To watch Houston Astros games, the main local broadcast for in-market games is the Space City Home Network, which can be streamed on services like fubo.tv and DIRECTV STREAM. These platforms carry Space City Home Network along with other national sports channels like ESPN, FOX, FS1, and TBS, which air nationally televised Astros games. You can also watch out-of-market Astros games on MLB.tv, although local blackout restrictions apply. Popular streaming services to catch Astros games include:
- DIRECTV STREAM (includes Space City Home Network and national sports channels)
- fubo.tv (with Space City Home Network and national channels)
- Hulu + Live TV (national channels like FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS)
- YouTube TV (national channels)
- Sling TV (some national games on ESPN)
If you have a smart TV or streaming device (Firestick, Roku), these streaming services are the way to go to watch live Astros games without cable. Additionally, occasionally games are broadcast over-the-air on FOX and can be received with an antenna locally. In summary, to watch Astros games live:
- Use DIRECTV STREAM or fubo.tv for the best access including local Space City Home Network.
- Use MLB.tv for out-of-market games (with blackout restrictions).
- Alternatively, use Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or Sling TV for nationally televised Astros games.
This provides multiple flexible options, whether you want all local games or just the nationally televised ones, and whether you want to stream on TV or mobile devices.
