Cox Communications has a near-monopoly on Las Vegas cable TV — and they know it. Bills run $130–$165/month for a package you could replace with PlayMaxTV for $20/month. Watch Golden Knights, Raiders, Aces, Formula 1 Las Vegas GP, boxing, and UFC live. Free 24-hour trial. No contract.
Las Vegas has a unique cable market problem: Cox Communications holds a near-monopoly on residential cable TV service throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Without meaningful competition, Cox has consistently raised prices year over year. In 2026, a typical Cox Contour TV + Internet bundle in Las Vegas runs $130–$165/month, and that's before you add sports packages, premium channels, or equipment rental fees.
The breakdown usually looks something like this: Cox TV package at $85–$105/month, equipment rental $10–$18/month, sports package add-on $10–$15/month, broadcast TV surcharge $20–$25/month. By the time you've paid all the line-item fees that Cox doesn't prominently advertise, you're looking at a $155/month bill for television alone.
Las Vegas also has a transient population — tourists, hospitality workers, and short-term residents — who need TV access without a 12 or 24-month cable commitment. PlayMaxTV is ideal for this demographic: month-to-month starting at $20, with a 24-hour free trial and instant setup.
Las Vegas has transformed into one of the most sports-rich cities in North America. What was once a market with no major professional franchises now hosts four pro sports teams, hosts the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, serves as a boxing and UFC capital of the world, and welcomed an NHL expansion that immediately won the Stanley Cup. PlayMaxTV covers all of it.
The Golden Knights are a phenomenon — one of the most compelling sports stories in recent North American sports history, winning the Stanley Cup in just their second season and building a passionate fanbase from scratch. All Golden Knights games on ESPN, ESPN+, TNT, ABC, and NBC Sports are available on PlayMaxTV. For our full NHL cord-cutting guide, see how to watch NHL without cable.
The Raiders moved from Oakland to Las Vegas and quickly became a cultural institution in the city. Every Raiders game is available on PlayMaxTV — CBS, NBC, FOX, ESPN/ABC, and NFL Network broadcasts are all covered. Sunday Ticket and RedZone access means you never miss a snap during a full Sunday slate. Check our guide on watching NFL without cable for complete details.
The Aces are back-to-back WNBA champions and have brought national attention to the league. WNBA games air on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, and CBS Sports Network — all available on PlayMaxTV. The Aces are appointment TV for Vegas sports fans and you won't miss a game.
Las Vegas FC joins MLS as one of the newest expansion clubs, and games air on Apple TV+ MLS Season Pass, ESPN, and FS1. PlayMaxTV covers the ESPN and FS1 broadcasts, and Apple TV+ streaming is accessible via a separate subscription if needed for all MLS content.
The Las Vegas GP is one of the most spectacular events on the F1 calendar — the Strip Circuit at night, with cars hitting 212 mph on the straight past the Bellagio. Every F1 race, including the Las Vegas GP, airs on ESPN and ESPN2 in the United States. Both channels are included in PlayMaxTV's lineup. You'll watch every qualifying session, practice, and race live in HD.
Las Vegas is the fight capital of the world — T-Mobile Arena, MGM Grand Garden, and Allegiant Stadium host the biggest cards in both boxing and MMA year-round. UFC events air on ESPN and ESPN+, which PlayMaxTV carries. Major boxing cards on ESPN, Showtime, and Fox are all covered. Pay-per-view events require separate PPV purchases regardless of your TV provider, but the undercard and preliminary bouts that air on linear TV are fully included.
