Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
For San Jose Sharks fans residing in Cincinnati, Ohio, catching every game live is straightforward, as you are considered out-of-market. This is great news because it means you won't encounter any local blackout restrictions that often plague in-market viewers. To watch the majority of Sharks games, your best bet is an ESPN+ subscription. ESPN+ carries hundreds of out-of-market NHL games throughout the season, including most Sharks matchups not airing nationally. For national broadcasts on TNT and Max, you'll need a subscription to a live TV streaming service that includes these channels, or a standalone Max subscription for games airing on TNT.
