2026 season
Where to watch MLB games
Nobody watches baseball in just one place anymore. In 2026 the games are spread across ESPN and the ESPN App, NBC and Peacock, Apple TV+ on Friday nights, plus FOX, TBS and a few showcase nights on Netflix. And MLB.TV is still the answer when your team isn't the local one. Everything on this page comes from an official announcement, so there are no guesses here.
Blackouts still apply: if a game airs on a national or local channel where you live, it usually won't be live on MLB.TV. Check the broadcaster's own site for your postcode before you pay for anything.
