Hulu is now the latest streaming service to lose Fox regional sports networks, joining both YouTube TV and Fubo TV.

First, it was YouTube. Now it’s Hulu. Starting on Friday, Fox regional sports programming will leave Hulu. If your live TV plans support Fox sports, you won’t see these games anymore. 

Fox Sports and Hulu

Gizmodo reports that live TV Hulu subscribers could still access sports content from different networks. However, they would lose dozens of Fox regional sports networks. The service says you can still get your sports fix from ESPN, TBS, TNT, FS1, FS2, Fox, CBS, NBC, and ABC on Hulu’s support page. You would just lose content from these Fox networks:

What’s Going on at Fox?

Last month, YouTube TV also lost support for Fox regional sports networks. Meanwhile, another sports streaming service, FuboTV, lost support for the same Fox networks earlier this year. However, the service did pick up ESPN programming. 

The Sinclair company owns Fox. Regarding YouTube, Barry Faber said that both Sinclair and YouTube had discussed plans to return Fox sports channels to YouTube TV. Faber is Sinclair’s president of distribution and network relations.

Where Do You Go for Sports?

This week, Faber also said that Hulu refused to accept Sinclair’s offer to continue streaming regional sports networks.

If you subscribe to YouTube TV for sports, you might have to look elsewhere for your sports fix. Starting next month, YouTube TV will lose access to Fox regional sports networks. Losing access means you couldn’t watch the MLB, NBA, and NHL seasons on YouTube TV anymore. 

YouTube TV and Sports

Gizmodo reports that YouTube’s deal with Sinclair Broadcast Group is already expiring. Without the deal, YouTube TV couldn’t broadcast sports games anymore. YouTube TV had announced the situation in a post on its Twitter support page.

Starting October 1, you couldn’t stream content from Fox regional sports channels on YouTube TV. Moreover, YouTube added that even DVR content from these networks would disappear. 

No More Sports on YouTube TV

In an email to Gizmodo, YouTube said that TV users wouldn’t be able to watch live games, on-demand sports, or recorded sports content. So, even sports analysis shows might disappear from YouTube TV.

Both YouTube and Sinclair might have reached an eleventh-hour deal to keep sports on YouTube TV. They were still talking on Wednesday. However, that window might have closed now.

So, if you want to keep streaming live sports, you might have to look at cheaper options. Just a few years ago, YouTube TV cost $35 a month. Now, it costs $65. 

What’s Next for YouTube TV

Gizmodo also notes that streaming services always lose content. For example, a slew of Netflix content leaves the service every month. However, for sports fans who follow regional channels, they have limited options. 

YouTube TV had allowed them to watch every sport they wanted with just one subscription. Meanwhile, other sports streaming services charge them extra for DVR and other perks. Other services also offer additional bonuses at a premium.
