The Beanpot is an annual college hockey tournament featuring Boston-area teams like BU, BC, Harvard, and Northeastern, with men's semifinals typically in early February at TD Garden. For 2026 games around February 3, local viewers can catch them on NESN, while streaming options include Fubo for local markets and ESPN+ nationally.

Viewing Options

NESN provides primary TV coverage in the New England area, often with Dunkin' sponsorship. Streamers outside Boston rely on ESPN+ for national access, and Fubo works for NESN feeds if you're in range.

  • Men's Semifinals (e.g., Feb 5 historically) : NESN (local TV), Fubo/ESPN+ streams.
  • Women's Beanpot : Similar setup, NESN locally and ESPN+ broadly; semis at Harvard, finals at TD Garden.
  • Canada viewers : TSN+ has carried games in past years.

Quick Streaming Tips

Check NESN 360 app if you have a TV provider—it's direct for locals. Free trials on Fubo or ESPN+ let you test without commitment, as fans on Reddit often do for one-off events. Verify blackouts for Bruins territory on ESPN+.

Recent Context

As of early 2026, men's games air on NESN with streams on Fubo/ESPN+; women's followed suit in January. TD Garden hosts key matchups, building on last year's double Beanpot prestige.

TL;DR : NESN for Boston locals, ESPN+/Fubo elsewhere—perfect for catching BU-BC rivalries live.
