Complete Baseball Streaming Guide for 2026
With 2,430 regular season games, MLB provides more live streaming content than any other American sport. Here's how to watch it all.
MLB Streaming Ecosystem
MLB games are available through multiple channels: regional sports networks carry the bulk of each team's schedule in their local market, while national broadcasts appear on Fox, ESPN, and TBS. Streaming-exclusive games air on Apple TV+ (Friday Night Baseball) and Peacock throughout the season.
MLB.TV: The Out-of-Market Solution
MLB.TV is the league's streaming service for out-of-market games. At $24.99/month or $149.99 for the full season, it provides access to every game outside your local market's blackout restrictions. It's the essential service for fans who've moved away from their team's market or follow multiple teams.
Navigating Blackout Restrictions
MLB's blackout rules remain the most complex in professional sports. In-market games are exclusive to your regional sports network and aren't available on MLB.TV until 90 minutes after the final out. National broadcasts on Fox, ESPN, and TBS are blacked out on MLB.TV everywhere. Understanding your market's restrictions is key to choosing the right combination of services.
