Can I watch the World Swimming Championships without cable?

Yes — most World Swimming Championships games are available on streaming. National windows are on the major streaming services, and local games are typically on the relevant regional sports network or RSN direct-to-consumer app.

Why is my local team blacked out on the league streaming app?

Leagues use the home team's TV territory to enforce blackouts on out-of-market subscriptions. Spot Sports maps US zip codes to Nielsen DMAs and the local broadcasters that serve them, so the watch-cost calculator can show you exactly which channel carries your local team.

How often does Spot Sports update its data?

Live scores update every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Schedules refresh hourly. Watch-cost pricing is reviewed monthly, with a "last reviewed" date on every guide. Full cadence and source list lives at /methodology.
