Indianapolis punches well above its weight as a sports city. The Colts draw massive crowds to Lucas Oil Stadium, the Pacers are Eastern Conference contenders, and the Indiana Fever — with Caitlin Clark driving WNBA viewership to record highs — have made Indy a must-watch sports market. PlayMaxTV covers everything for $20/month.
Indianapolis is primarily served by Comcast Xfinity and AT&T U-verse. Both providers charge $85–$130/month for sports-tier packages that include the channels needed to watch Colts, Pacers, and Fever games. Bally Sports Indiana — the RSN that previously carried Pacers games locally — collapsed along with the Diamond Sports Group network, so cord-cutting is now the cleaner option for Pacers fans.
The Indy sports calendar is also anchored by some of the biggest events in American motorsports. The Indianapolis 500 (NBC) and Brickyard 400 NASCAR race (NBC/Fox) air on broadcast channels included in PlayMaxTV — no RSN needed.
The Colts play in the AFC South alongside the Titans, Texans, and Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium — one of the premier indoor venues in football. Their games air on CBS (primary AFC partner), Fox, NBC Sunday Night Football, and ESPN/ABC Monday Night Football. PlayMaxTV covers all four plus NFL Network and RedZone. See our full NFL cord-cutting guide for more detail on what's available by game.
The Pacers have emerged as Eastern Conference title contenders with one of the most exciting young rosters in the NBA. Post-Bally Sports Indiana, their nationally televised games on ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV are now the primary viewing option — all included in PlayMaxTV. The Pacers' national TV schedule has increased significantly as the team's profile has risen. See our NBA without cable guide for the full picture.
The Indiana Fever — led by Caitlin Clark — have transformed WNBA viewership. Fever games regularly draw cable-TV-level ratings on CBS Sports Network and ION, both included in PlayMaxTV. ABC and ESPN also carry select Fever games during the WNBA season and playoffs. This is one of the most-watched teams in women's sports history.
Indianapolis hosts the Big Ten men's basketball tournament annually. Indiana Hoosiers and Purdue Boilermakers both have massive fanbases in the Indianapolis metro. Big Ten Network, Fox, FS1, CBS, and NBC all carry their games — and all are included in PlayMaxTV. Purdue's recent Final Four and national championship runs have made them one of the most-televised programs in the country.
