Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
For Tampa Bay Lightning fans residing in Memphis, Tennessee, you're in an excellent position to catch all the action without the hassle of local blackout restrictions. As Memphis is a major metropolitan area far removed from the Lightning's home market, you are considered out-of-market for their games. This means you have the most flexibility and access to watch every single Tampa Bay Lightning game live. The primary streaming service for out-of-market NHL games is ESPN+, which carries the vast majority of non-nationally televised matchups. For nationally broadcast games, you'll find them on TNT or through the Max streaming service (with the Bleacher Report add-on). Unlike in-market fans, you won't encounter blackouts on ESPN+ for Lightning games. NHL.TV is also an option, though its content is largely mirrored by ESPN+ for out-of-market viewing. GridCast is here to help you navigate these options, providing real-time broadcast information for every game.
