If a game is playing on ESPN, the app will link to WatchESPN, but it won't say that you can use Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, DirecTV Now, Hulu with Live TV, or YouTube TV to watch ESPN directly. ESPN+ has the rights to certain rugby, boxing, and cricket matches, and Twitter is the exclusive source for live 360-degree video coverage during certain PGA Tour events. Although the launch of ESPN+ has stolen the spotlight over the past couple weeks, Bleacher Report Live arguably provides a better service to cord-cutters. Unfortunately, Bleacher Report Live does not list individual streaming bundles as sources in most cases. Stream NBA League Pass, All Elite Wrestling, National Lacrosse League and much more on Bleacher Report Live, where we make it easy to watch your favorite live sports. Bleacher Report Live lets you search for upcoming games across multiple sports leagues. I've experienced a handful of random crashes, and for some reason soccer doesn't appear in the list of sports filtering options. It's up to you to deduce which TV packages offer ESPN and allow authentication with the WatchESPN app. Once you've found something you want to watch, just tap the "Ways to Catch" button and the app will list the streaming services and TV channels where it's available. And that's on top of the usual mix of cable channels jockeying for major football, basketball, baseball, and hockey coverage.

If you have Google's Chromecast dongle, and the app supports it, you can then start watching the game on your television. The app doesn't list everything--I didn't see any boxing, rugby, or cricket, for instance--but it covers all the major U.S. sports, lots of international soccer leagues, NASCAR racing, and even some offbeat sports like handball and arm wrestling. When you first launch the app, it asks you to create a login. My guess is that users in larger cities will fare better. From there, you can look through a list of upcoming games, filter the list so that only certain sports appear, and search for specific teams or leagues. Bleacher Report Live is still in beta, so you can expect a few rough edges beyond the ones I've already mentioned. Bleacher Report Live isn't exactly new. Sports journalists and bloggers covering NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MMA, college football and basketball, NASCAR, fantasy sports and more.

(Our streaming TV bundle guide can help you sort through all that.). Bleacher Report Live also supports Chromecast directly for the small number of live sporting events that it offers through its own app.
