Although DIRECTV STREAM offers four plans, you’ll need the second-highest tier option, the Choice package, or above to watch Altitude Sports. DIRECTV STREAM’s Choice, Ultimate, and Premier plans are solid options if keeping up with Colorado sports teams (or American sports in general) is important to you. If you sign up for one of these three plans, you can watch your Regional Sports Networks (RSNs), like Altitude Sports and AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (which airs Colorado Rockies games).
Along with RSNs, the Choice package includes popular sports networks like ESPN and Fox Sports 1 (FS1). You’ll also get local channels where you can watch the NFL, including the Denver Broncos, and other major sports events, like the Super Bowl. Big Ten Network, ESPNU, Golf Channel, MLB Network, and NBA TV are some of the other sports-related channels available through DIRECTV STREAM.
How to watch Altitude Sports with Fubo
| Plan | Cost per Month | Channels | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $79.99 | 190+ | Yes |
| Elite | $89.99 | 260+ | Yes |
| Premier | $99.99 | 270+ | Yes |
Fubo offers a slightly more affordable way to stream Altitude Sports and Altitude 2, by making the channels available with every plan tier for customers in the Altitude market. Each of the provider’s plans has dozens of sports channels, including ESPN and NFL Network, and you can get even more with Fubo’s sports add-ons.
Whether you’re a fan of domestic or international sports, Fubo’s plans have plenty to offer. For starters, you’ll get access to your local networks, as well as popular U.S. sports channels, like CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, NFL Network, and Pac-12 Network. But you’ll also get international sports networks, like beIN Sports and Real Madrid TV. Customize your plan by adding a premium add-on like MLB.TV ato watch out-of-market MLB games, NBA League Pass, or the Sports Plus add-on with NFL RedZone.
One downside to Fubo is that if you live in an area with RSNs, you’ll have to pay an additional Regional Sports fee, depending on the number of RSNs available in your area.
