For the past year and a half, New Orleans Pelicans fans have been unable to watch the team’s locally broadcast games on YouTube TV and Hulu Live, two major streaming services. That is because YouTube TV and Hulu Live stopped carrying Sinclair-owned regional sports networks, including Bally Sports New Orleans, in October 2020. With the Pelicans’ local TV broadcast partnership with Sinclair concluding at the end of this season, the team has said making its games more accessible to streamers is a “gigantic priority.”
