make to our readers. For example, our editorial team regularly recommends YouTube TV despite the service’s lack of an affiliate program.

When writing viewing guides, we value three factors the most in making our recommendations:

1. Comprehensive coverage: Can the streaming service offer a comprehensive solution for this fan such that additional apps won’t be needed?
2. Ease of setup: Fans often come to our site right before a Big Game looking for the fastest way to start watching their team. Excellent setup flow is a priority for us in making recommendations so that our readers can get started streaming their team from any device with ease.
3. Other relevant teams: Can a streaming service serve the needs of this fan beyond this team? For example, a sports fan looking to watch the Chicago Bears on Monday Night football has several options, but the choices narrow when factoring in streaming services that offer ESPN, NBC Sports Chicago, and the Marquee Sports Network. We assume sports fans want to watch more than just one team in a major market.

Updates

Our content is regularly updated for accuracy. Updated articles are published with the date of the last update so readers know they are getting the latest information about the best ways to watch the games they are interested in. Many readers come to our site looking for information about free trials. We keep an updated list of each live TV streaming service offering a free trial or discount to new subscribers.

Our News Section

The News section of the Streaming Stadium website is devoted to covering the latest developments in the world of streaming sports. As a general rule, we add two types of stories to the News section:

1. How to stream upcoming big games
2. Announcements that are relevant to cord cutting sports fans

Diversity & Inclusion

Streaming Stadium is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion.

Our Founder & Lead Sports Fan

John O’Connor

John is a passionate sports fan, writer, and longtime tech entrepreneur. Growing up in Detroit, one of America’s best sports towns, much of John’s social life was centered around watching sports from a young age. Whether it was staying up late as a kid to watch the Bad Boys Pistons teams, rooting for the Lions on Thanksgiving day, or going to Ford Field with his Dad to watch the Michigan High School Football Playoffs, following local football, baseball, basketball, and hockey has always been a way of life in the O’Connor family.

John founded Streaming Stadium as a reliable resource for friends and family to find the best options for live streaming any major sporting event. The site has quickly grown into a resource used by thousands of people every month. Building Streaming Stadium is a personal passion project that allows John to marry his experience in tech with his lifelong love of sports.
