However, you shouldn't fire up on-demand platforms like Disney+ and Netflix, which generally lack live sports (though that's slowly changing).

Video streaming is a huge and complex category, especially when it comes to confusing and expensive live sports broadcasts. Fortunately, PCMag knows video streaming inside and out.
