The best packages to watch FanDuel Sports Network Detroit in 2025

There are several streaming packages you can subscribe to to watch FanDuel Sports Network Detroit, with three main options varying in size and subscription cost.

  • Fubo TV live sports Getty Images

    Fubo

    Fubo is a hugely popular streaming package for fans these days. It provides access to Bally Sports Detroit and a whole heap of other sports channels.

    ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC, and CBS also offer the Pro Plan, the most basic package available. With this package, you can watch all the games of your favorite Detroit side, even if they're not live on Bally.

    The Pro Plan, which provides over 100 different channels, is $74.99 per month on a rolling contract. It can be upgraded further to the Elite Plan, which costs $84.99, or the Ultimate Plan, which costs $99.99 per month.

    All packages include a host of entertainment, movies, and more outside of sports, while other regional sports networks are also included.

  • DirecTV Stream Promo PanelDirecTV Stream

    DirecTV

    DirecTV is another much larger TV subscription package, and to get Bally Sports Detroit, you'll need the CHOICE package. That's priced at $89.99 and includes a variety of regional sports networks, as well as the likes of the ESPN network, FanDuel TV, Fox Sports 1, and more. In total, you'll receive over 125 channels with the CHOICE package.

    However, to enjoy the same levels of sports as Fubo, you will need to upgrade to the Ultimate package, which costs $119.99 per month. With that, you get over 160 channels, including CBS Sports Network and plenty of others.

    The Bottom Line

    There are several solid options for sports fans wanting access to Bally Sports Detroit, and what you should go with depends on your budget and needs. For fans only wanting to watch Detroit sports, subscribing to Bally Sports+makes the most sense.

    However, if you want to add Bally Sports Detroit to a larger TV package, then the options with Fubo and DirecTV should be considered. Fubo perhaps provides better value with its Pro Plan, giving you access to so much sport, and almost every Detroit fixture is live across all four major sports.
