America's favorite pastime has returned for the 2025 MLB season, and with it returns the endless kerfuffle of figuring out which streaming services you need to keep up with your team. Watching sports has become particularly frustrating in recent years — particularly for cord-cutters just wanting to kick back and enjoy some baseball. If you can't fathom missing a single inning, we've got your guide to watching the 2025 MLB season, including all of the best streaming deals.
Read on for our top picks and everything else you need to know to tune in.
The 2025 Major League Baseball season officially kicked off on March 18, with the traditional Opening Day falling on March 27. Now in full swing, the regular season runs through late September, with each team playing 162 games.
MLB games in 2025 will air across ESPN, Fox, FS1, MLB Network, TBS, NBC, Apple TV+ (exclusive streaming games), Roku Channel, plus a variety of RSNs (regional sports networks). In other words, you'll need a variety of channels if you want to catch every game. It's not as straightforward as simply subscribing to a single streaming service or having cable. Let's get into it.
While the NFL offers national broadcasts of most games with specific in-market choice games, the MLB, NBA, and NHL complicate things exponentially with regional sports networks (RSNs). These are basically sports-specific TV networks dedicated to a specific local market or geographic area. If you live in the same region as your favorite team, you'll need to know which RSN broadcasts your team's games. Examples include FanDuel Sports Network, Marquee Sports Network, Victory Plus, and MASN. Take a peak at the MLB schedule if you aren't sure which RSN your team plays on. For a complete list of each team's RSN, see the FAQs below.
If you really only care about your local team, you'll be able to tune into most games through your team's RSN since you're considered in-market. Most RSNs offer direct subscriptions for you to watch online (with the exception of the Baltimore Orioles, Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, and Seattle Mariners) or subscriptions through MLB.TV. These vary in price from about $18 to $30 per month, or some offer annual or seasonal subscriptions as well. Of course, these subscriptions won't include nationally broadcast games on ESPN, Fox, FS1, MLB Network, and TBS but will include the majority of the season. For the four teams that don't offer direct subscriptions, you'll need a pay-TV subscription (like Fubo or DirecTV Stream) that includes your team's RSN (more on that below).
If you want to watch a team that's out-of-market for your region (say you're an Orioles fan living on the West Coast), you don't necessarily need to know which RSN your team plays on. Instead, you'll want to opt for MLB.TV instead. MLB.TV is Major League Baseball's official streaming service. It shows almost every game of every team for the entire regular season, with the exception of your local in-market games. In other words, Orioles fans living in Baltimore won't be able to watch Orioles games on MLB.TV. Orioles fans living outside the Baltimore region will. MLB.TV costs $29.99 per month — learn more below.
In short, for in-market games, you'll need an RSN subscription or a pay-TV subscription that offers your RSN. For out-of-market games, you'll need MLB.TV.
As stated before, subscribing to your team's RSN is the best way to catch the most games throughout the regular season. However, there are also nationally broadcast games that your RSN won't broadcast, plus a few games on Apple TV+, Roku Channel, and Prime Video. Watching sports in 2025 is so complicated, y'all.
Here's a breakdown of which streaming service has what games, how much they cost, and the best deals available to save a few bucks.
Opens in a new window Credit: MLB.TV MLB.TV free 7-day trial, then $149.99 per year (save $29.95) MLB.TV All Teams package gives you access to every out-of-market game. If you live in a different region than your favorite team, this is your best bet to getting the most bang for your buck. It'll run you either $29.99 per month or $149.99 for the entire season, which will save you about $29.95 or 17%. If you want to save a little more, you can opt for a single-team package for $129.99. Just scroll down to where it says "additional packages" to select your team. With any package you choose, you'll also get a seven-day free trial to kick things off.
Opens in a new window Credit: Fubo TV Fubo TV 5-day free trial, then $64.99 for your first month ($84.99/month thereafter) If you're looking to stream your home team's games on not only their RSN but also national broadcasts, Fubo TV gives you the most comprehensive coverage. Be sure to double-check that your team's RSN is listed in the Fubo channel list before committing (just search on the main page). Beyond the widest RSN coverage, it also gives you access to most of the main networks for national broadcasts — ESPN, Fox, FS1, MLB Network, NBC — with the exception of TBS. The Pro plan usually costs $84.99 per month, but you can get your first month for only $64.99 after a five-day trial.
While Fubo TV is the most comprehensive option for MLB coverage, there are also some honorable mentions worth noting:
DirecTV Stream — Choice package includes RSNs and major broadcast channels for $109/month
Sling TV — A la carte channel selection, starting at $26/month for your first month (no RSNs)
YouTube TV — Base package includes major broadcast channels, free 21-day trial, then $59.99/month for two months (no RSNs)
Hulu + Live TV — Base package includes major broadcast channels, 3-day free trial, then $82.99/month (no RSNs)
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple TV+ Apple TV+ 7-day free trial, then $9.99 per month Once again, Apple has partnered up with the MLB to offer an exclusive doubleheader every Friday for Apple TV+ subscribers. The best part is there are no local broadcast restrictions. Subscribers can enjoy two marquee matchups as their Friday night ritual. If you're new to Apple TV+, you'll get a free seven-day trial, then it'll cost you $9.99 per month. As a bonus, you'll unlock the entire Apple TV+ catalog along with MLB games.
Opens in a new window Credit: Roku The Roku Channel Free For the second year in a row, the Roku Channel will stream 18 games on Sundays starting in mid-May. Called the MLB Sunday Leadoff, the free channel will stream one of the first games of the day on Sunday mornings. You can access the Roku Channel via Roku devices and TVs, the mobile app, streaming devices, and smart TVs for no cost.
While our picks above cover a good chunk of the MLB 2025 season, there are a few other things to note. Since Fubo TV, our top pick for a live TV streaming service, doesn't give you access to TBS, you may also want to sign up for a Max subscription. Max shows TBS and TruTV broadcasts on Tuesday nights this season. You'll need the ad-free standard plan to watch, which costs $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year.
Yankees fans, in particular, will also need Prime Video to stream 21 exclusive games this season (the first falling on April 2). Yes, that means even though you have the YES app or pay for a live TV streaming service with the YES network, these games won't be viewable. Prime Video on its own costs $8.99 per month.
