About Fan-Wiser
Fan-Wiser shows you the cheapest way to watch every game your team plays, and which streaming services you can skip.
Why we built it
Following one team used to mean having cable. Today a single season can be split across broadcast TV, regional sports networks, and half a dozen streaming services, each holding the rights to a different slice of the schedule. Which games you can watch for free depends on where you live, and the services that carry the rest change from season to season.
Most fans either overpay for services they don't need or miss games they assumed were covered. Fan-Wiser is an independent site that sorts this out: it maps each game on your team's schedule to the channel or service that carries it, checks what's already free in your area and what you already pay for, and shows the smallest set of services that covers the rest.
What you'll find here
- The streaming plan builds a game-by-game plan for your team based on your city and the services and perks you already have.
- Team schedule pages list every game for all NFL, NBA and NHL teams, with the network for each game and what it costs to watch the full season.
- Guides explain blackout and out-of-market rules, whether NFL Sunday Ticket is worth it, and which phone, credit card and membership perks include sports streaming.
The streaming plan and the team pages are free to use. An optional paid subscription adds extra features to the app.
Where our information comes from
Fan-Wiser's advice affects real money, so we take accuracy seriously:
- Schedules and networks come from publicly available league schedule data and are refreshed twice a day, so flexed kickoff times and newly announced broadcasters show up quickly. Each team page shows when it was last updated.
- Prices for streaming services and sports packages are checked against each provider's own pricing pages.
- Local and regional coverage is based on each league's broadcast territories, which decide whether a game is free on local TV where you live.
- Reader corrections are welcome. If you spot a wrong channel, game time or price, please let us know and we'll verify and fix it.
Fan-Wiser is not affiliated with the NFL, NBA, NHL, any team, or any broadcaster or streaming service. Team names are used only to identify the schedules we describe.
How Fan-Wiser makes money
Fan-Wiser is supported in three ways:
- Advertising. Team schedule pages and blog posts may show clearly labeled ads served by Google. The streaming plan doesn't show ads.
- Affiliate links. Some links to streaming services may be affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links never change what we recommend: your plan is based only on your team, your location and what you already have.
- An optional subscription for extra app features, shared with our sister site Stream-Wiser.

Also from us
Stream-Wiser applies the same idea to TV shows and movies: it builds a month-by-month plan for which streaming subscriptions to keep, pause or cancel.
