Out-of-market Sports Package

In North America, an out-of-market sports package is a form of subscription television that broadcasts sporting events to areas who are unavailable to see them because the games are not broadcast in their local market.

Many leagues with major television contracts establish elaborate rules regarding which games are broadcast in different regions (with local teams usually getting preference). For viewers who prefer to see a game other than the one being locally broadcast in their market, the out-of market package provides more options.
