How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks live in 2024

What channels are Milwaukee Bucks games on this season?

Fans can watch nationally televised Bucks games on ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. Most games will air regionally on Bally Sports Wisconsin, the team’s regional sports partner. 

Here’s where you can find these channels across the major live TV streaming services.

How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on DISH (Featured partner)

Not all Bucks fans are ready to make the leap to live TV streaming. If you’re still more at home with a traditional cable service, DISH Network is our top pick. DISH packages carry anywhere from 190 to over 290 channels, and come with a 2-year price guarantee.

If you’re looking for Bucks action, you’ll find a lot of it on DISH. The team’s games are regularly featured on national TV, and DISH offers ABC, ESPN and TNT in its basic package. You can also add NBA TV with the Multi-Sport Pack or by upgrading to America’s Top 200. Plus, if you have to miss any games, you can upgrade to DISH’s excellent DVR equipment to be sure you can always watch later.

Unfortunately, DISH doesn’t offer Bally Sports Wisconsin, so you’ll need an additional subscription to Bally Sports Plus (in-market) or NBA League Pass (out-of-market) if you want to watch regional broadcasts.

How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on DIRECTV STREAM

There are four DIRECTV STREAM plans for Bucks fans to choose from. Entertainment has over 75 channels. Choice has over 105 channels. Ultimate has over 140 channels. And Premier has over 150 channels. 

DIRECTV STREAM has a lot of channels to offer, including everything you need to stream a Bucks game. ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV and Bally Sports Wisconsin are all included in Choice, Ultimate and Premier plans. Entertainment doesn’t include NBA TV or Bally Sports Wisconsin, so Bucks fans will want to pick one of the other plans to catch all the games.

You can also enjoy unlimited cloud DVR with DIRECTV STREAM, so you don’t have to worry about missing a game while you’re not home.

How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on Fubo

Bucks fans can pick from two Fubo packages. The Pro plan comes with 190 channels, while the Elite plan has 256 channels. Fubo has more channels than its competitors, especially when it comes to live sports. Note that all plans include a regional sports fee of up to $14.99 per month, in areas where an RSN is available. 

Fubo’s channel lineup includes ABC, ESPN and Bally Sports Wisconsin, but not TNT. NBA TV is also available, but it requires the Sports Plus add-on for $10.99 monthly. Fubo also allows customers to stream on 10 screens at the same time and enjoy 1,000 hours of cloud DVR. That means you have plenty of freedom to watch and record the games at home, no matter what anyone else is streaming in your house.

How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on Hulu + Live TV

Bucks fans can choose from several TV plans with Hulu. The streaming service comes with a 95+ channel lineup and includes access to ESPN Plus and Disney Plus at no additional charge. 

ABC, TNT and ESPN are all available on Hulu + Live TV to stream Bucks games. However, fans won’t have access to NBA TV or regional sports networks. In addition to all the other channels Hulu has to offer (plus unlimited cloud DVR), customers get access to Hulu’s on-demand library of movies, shows and more. 

How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on Sling TV

There are three Sling TV plans to choose from.  Sling Orange has 32+ channels, and Sling Blue has 40+ channels. Sling Orange & Blue includes all the channels from both plans. 

Sling Blue includes ABC (in some areas, which is where the price is higher), while Sling Orange includes ESPN, and both Sling Orange and Sling Blue include TNT. For NBA TV, customers will need to get the Sports Extra add-on for $11–$15 monthly. Bally Sports Wisconsin is not available on Sling TV. Customers have plenty of other channels to enjoy, though, like HGTV, Comedy Central and Vice.

Bucks fans also get 50 hours of cloud DVR, which you can upgrade to 200 hours for $5 per month.

How to watch the Milwaukee Bucks on YouTube TV

YouTube TV offers one plan for Bucks fans, and it boasts more than 110 channels, including ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. Unfortunately, most regional sports networks, including Bally Sports Wisconsin, are not available on YouTube TV. 

YouTube TV also has key plays view, stats view, scores view and fantasy football view, which gives viewers insights while they’re watching games, something no other streamers offer. Plus, you get unlimited cloud DVR, so no need to worry if you miss a game — you can record it and watch it later.

How to watch Milwaukee Bucks out-of-market games with NBA League Pass

Whether the Bucks games are blacked out because they’re airing exclusively or you’re out of the viewing area, you might not be able to view all of the games for one reason or another. That’s where NBA League Pass comes in. 

The NBA’s all-access streaming service lets you stream all out-of-market NBA games that aren’t on national TV. A base subscription plan is $14.99 monthly and the premium, ad-free plan is $22.99 per month. You can also purchase a Bucks-only plan for $89.99 a season.
