If you live in the Detroit area
In order to live stream Red Wings, Tigers, and Pistons games on DIRECTV STREAM it is necessary to upgrade to the more expensive “Choice” package.
The DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” package comes with Big Ten Network, FS1, WJBK FOX 2 Detroit, and both ESPN and ESPN2, for watching UM football and basketball, MSU football and basketball, NFL action, and more.
Fubo carries Bally Sports Detroit, plus FOX and Big Ten Network for watching Michigan and Michigan State football.
Bally Sports Plus carries Bally Sports Detroit, however, that is the only channel you will get if you sign up for Bally Sports Plus in Michigan. Bally Sports Plus doesn’t carry ABC, ESPN, or TNT, which leaves major holes in its NHL coverage.
Outside Michigan & Toledo
Outside of Michigan, out-of-market Wings fans can follow the season on ESPN+.
FAQ
The old FOX Sports Detroit has been rebranded Bally Sports Detroit, and is the channel that airs most Red Wings games. Same channel, different name. Both DIRECTV STREAM and Bally Sports Plus live stream Bally Sports Detroit.
You cannot watch the Red Wings on Hulu + Live TV if you live in Michigan because the platform doesn’t carry Bally Sports Detroit. If you live outside of Michigan, you can watch Wings games on Hulu with the ESPN Plus bundle, but it is also possible to save money, skip Hulu altogether, and just sign up for ESPN+.
