If you want to watch the game then you can still cut the cord as most sporting events and live games can be found online.

There are many websites that offer sports streaming of a dubious nature and are not so legal, resulting in streams and availability that are very hit and miss.

But as more viewers head to the web for content, so many more official websites and apps are appearing that carry authorized football, basketball, baseball, tennis, rugby, golf and any other sporting event you can think of. Streaming websites run by the leagues themselves are very reliable and give access to high quality HD feeds.
