Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of AT&T Sportsnet RSNs has announced it can no longer operate the channels profitably. This leaves AT&T Sportsnet Southwest in a state of flux as it searches for a new operator. In the short-term, we predict the channel will continue to operate.
AT&T SportsNet Southwest (“ATT SW”) is a regional sports network that primarily covers the Houston Astros and Houston Rockets for fans in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and some surrounding regions. ATT SW also broadcasts Houston Dynamo soccer games.
At present, only two live TV streaming services offer AT&T SportsNet Southwest, fuboTV and DIRECTV STREAM through its expensive “Choice” package. fuboTV is our top pick for watching AT&T SportNet Southwest because it offers ATT SW in the base package, which saves Houston sports fans about $250 annually versus DIRECTV STREAM.
Most cost effective option for streaming ATT SW. | $74.99 / month | 7 Day Free Trial |
$99.99 / month | 5 Day Free Trial |
