Streaming Major League Baseball: The Daily Grind

Baseball's 162-game schedule offers an immense amount of content for streamers. The primary vehicle is MLB.tv, which allows out-of-market viewing of every regular-season game. However, local blackouts are a major frustration for fans.

Navigating MLB Blackouts

The most common question is: 'Why can't I watch my home team?' MLB.tv is for out-of-market fans. If you live in Chicago, you cannot watch the Cubs on MLB.tv because rights belong to the Marquee Network. You need a live TV service (like Fubo) that carries your specific Regional Sports Network (RSN).

Exclusive National Streams

Tech giants have entered the baseball world. To watch every game, you need to know these exclusives:

  • Apple TV+ (Friday Night Baseball): Exclusive global rights to a Friday doubleheader. No blackouts apply.
  • Peacock (Sunday Leadoff): Exclusive early Sunday games.
  • Roku Channel: Occasionally hosts free Sunday games.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I watch the World Series?

The World Series airs on FOX. It can be watched free with a digital antenna.

Does MLB.tv include playoffs?

No. Postseason games air on national TV (FOX, TBS, ESPN) and are blacked out on MLB.tv in the US.

Can I bypass MLB blackouts?

Technically, a VPN can sometimes bypass restrictions, but this violates MLB.tv terms of service.

Is Friday Night Baseball free on Apple TV?

Previously yes, but it now usually requires an Apple TV+ subscription.
