Methodology

How coverage estimates and bundle rankings are calculated.
Our compare tool estimates coverage by league rights fit, then ranks bundles by monthly cost, total estimated coverage, and service count.

How bundle scoring works

Each supported service receives an approximate league coverage score from 0 to 1. A bundle's score for a league is the highest coverage score contributed by any service inside that bundle. We then calculate combined coverage across the selected leagues.

Cheapest realistic plan

Lowest monthly cost among relevant bundle options.

Best coverage

Highest combined estimated coverage across the selected leagues.

Simplest setup

Fewest services while still preserving meaningful coverage.

What the scores are not

They are not guarantees of every game, every market, every regional sports network, or every promotional tier.

What can change

  • Monthly prices and promotional offers
  • League rights by season
  • Local market blackouts
  • Channel lineups and add-on packages
  • Country-specific availability
