The same goes for the Dodgers and Rams in baseball and football, respectively. This means that if you’re a soccer fan living in Los Angeles, you might not be allowed to view LA Galaxy games on the ESPN+ website or app, but instead may be required to view it on a local television outlet. They do so by implementing blackout restrictions on local viewers. Nearly all major sports leagues – be they professional like the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL or MLS, or colleges, like the NCAA, SEC, AAC, and numerous other conferences – limit access to their content. However, sports services are even more restrictive than movie and TV streaming services, limiting their content access to viewers in certain states or cities. Sports streaming services, like ESPN+, MLB.tv, and other sports streaming services also restrict their content.
As you’ve likely read on this website, the content available on most streaming services are restricted to a certain country or region.
