While you were sleeping last night, a new Major League Baseball season got underway. Most teams are still in Arizona or Florida playing a final few spring training games, but the Dodgers and Padres find themselves in Seoul, South Korea, playing not exhibition games but two regular-season games that count in the standings. 

Change could soon be coming to the way you watch baseball — if not this season, then next. There has been a great upheaval in the past year with the regional sports networks (RSNs) that broadcast MLB games locally. The biggest two RSN networks are in tatters or gone altogether. Diamond Sports Group, owner of Bally Sports, in currently in bankruptcy proceedings, and Warner Bros. Discovery has sold off or shut down all of its AT&T SportsNet RSNs. 

Most teams will be on the same RSN channels as last season, but notably three teams — the Diamondbacks, Rockies and Padres — have already exited the RSN model and instead will stream their own games through MLB. Fans who live in the home markets of these three NL West teams won’t find the local broadcasts of their team’s games on cable, satellite or a live TV streaming service — other than the occasional nationally televised game on ESPN, Fox, FS1, TBS or Apple TV Plus. To watch night in and night out, local fans will need to buy the in-market streaming service direct from the team. 

It’s basically the in-market analog to the long-running, out-of-market MLB.TV service. If you live outside your favorite team’s home market, MLB.TV remains the best way to watch the vast majority of your team’s games throughout the season. 

Keep reading to find out the best way to watch or stream baseball in 2024 no matter where you live or which team you follow.

What’s going on with the Bally Sports RSNs?

Bally Sports owner Diamond Sports Group filed for bankruptcy right before the 2023 season started and announced earlier this year that it received a $115 million investment from Amazon. The bankruptcy process is still ongoing, but Diamond reached a deal with creditors so it can continue operations through the 2024 MLB season.

Bally Sports airs games in the home markets for 12 MLB teams: Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers. 

It’s expected that any change to the Bally Sports RSNs for each of these teams won’t happen until after the 2024 season. What happens next year is anyone’s guess, but with Amazon’s involvement, signs point toward Prime Video as a likely landing spot. 

Linear media rights (for traditional cable, satellite and streaming TV services) and streaming rights are two very different things, however, so it’s unlikely that it will be as simple as each of these 12 teams offering a streaming package on Prime Video next season. 

For example, Diamond owns the linear rights to broadcast games for 12 teams but owns the digital streaming rights for only five: Tigers, Royals, Marlins, Brewers and Rays. Many details still need to be ironed out between now and next year. So it’s possible those five will be available through Amazon, but the others won’t. Again, a lot still needs to be figured out.

What has replaced the AT&T SportsNet RSNs?

With Warner Bros. Discovery leaving the RSN business, three of the four teams that previously aired their games on an AT&T SportsNet RSN have now taken ownership of their RSN. The fourth team, the Rockies, also took ownership of local broadcast rights but moved on from an RSN model and to a direct-to-consumer streaming model.

The Astros will now broadcast its games in the Houston market on a new RSN called Space City Home Network, a joint venture it shares with the NBA’s Houston Rockets.

Similarly, Pirates games will now be broadcast in the Pittsburgh market on SportsNet Pittsburgh, which is a joint venture with the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins and Fenway Sports Group. Fenway Sports Group owns both the Penguins and Boston Red Sox and has a majority stake in NESN, the Red Sox’s RSN.

Mariners games will still be broadcast on Root SportsNet Northwest, an RSN the team now owns outright after Warner sold its minority share.

The biggest change of the former AT&T SportsNet teams is with the Rockies, whose games are no longer available on AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain and no new RSN channel was created to take its place. Instead, the Rockies will stream their games live on the Rockies.tv service, which is run by MLB. 

So, no RSN for the Rockies, Padres or Diamondbacks?

That’s right, while some teams created their own RSN to broadcast their games locally, three teams have gone to the direct-to-consumer streaming model. Fans who live in the home market of any of these three NL West teams, it’ll cost $20 a month or $100 for the season to stream the games at Rockies.tv, Padres.tv or Dbacks.tv. 

The service will let in-market fans watch most but not every game of the season because games that are nationally broadcast on ESPN, Fox, FS1, MLB Network, TBS or Apple TV Plus will be blacked out on the service. It’s the same situation out-of-market fans run into with MLB.TV.

You can also combine one of these in-market streaming services and out-of-market MLB.TV to get access to nearly every non-national game of the season. Blackout restrictions will apply, but the combined package costs $200 for the season, which is a savings of $50.

Live TV streaming service vs. MLB.TV

Unless you’re a Rockies, Padres or Diamondbacks fan with one of the new in-market streaming services, then you have one of two ways to stream MLB games day in, day out without a cable or satellite TV subscription:

• Subscribe to a live TV streaming service such as Fubo or DirecTV Stream
• Subscribe to MLB.TV

Depending on where you live, one of the major live TV streaming services could carry the channel that has your favorite team. Those channels, called regional sports networks, deliver almost all the regular-season games live. 

Most such services, however, carry only a handful of the 30 RSNs that show MLB games — and they’re typically the most expensive. DirecTV Stream carries the most RSNs, but you’ll need to spring for its $109-per-month plan, as its basic $80-per-month plan doesn’t include RSNs. Sling TV, a service that costs $40 per month, doesn’t have any RSNs for baseball. If you’re a baseball fan who needs your team’s RSN, a cable subscription might actually be cheaper than streaming.

The other option is MLB.TV, a separate service that carries every out-of-market game played by every team, live. It’s great for hard-core fans in general. MLB.TV costs $30 a month or $150 for the year. A single-team option runs $130 for the season. 

The big catch with MLB.TV is the blackout restriction: You can’t watch national games (those on ESPN, Fox, MLB Network, TBS or Apple TV Plus) or your local team’s games live. Instead, they become available about 90 minutes after the game ends. You also can’t watch your local team through MLB.TV while it’s playing in its home market. 

If you’re a Yankees fan in the New York area, for example, you can’t start to watch the Yankees game until an hour and a half after the final out. Other games aren’t blacked out live, which makes MLB.TV ideal if you live outside of your team’s home market.

MLB.TV also isn’t the only streaming option for baseball fans. As mentioned with the Diamondbacks, Padres and Rockies there are a few others that let you pay just the regional sports network without requiring you to get a traditional package. We’ll get to this more later, but the list of these teams include: 

• Arizona Diamondbacks (team’s own service)
• Boston Red Sox (NESN 360)
• Colorado Rockies (team’s own service)
• Detroit Tigers (Bally Sports Plus)
• Kansas City Royals (Bally Sports Plus)
• Miami Marlins (Bally Sports Plus)
• Milwaukee Brewers (Bally Sports Plus)
• New York Yankees (YES app)
• San Diego Padres (team’s own service)
• Tampa Bay Rays (Bally Sports Plus)

Fubo: Best for (most) fans of the home team

Due to MLB.TV’s blackout restriction, a live TV streaming service is the best bet for following your local team. Many services carry the RSN that has exclusive rights to most regular season games, but availability varies by location and service. 

In addition to the RSNs listed below, live TV services carry most if not all of the major national TV networks — ESPN, Fox, FS1, MLB Network and TBS — that regularly televise matchups from different teams around the league. 

Here’s how the RSNs stack up on each service.
