In the US, the Knicks vs. Hawks game will air on ESPN. The network is hosting a Playoffs doubleheader tonight, with the Nuggets vs. Timberwolves game immediately following.

Where to watch Knicks vs. Hawks in the US

You have several options for live streaming ESPN in the US. You can watch the network via a live TV streaming service, such as YouTube TV, DirecTV, Fubo, and Sling TV. You can also use the network's direct streaming counterpart, ESPN Unlimited. All of these services are month-to-month, meaning that you can cancel at any time without being stuck in a long-term contract.

When it comes to live TV services, YouTube TV is currently offering a can't-miss limited-time deal, where you can get $75 off your first five months of service (that's $15 a month), with the ability to cancel at any time. That brings the standard $83 a month plan down to just $68 a month for five months. The deal is for new users, who will also get a five-day free trial. YouTube TV's main plan includes over 100 popular channels, and ESPN is also available in the cheaper YouTube TV sports plans.

DirecTV is another fantastic service and one of the best live TV streaming services we've personally tested. ESPN is available in all Signature plans, along with the budget-friendly DirecTV MySports genre pack. MySports carries around 20 popular sports networks and unlocks access to ESPN Unlimited. Subscriptions cost $65 a month, but new customers can get $20 a month off their first two months of service after a five-day free trial.

Sling TV and Fubo are two other popular live TV streaming services that carry ESPN in their line-ups. The cheapest monthly Fubo plan with ESPN is Fubo's Sports + News subscription, which costs $56 a month ($10 off the first month after a one-day free trial). The cheapest monthly Sling TV plan with ESPN is the $20 a month Essentials plan. You can also get ESPN in Sling Orange, which costs $46 a month or $5 for a single-day pass. This single-day pass is the cheapest way to live stream the game in the US without a free trial, but Sling Essentials is the most affordable way to watch ESPN Playoff games on a monthly basis.

Finally, you can live stream ESPN directly via the network's streaming counterpart, ESPN Unlimited. The service carries live streams from all of ESPN's linear networks, along with ESPN Plus/Select exclusive content and ESPN on ABC programming. Subscriptions go for $30 a month, but you can find some month-over-month savings by signing up for one of the Disney Plus bundles or the ESPN Unlimited and NFL Plus Premium bundle.
