DirecTV has just announced MySports ... which looks a lot like the recently deceased Venu sports streaming service.

In a press release, DirecTV officially launched MySports, a sports-only package that allows customers to watch a lot of sports and not much else. It's offering this new sports-focused package through DirecTV Stream, the satellite TV provider's cord-cutting cable alternative.

What channels are included in MySports

If your eyes are watering from that $69 a month price tag, you're not alone. That price puts it on par with most live TV streaming services and is more expensive than Sling Orange + Blue or the $43 a month that Venu Sports was going to cost.

That said, this sports streaming package does give you more than Venu was offering. While Venu was going to be limited to Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery, MySports includes some channels from NBC Universal — but not CBS. Here's everything that you'll get with MySports:

  • ACC Network
  • ACC Digital Network
  • Big Ten Network
  • Big 12
  • DIRECTV 4K Live
  • DIRECTV 4K Live 2
  • ESPN
  • ESPN2
  • ESPNews
  • ESPNU
  • Fight Network
  • Fuel TV
  • FS1
  • FS2
  • Golf Channel
  • MLB Network
  • NBA TV
  • NFL Network
  • NHL Network
  • Origin Sports
  • Pickleball TV
  • Players TV
  • SEC Network
  • Sports Grid
  • Stadium Stream
  • Surfer TV
  • Swerve Combat
  • T2
  • TBS
  • The Jim Rome Show
  • TNA
  • TNT
  • Torque by History
  • TruTV
  • USA Network
  • Waypoint TV
  • Women’s Sports Network
  • Local ABC, FOX and NBC channels in select markets

DirecTV is already promising more to come in the future. The press release states, "Additional networks, local stations and ESPN Plus, will be included in MySports at no extra cost in the near future."

I'm still not sure this all adds up to $69 a month worth of sports, but when you account for 4K streaming, channels that are sometimes premium add-ons on cable or cable alternatives and ESPN Plus, it admittedly gets close.

Right now, MySports is available in 24 TV markets. Here's where you can currently sign up for MySports:
