Watch Blues games and catch all the action with a wide variety of streaming services. Whether you’re a die-hard Blues fan or someone looking to catch the occasional NHL game, streaming has become the go-to method to access live sports. From services like ESPN and Bally Sports Midwest to Hulu and YouTube TV, here’s everything you need to know to stream St. Louis Blues games live.

No cable? No problem! It’s actually better that way.

The Blues games are televised across multiple platforms, with Bally Sports Midwest being the primary regional provider. However, for cord-cutters and those who prefer streaming, a few key options allow you to watch the Blues without traditional cable.

Bally Sports Midwest (Regional Sports Network)

As the official regional broadcaster of St. Louis Blues games, Bally Sports Midwest is your top choice for streaming Blues live if you’re within the broadcast area. If you have a subscription through a cable provider, you can use their streaming service to watch games on your iPhone, iPad, or Android devices or via Roku.

The Bally Sports app also provides users access to stream games if they have a cable or satellite login.

ESPN+ and Hulu

As part of the NHL’s national broadcasting deal, many NHL games, including St. Louis Blues games, are broadcast on ESPN+. This is perfect for fans who want to catch out-of-market games or live outside St. Louis. Through its partnership with ESPN, Hulu also offers Blues live stream options, bundling live sports with its streaming service. Notably, Hulu + Live TV is another robust choice for catching Blues games and other live sports, including NFL, MLB, and NBA.

TNT and ABC

TNT is a major broadcaster of NHL games, often airing Blues games as part of national doubleheaders. Similarly, ABC carries select Stanley Cup Playoff games, including potentially those featuring the Blues. Both networks are available via several streaming services to stream games across various devices.

FuboTV

For the cord-cutting Blues fans, FuboTV is a fantastic option. It carries Bally Sports Midwest and many other channels that broadcast NHL games, such as ESPN, TNT, and ABC. With FuboTV, you can access various live sports from NFL, NBA, MLB, and even niche sports channels. The service also offers cloud DVR, which is ideal if you want to record games and watch them later.

YouTube TV

Another strong option for streaming Blues games is YouTube TV. This service includes TNT, ESPN, and ABC, making it easy to catch both regular season and playoff games. With unlimited DVR and easy access on various devices like iPhone, iPad, Android, and Roku, YouTube TV is a solid choice for Blues games and broader live sports access.

DirecTV Stream

If you prefer to stick with a more traditional provider that still supports streaming, DirecTV Stream offers Bally Sports Midwest alongside other major channels such as TNT and ESPN. You can watch the Blues across multiple devices, from mobile to TV, making it an easy and convenient way to stream NHL games.

Additional Streaming Platforms

NHL Network

For fans looking to catch even more NHL games, including live updates, replays, and extra content beyond just the Blues games, the NHL Network is available on streaming services like Sling TV, FuboTV, and DirecTV Stream.

Amazon and Apple

For those deeply integrated into Amazon or Apple ecosystems, options like Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV allow you to access apps like ESPN or Bally Sports Midwest. With Amazon’s Fire Stick or Apple devices, you can effortlessly stream games via apps supported on those platforms.

Sling TV

Another budget-friendly option, Sling TV, offers channels like ESPN, TNT, and ABC through its “Blue” or “Orange” packages. Blues fans can also choose add-ons to access more sports content, including NHL games across the league.

Disney Bundle

The Disney Bundle, which includes Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, offers an excellent combination for sports fans who want access to Blues games and general NHL action. This bundle is perfect if you’re looking for a comprehensive solution with a wide range of entertainment and sports content.

Key Matchups and Rivals

When streaming St. Louis Blues games, you won’t want to miss key matchups, including the intense games against division rivals like the Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, and Edmonton Oilers. Additionally, the excitement is palpable when the Blues face the Seattle Kraken, especially during playoff runs.

Watching the Blues on the Road

If you’re traveling or live outside the St. Louis region, you can still catch the Blues live by subscribing to ESPN+, which broadcasts out-of-market games. Fans following the Blues during road trips to places like Dallas or while they play against teams like the Kraken or Chicago Blackhawks can stay connected through these streaming services.

Watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs

Streaming options become even more critical if the Blues reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs (think 2019 and Gloria). With games spread across ESPN, TNT, ABC, and the NHL Network, having access to these services is essential to watch all the action live. Major streaming providers like FuboTV, YouTube TV, and Hulu will broadcast all the playoff games.
