Keep hearing about how wonderful Hamilton is and a little frustrated you’ve never had a chance to see it? Don’t worry! Right now, you can still watch it courtesy of Disney+ with the smash hit Broadway musical still streaming on the popular service. Sign up for Disney+ today and you can see what all the fuss is about within seconds. Even better, there are thousands of other great reasons why Disney+ is, arguably, the best streaming service out there right now.

If the Hamilton hype train has somehow passed you by, let us enlighten you. It’s a musical that tells the story of American founding father, Alexander Hamilton. That might not sound instantly gripping but it’s an amazing tale. Besides having a surprising number of twists and turns, it’s all told through the medium of hip hop, R&B, and rap, with more than a hint of traditional-style show tunes too. It’s a true tour de force and it’ll make you laugh, cry, and generally feel far more excited about history than anyone ever has before.

UFC live stream: Watch UFC fights online from anywhere

Conor McGregor v Donald Cerrone

In the past, stringent regional broadcasting regulations made it difficult for MMA fans to watch UFC fights online and other live events without a cable subscription. However, much has changed in recent years, and the immense popularity of streaming apps has prodded sports broadcasters to make live programming more accessible. ESPN, the official broadcaster of the UFC in the United States, introduced ESPN+ five years ago in response to this shift towards streaming. Since then, ESPN+ has emerged as the top outlet for watching UFC fights and pay-per-view events online in the U.S. With ESPN+, you can conveniently stream all the action on your PC, mobile device, smart TV, or gaming console. To help you get started, we've compiled a comprehensive guide covering everything you need to know about how to watch UFC live streams, including UFC 295 tomorrow.

True Detective season 4 may be over, but there is good news for fans of the show. HBO has officially ordered another season of the anthology series.

Will the new sports streaming service from Disney, Fox, and WBD mean you can finally cut the cord for good?

Is this the ultimate sports streamer?

The Washington Commanders take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Aside from the NFL's Super Bowl, the big story of the month is a new sports streaming service coming from three of the major studios: Walt Disney Company, Fox Corp, and Warner Bros. Discovery. The new streamer will combine content from Disney's ESPN and ABC, Fox Sports, and WBD's TNT and TBS for a one-stop service that features NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, and NCAA March Madness, FIFA World Cup, three Grand Slam tennis events, UFC, Formula 1, and NASCAR.

On the surface, it sounds like the ideal cable killer that sports fans and cord-cutters have been waiting for years to see. And it will likely hasten the departure of a significant amount of subscribers who have only stuck with cable for the sports channels. However, there are several questions that remain, which even the three partner studios haven't fully addressed yet. And we're going to dive into some of those issues now.
