Will this be the season that the Penguins make a deep playoff run and compete for a Stanley Cup Championship? Sports fans in the Steel City will want to tune in to find out. You can live stream Pittsburgh Penguins hockey on a host of different devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, iPhone, Android, and more.

If you live in Pittsburgh, central and eastern Pennsylvania, West Virginia, parts of Ohio, and southwest NY, you can watch most Penguins games on AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh on both DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” and fuboTV. As between the two platforms, DIRECTV “Choice” is the better option because it carries TNT, an important channel for watching marquee NHL matchups, as well as the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Both fuboTV and DIRECTV STREAM carry KDKA-TV CBS 2 Pittsburgh for watching the Steelers.

Live streaming the Penguins: best regional options

If you live inside the AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh viewing territory, both fuboTV and DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” will air most Penguins games in-market.

DIRECTV STREAM – best choice

Although DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” and fuboTV both carry AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, the regional sports network that broadcasts Penguins games to local fans, DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” is the winner here because the platform carries TNT, an important channel for watching the NHL that is absent from fuboTV’s channel lineup.

fuboTV

You can live stream most Penguins games in-market with fuboTV.

fuboTV carries AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, ABC, and ESPN in the base package, but is lacking TNT, which means major holes in coverage as the NHL season progresses.

If you don’t live in Pittsburgh

ESPN+ – best out-of-market NHL option

If you live outside of the AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh viewing territory, you can watch the Penguins out-of-market with an ESPN+ subscription.

Note that exclusive national NHL games on ABC, ESPN, and TNT won’t air on ESPN+.

Watching the Penguins FAQ

Can I watch the Penguins on Hulu?

Hulu + Live TV doesn’t carry AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, so you can’t watch in-market regular season Penguins games on Hulu. However, when the Penguins are featured in a nationally televised game on ABC, ESPN, TNT, or TBS, you can live stream the game on Hulu + Live TV. With Hulu’s ESPN+ bundle, Penguins fans can also watch most games from the Hulu app out-of-market. Out-of-market Penguins fans are those who live outside of the AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh viewing territory.

Can I watch the Penguins game on my phone?

Yes, you can watch Penguins hockey from your phone. Both DIRECTV STREAM and fuboTV offer mobile apps to subscribers that are compatible with iOS and Android devices. For out-of-market Penguins fans, ESPN+ content is available from the ESPN app, which also supports most iOS and Android devices.
