Local Nashville Predators games are on The Spot - Nashville 28 in Middle Tennessee — free over the air with an antenna, and carried by the cable and satellite providers serving that market. A Scripps Sports deal makes every local Predators game free over the air on WNPX, with selected games also on WTVF NewsChannel 5 and the whole slate on cable and satellite inside the team's territory.
Fubo does not carry The Spot - Nashville 28. Fubo's regional channel list, which is where its own carriage is published, has no Nashville Predators channel on it — so Fubo is the wrong subscription if local games are what you want. It is the right one for the national windows on ESPN and ABC, and it confirms your local channels by ZIP at signup.
Worth saying plainly: the local games cost nothing. An antenna in Middle Tennessee picks up The Spot - Nashville 28 for free, and no streaming service is needed for them at all.
