Alternative ways to watch Bally Sports now that Comcast Xfinity has dropped their programming.

What Happened?

At midnight, Comcast Xfinity removed Bally Sports from its list of available channels. The reason behind this sudden change lies in the financial struggles of Bally Sports’ parent company, Diamond Sports Group, which is currently undergoing bankruptcy proceedings.

Comcast claims that it offered multiple options to continue carrying Bally Sports’ networks, but the negotiations fell through. As a result, they no longer have the rights to continue broadcasting Bally Sports content. Thankfully, fans have several options to continue watching. Let’s break it down.
