Your Top Options for Watching MLB Games
Watching Major League Baseball in 2025 offers a variety of choices, from traditional cable to dedicated streaming services. Your best option often depends on whether you want to watch out-of-market games, your local team, or nationally televised matchups.
1. MLB.TV: The King of Out-of-Market Games
For fans who want to watch games outside of their local market, MLB.TV is the undisputed champion.
- What it offers: Stream every out-of-market regular-season game live or on-demand. It also includes 24/7 access to MLB Network (US only), live MiLB games, MLB Big Inning, and live audio for all MLB teams.
- Pricing:
- MLB.TV Yearly: Around $119.99 - $149.99 for the season.
- MLB.TV Monthly: Around $29.99/month.
- MLB.TV Single Team: Around $104.99 - $129.99 for the season, allowing you to follow a single favorite out-of-market team.
- Blackout Restrictions: This is the most crucial caveat. MLB.TV is subject to local blackout restrictions. This means if a game is being broadcast on a regional sports network (RSN) in your area, or nationally on a channel like FOX, TBS, or ESPN, that game will be blacked out on MLB.TV. You'll need an alternative method to watch your local team or national broadcasts.
2. Live TV Streaming Services: The Cord-Cutter's Best Friend
If you've cut the cord, live TV streaming services are your go-to for catching both national and regional MLB broadcasts, often including the RSNs that carry your local team's games (subject to availability in your area).
- Hulu + Live TV: Offers a comprehensive channel lineup including ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, FS1, FS2, and TBS, plus access to many regional sports networks. It also includes Disney+ and ESPN+.
- YouTube TV: Provides a wide array of channels, including most national MLB broadcasters like ESPN, Fox, and FS1. It's known for its unlimited cloud DVR.
- Fubo: Originally soccer-centric, Fubo now offers a significant number of sports channels, including ESPN, Fox, FS1, and MLB Network. It boasts a large DVR and multiple simultaneous streams.
- Sling TV: A more budget-friendly option, Sling TV (specifically the Orange & Blue plan) includes ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, Fox, and FS1. You might need to add the "Sports Extra" package for MLB Network.
- DIRECTV Stream: Often lauded for its extensive coverage of regional sports networks (RSNs), making it a strong choice for fans who want to ensure they can watch their local team without blackouts (if the RSN is carried).
3. Traditional Cable/Satellite TV Providers
For many, traditional cable or satellite subscriptions remain a reliable way to watch MLB. You'll typically get access to your local regional sports network (RSN) for your team's games, plus national channels like ESPN, FOX, FS1, and TBS. Check your local provider's channel lineup for specific RSNs.
4. Specific Broadcast Networks and Streaming Partnerships
Keep an eye out for specific games that might be exclusively available on certain platforms:
- TBS & Max: The Atlanta Braves @ New York Mets game on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, is scheduled to be on TBS and Max. TNT Sports has a partnership with MLB for Tuesday night games.
- Apple TV+: "Friday Night Baseball" on Apple TV+ offers exclusive games on Fridays throughout the season. (Not applicable for this Tuesday, but good to know for future planning).
- Peacock: "MLB Sunday Leadoff" on Peacock offers exclusive Sunday morning games. (Not applicable for this Tuesday, but good to know for future planning).
- Amazon Prime Video: Some regional broadcasts, like the New York Yankees games via YES Network, are sometimes available through Amazon Prime Video, often requiring an additional subscription.
Understanding Blackout Restrictions
Blackouts are a common source of frustration for baseball fans. They exist primarily to protect the exclusive broadcasting rights of regional sports networks (RSNs) and national broadcasters within specific geographic areas.
- How they work: If you're within a team's designated "home market" (which can sometimes extend across multiple states), any game involving that team will be blacked out on MLB.TV. You're expected to watch it via the local RSN or a national broadcast.
- Why they exist: RSNs pay significant fees for these exclusive rights, and blackouts ensure that fans in those areas subscribe to the RSN to watch their local team.
- Solutions for Blackouts:
- Live TV Streaming Services: As mentioned above, these services often carry the RSNs that are blacking out games on MLB.TV.
- VPN (Virtual Private Network): Some fans use VPNs to bypass blackouts by making it appear as if their internet connection is coming from a different location where the game isn't blacked out. Be aware that the legality and effectiveness of this method can vary and may go against the terms of service of streaming platforms.
Pro Tips for the Ultimate MLB Viewing Experience
- Know Your RSN: Identify the regional sports network that carries your local team's games. This is crucial for ensuring you can watch most of their schedule.
- Check National Broadcasts: Always check if your desired game is on a national channel like TBS, FOX, or FS1, as these often supersede local RSN broadcasts.
- Consider a Combination: Many avid fans combine an MLB.TV subscription (for out-of-market games) with a live TV streaming service (for local and national broadcasts) to get full coverage.
- Free Game of the Day: MLB.com often offers a free "Game of the Day" on MLB.TV, so keep an eye out for that if you're looking to catch a specific matchup without a subscription.
With this guide, you're well-equipped to enjoy every thrilling moment of Major League Baseball on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. Grab your snacks, settle in, and get ready for some baseball!
