How to Watch the Carolina Hurricanes Live Without Cable in 2022-23

Written by John O'Connor

Last updated on

The Carolina Hurricanes are an NHL team that plays in the Eastern Conference. After winning the Metropolitan Division last season, hockey fans in Raleigh are hoping the Hurricanes can have a breakthrough season in 2022-23 and make it to the Stanley Cup Finals. If you can’t make it to PNC Arena to watch the Hurricanes in person, you can live stream Hurricanes games on a host of different devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, iPhone, and more.

The majority of Hurricanes games are broadcast to local fans on Bally Sports South, a channel that is carried by two live TV streaming services, DIRECTV STREAM and Bally Sports Plus. If you live in the southeast, and are content watching most regular season games, as well as the first round of the playoffs, Bally Sports Plus is the best, and most cost effective option, for watching the Hurricanes. However, for Hurricanes fans who want to tune in to every game, including nationally televised games, and the entirety of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, DIRECTV STREAM “Choice,” with its extensive channel lineup, is the best choice, and our top pick. DIRECTV STREAM also carries local FOX affiliates for watching the Panthers on Sundays. Out-of-market Hurricanes fans can watch the team on ESPN+.

How to watch tonight’s Hurricanes game

What channel is the Hurricanes game on tonight? We list the Carolina Hurricanes TV schedule, as well as the live TV streaming services that carry each game, in the easy to use table below.

The most important channels for Hurricanes fans

Most Hurricanes games are regional broadcasts to fans in North Carolina, and across the southeast, on Bally Sports South. Formerly called FOX Sports South, Bally Sports South usually carries about 74 Hurricanes games for local fans. When the Hurricanes are on national TV, the games air on ABC, ESPN, TNT, and TBS.

ESPN+ airs most out-of-market Hurricanes games, but also features 75 exclusive streaming only games on its platform. When the Hurricanes are featured in an exclusive ESPN+ game, or an exclusive national broadcast, Bally Sports South will be blacked out.

How to watch the Hurricanes on DIRECTV STREAM

If you are an in-market fan, you can watch the Hurricanes entire season on DIRECTV STREAM “Choice.”

DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” gets Hurricanes fans full NHL coverage, with both regional and national games, as well as ACC Network, NFL, MLB, and NBA games.

In Raleigh, Carolina Panthers fans can watch the team most Sundays on WRAZ-TV FOX 50 Raleigh, and in Charlotte on WJZY FOX 46 Charlotte with DIRECTV STREAM.

How to watch the Hurricanes on Bally Sports Plus

Bally Sports Plus offers in-market Hurricanes coverage for 74 regular season games, as well as some first round playoff action. Games that air on ABC, ESPN, ESPN+, TNT, and TBS can’t be viewed on Bally Sports Plus, the platform is a one channel subscription.

If you want to watch the Hurricanes entire season, as well as the NHL playoffs, DIRECTV STREAM is a better option than Bally Sports Plus.

When can I watch the Hurricanes on ESPN+?

ESPN Plus is now home to the NHL’s out-of-market TV inventory. This means you can watch the Hurricanes on ESPN+ if you live outside of the Bally Sports South TV region.

ESPN+ doesn’t carry every Hurricanes game. Exclusive ABC, ESPN, and TNT games, as well as out-of-market games that air on NHL Network, are not available on ESPN+.
