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+.
