📺 IPTV No more NBA on Fanduel Sports Network

FanDuel Sports Network officially shut down operations at the conclusion of the 2025–26 NBA regular season on April 12, 2026.

It didn't shutdown yet, it's still live on DIRECTV and other providers carrying some live European sports, minor league baseball and new episodes of some sports shows. It's in the process of winding down operations though.

The non FanDuel RSNs like NBC Sports, YES, SNY, Spectrum, CHSN, Monumental, Marquee, Space City, Altitude, NESN, MASN, SportsNet Pittsburgh and MSG aren't going anywhere and still have the rights to all of their teams and widespread cable and sat carriage, along with D2C streaming products.
