Bally Sports South collapsed, taking Nashville Predators local broadcasts with it. Tennessee Titans games were always on free TV — but the Predators situation left fans scrambling. PlayMaxTV restores every NHL, NFL, MLS, and SEC broadcast over your internet for a fraction of what Comcast charges.
Bally Sports South and Bally Sports Southeast — the regional sports networks that broadcast Nashville Predators games locally for over 20 years — were both shut down following the Diamond Sports Group bankruptcy. Tennessee cable subscribers who relied on these channels for Predators coverage suddenly found themselves with no local sports option while still paying $90–$120/month for cable.
The good news: the NHL's national broadcast deals with ESPN and TNT have expanded dramatically. PlayMaxTV carries every national broadcaster covering Predators games today — and at under $20/month, it's a fraction of what cable charges. See also our full guide on how to watch NHL without cable for more detail on what's available by market.
Post-Bally Sports South, Predators national games on ESPN, ESPN2, and TNT are now the primary viewing option for cord-cutters. NHL Network carries additional Predators coverage throughout the regular season and playoff runs. PlayMaxTV covers all three broadcasters — full Predators coverage from October through the Stanley Cup Playoffs. For a complete breakdown of NHL cord-cutting options, see our NHL without cable guide.
The Titans play at Nissan Stadium and compete in the AFC South. Their games air on CBS (primary AFC partner), Fox, NBC Sunday Night Football, and ESPN/ABC Monday Night Football. PlayMaxTV includes all four broadcasters plus NFL Network and RedZone — so you get every Titans snap from preseason through the playoffs. For more on NFL cord-cutting, see our guide to watching NFL without cable.
Nashville SC plays at GEODIS Park — one of the largest soccer-specific stadiums in the US. MLS games air primarily on Apple TV's exclusive Season Pass, but select matches appear on Fox and ESPN. PlayMaxTV includes those open-window Fox and ESPN broadcasts. Pairing PlayMaxTV with Apple TV+ ($9.99/month) gives you complete Nashville SC coverage.
College sports in Nashville center on Vanderbilt University in the SEC. Football, basketball, and baseball all get strong regional coverage via SEC Network — which is included in PlayMaxTV along with ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, and ABC. You get complete Commodores coverage plus every other SEC matchup.
