Every Unrivaled game is on TNT Sports. Some nights are on both TNT and truTV, some only on truTV, and all of them stream on HBO Max. Here’s exactly where each game is and the cheapest ways to get it.
In the US, Unrivaled airs on TNT and truTV and streams on HBO Max (Standard or Premium plan). All 56 listed games in 2027 are on truTV, and 32 of them are also on TNT. Weeknight doubleheaders usually tip at 7:30 and 9 p.m. ET; weekend games in Miami tip at 8 and 9:30 p.m. ET and are truTV only.
What Channel Is Unrivaled On? TNT vs. truTV
TNT Sports has held Unrivaled’s media rights since the league launched. In 2027, the split follows a simple pattern: marquee weeknights and road stops are simulcast on TNT and truTV, while most weekend nights are truTV only.
| Channel | Game nights | Games |
|---|---|---|
| TNT + truTV | All Friday and Monday nights, plus Tuesdays Jan 19 and Jan 26, every tour stop except Minneapolis, the 1-on-1 tournament | 32 |
| truTV only | Saturday and Sunday nights in Miami, Wed Jan 20, Tue Feb 23, the Minneapolis matinee and the Mar 5 afternoon doubleheader | 24 |
truTV isn’t in every basic cable or streaming bundle. Since it carries every game and is the only channel for 24 of them, confirm it’s in your lineup before the January 8 opener.
How to Stream Unrivaled Without Cable
| Option | Gets you | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| HBO Max | Every game, live | Requires the Standard or Premium plan, per the league |
| Sling TV (Blue) | TNT and truTV | Check that your plan includes truTV |
| Hulu + Live TV | TNT and truTV | Full live TV service; watch on the channel |
| DIRECTV (formerly DirecTV Stream) | TNT and truTV | Check that your package includes truTV |
If you only want Unrivaled, HBO Max is the most direct route: one app, every game, no cable box. A live TV service makes more sense if you also want other sports on regional and broadcast channels.
Plan names and channel lineups change; confirm on the provider’s site before you sign up.
