Golden Knight Hockey
I want to be able to watch the Golden Knights Hockey team play on channel 684. But the only way I can watch it is if I pay for the sports package. I can't understand that because COX cable offers it for free in Las Vegas. So way can't we get the games for free like COX does?
Last year I asked the same question and they allowed me to watch it for free. for 3 months. Then they said at the end of the 3 months to call back and they would extend it so I could watch the games. But no one offered that to me on Direct TV. Even in 2017 The Review Journal Post that DIrect TV was allowing us to watch the games for free on 684. I'm fine if they would just turn it on for the game and then turn it off after the game.

Channel 684 is a Regional Sports Network (RSN).
You get the RSNs and specific teams for where you live if in Choice or above: www.directv.com/rsn
If the team is out-of-market, then you get the NHL Center ICE to watch in-season games that are not in-market for you.
The Sports Pack is more for college sports or other events in each reason. Professional sports are blacked out if they are out-of-market.

I tried the link you told me about. www.directv.com/rsn.
ZIP Code: Update
The 89123 ZIP Code is in the home team territory for the following pro teams.
With HD Access select channels and teams available in HD are noted below:
ATRW
684
AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain West
Vegas Golden Knights
It says available for Choice, XTRA, Choice Ultimate, Premier. SO then shouldn't get it when the game come on. I just don't know which I have from Direct TV. I might have Choice but not sure.

So that confirms Golden Knights are in-market for you. So they should be on the RSN, unless a particular game is being broadcast on a local channel for your area. Sometimes a local affiliate gets the rights to a game, and the local's market is a smaller area than what the RSN covers. But if blacked out on the RSN and none of your locals has the game, even if DirecTV doesn't have that exact local, then there is a technical issue.
What model box?
Have you tried a red button reset, full power cycle (unplugging power for at least 20 seconds), or tried www.directv.com/refresh to refresh what services are authorized for your boxes?
Do all of your boxes have the issue?
On a small note, the RSN page has one error. Only one package has Choice in the name. The packages of Choice Xtra and Choice Ultimate were renamed to just Xtra and Ultimate. Had too much confusion with 3 package having Choice in the name. As long as you have Choice, Xtra, Ultimate or Premier than that channel should be available.
