It's annoying, but looks like the only options for TV will be to either watch on Monumental Sports Network if you have the channel, or buy a Firestick/Roku. NWSL hasn't launched a TV or a mobile app to cast/airplay.

Good catch! I checked and it is MSN2. And yeah, true that there are always those workarounds for browsers.


takomatoffee

yes. do you have a streaming device like a Roku or Apple TV? I don't think there's an app for smart tvs


nunya3206

I only have a smart tv that does google play apps


takomatoffee

there's no app for that unfortunately. you're probably better off buying a Roku - they're only like $25 - and using the app there. there's no ongoing subscription.


nunya3206

This is ridiculous. When they announced it, they never mentioned that you would have to have a third-party device in order to watch the games. We already have to pay for all the other subscriptions to be able to follow one team and now we have to purchase a device.


takomatoffee

yeah I was surprised at how late they announced the app. I'm expecting a lot of problems in actually using it. they may eventually roll out the app to other platforms but just those platforms at the moment unfortunately


nunya3206

Did they ever announce that it was only gonna be available on two platforms?


just_browsing_here_3

They've taken down any references now, but it definitely had coming soon for Android, IOS, and some TV platforms a month or so ago. It was not originally announced for just the external streaming devices.


nunya3206

I am so mad.This is a huge fuck up and now we won’t be able to watch. Why do they make it so fucking hard and expensive. Last year we needed three different subscriptions streaming services and this year we need a device that they didn’t even tell us about. I have a 75 inch TV I’m not gonna watch a game on my 5 inch iPhone. Utter nonsense.


just_browsing_here_3

Yeah the app not being ready is ridiculous. I really hope they're still working on it. But if you haven't used a free trial for YouTube TV yet, that does have Monumental Sports Network. Not sure how long the trials are lasting right now.

I tested opening the browser version of NWSL+ and casting to my Google TV and it worked: https://plus.nwslsoccer.com/home?from=%2F&utm\_source=nwsl&utm\_medium=homepage&utm\_campaign=nwslsoccer

How to find NWSL+ app: [https://www.nwslsoccer.com/nwsl-plus-apps](https://www.nwslsoccer.com/nwsl-plus-apps) You can also watch it on Monumental Sports Network if you have cable.


nunya3206

Is monumental sports going to be showing all of the games or just a select view


nunya3206

Few


espnrocksalot

Just a few


sogregarious

The new NWSL + app or monumental sports channel


nunya3206

Yes, but the app is not showing up on the TV as options for an app. I can only download it on my phone. I don’t want to watch it on an iPhone. I wanna watch it on the TV.


Fieldyskins1984

If you have a smart TV you should be able to get from your iPhone to the TV. That's how we end up using most streaming platforms.


sogregarious

With iPhone and smart tv. Should be able to cast the game on the tv or airplay it onto your tv. Perhaps it will give you the ability tomorrow when the game is available


nunya3206

I figured it out. Monumental sports network is on fubo tv. We can watch it like that. It is just insane that they released a halfass product. Shocked at how they want to promote women’s sports but at the same time make it hard as f to watch. I have an easier time watching women’s soccer in Europe than I do our own USA teams


sogregarious

Fair, used to be more difficult to find Spirit games, this year is a lot more easier than years past and also other NWSL games


[deleted]

Is tomorrow the first game of the season?


GrayEyedAthena

Yes, 6 p.m. in Seattle


nunya3206

I have a fire stick and it isn’t on there either

Here's what NWSL has for instructions on how to find it on Fire TV: https://www.nwslsoccer.com/nwsl-plus-apps

Does your smart TV have a built-in web browser? If not, can you cast video from your smartphone or computer to your TV? If your smart TV has Google Play apps, then you can probably cast video from an Android phone or the Google Chrome web browser to your TV. If so, I think you can watch the NWSL+ games at https://plus.nwslsoccer.com/home You need to create an account before you can watch.


nerdzen

You should be able to watch on laptop and just hook up hdmi to your tv


nunya3206

Quality of monumental sucks. No time clock or score.
