How to Watch the Colorado Avalanche Without Cable

Established in 1972 as the Quebec Nordiques before relocating to Denver, Colorado, in 1995, the Colorado Avalanche have consistently displayed their prowess on the ice and garnered a devoted fan base known as the “Avs Nation.” The team calls the Ball Arena in Denver its home, where the excitement of every game is palpable. Over the years, the Avalanche have constructed a legacy founded on skill, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to victory. With their distinctive burgundy, blue, and silver colors, and a history that includes multiple championships and iconic players, the Colorado Avalanche have left an enduring mark on the NHL landscape.

This article will explore how to stream Avalanche games live and the channels and streaming services that enable hockey fans to get a Avalanche live stream.

What channels show the Colorado Avalanche games?

The vast majority of Avalanche live streams air on a regional sports network, Altitude. Unfortunately, this makes it slightly difficult to find as streaming services tend to have varying regional coverage. DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo are the only streaming services that include Altitude for local viewers. ESPN+ airs out-of-market games and Hulu streams some games nationally. ESPN, ABC, NHL Network, and TNT will also air NHL games nationally.

How to Watch the Colorado Avalanche on Fubo

Fubo originally started out dedicated to sports but has become an all-encompassing live-streaming service. The Pro plan starts at $74.99 per month and comes with a 7-day free trial for new customers to try it out. Fubo includes 1000 hours of Cloud DVR and allows users to stream content on unlimited screens at the same time, including 10 at home.

Plus, with the Fubo Extra add-on, you can watch live games on NHL Network for an additional $7.99 per month. That’s over 150 channels. However, Turner Networks are not carried by the service, so fans won’t be able to watch live games on TNT or TBS.

Fubo does charge a Regional Sports Fee for those who live in the market of a Regional Sports Network. If you live in the market of one RSN then the fee is an additional $10.99/month and if you live near two or more RSNs the fee is $13.99 per month.

How to Watch the Colorado Avalanche on Sling TV

Sling TV‘s live streaming service is split into two base plans — Sling TV Blue and Sling TV Orange, which both cost $40 per month. Sling TV comes with 50 hours of Cloud DVR recording space. Sling TV Blue offers 3 simultaneous streams, but Sling TV Orange only includes 1. Combining the two plans in Sling TV Blue + Orange costs $55/mo. and provides 4 simultaneous streams.

Sling TV Blue is typically the most affordable option for sports fans as it includes TBS, and TNT; however, ESPN is available with its Sling Orange and Sling Orange + Blue plans. However, it currently doesn’t include Altitude, which carries Colorado Avalanche live streams. Sling TV subscribers can watch NHL Network by adding the Sports Extra add-on to their subscription for an extra $10 per month.

Overall, for $65 per month, you can watch ABC (in select markets), ESPN, TNT, TBS, and NHL Network with the Sling Orange & Blue plan with the Sports Extra add-on, which gives you maximum coverage of nationally televised hockey games.
