The Best MLB Streaming Services for 2024 (2024)

Hulu + Live TV's lineup includes BTN, FOX (home of Major League Baseball on FOX), Golf Channel, and TNT among the other sports channels on the service. The Español add-on ($4.99 per month) gets you international sports coverage via ESPN Deportes.

Hulu + Live TV is an excellent choice for general audiences who want sports alongside most popular news and entertainment channels. All subscribers now enjoy the Enhanced Cloud DVR at no extra charge, which increases DVR storage from 50 hours to 200 hours. For $9.99 per month, the Unlimited Screens package increases concurrent stream limit from two to unlimited on your home network and three mobile streams when away from it. The service supports 1080p/60fps live streaming on select platforms, while on-demand content is mostly available in 1080p.

MLB and NBC teamed up to produce an exclusive Sunday morning baseball package that airs on live TV, as well as NBC's Peaco*ck streaming service. Along with these Sunday games, you can also watch classic MLB games and historical MLB documentaries. The multi-year partnership even grants Peaco*ck exclusive rights to the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game that features top minor league prospects.

Along with this exclusive baseball content, Peaco*ck is our top pick for anyone looking for an affordable streaming service overall. Peaco*ck is also home to a substantial library of popular on-demand shows and movies, including some original titles. You won't get any additional sports coverage by paying for the $11.99-per-month Premium Plus tier, but you will gain the ability to download titles for offline viewing on mobile platforms and to watch most on-demand content without ads.

YouTube TV has a good selection of TV networks for baseball fans, including FOX. YouTube TV's sports lineup also features ESPN, Golf Channel, NFL Network, and Olympic Channel. The optional Sports Plus package ($11 per month) adds NFL RedZone and FOX Soccer Plus. It recently lost the MLB Network, but these other channels should pick up some of the slack.

YouTube TV is for people who want to record baseball action for later. With YouTube TV, you get unlimited cloud DVR storage (recordings are kept for up to nine months), up to three simultaneous device streams, and support for six user accounts. All those features are useful when family members want to watch different programs that are set to air at the same time. YouTube TV is notably one of the few services that streams live channels in 1080p. The 4K Plus add-on lets you stream select live channels in 4K, watch DVR recordings offline, and stream from an unlimited number of devices on your home network. In addition, YouTube TV's testing a new multiview feature that lets you watch for selected streams at once.

Fubo is known for having one of the best sports packages available. Its sports lineup includes FOX, Golf Channel, NFL Network, and the Olympic Channel, plus international channels, such as beIN Sports and TUDN. With the fubo Extra package ($7.99 per month), you can get the MLB Network, along with sports fan favorites like NBA TV, NHL Network, and Tennis Channel. The Sports Plus with NFL RedZone package ($10.99 per month) includes MLB Strike Zone, a channel that lets you see highlights, live look-ins, and updates from regular-season games without commercials.

Fubo is for all sports fans. All of Fubo's plans let you record up to 250 hours of DVR content, which it keeps forever. The Cloud DVR 1000 add-on ($16.99 per month) increases that limit to 1,000 hours. All plans also let you stream on three screens at once, but the Unlimited Screens add-on ($9.99 per month) increases that limit to 10 devices on your home network and two off of it. Other cool features of Fubo are Lookback, which lets you watch select sports programs up to 72 hours after they aired, and Startover, which enables you to restart certain live events from the beginning.

Max's new sports offerings now have live broadcasts of MLB games on Warner Bros. Discovery channels including TBS, TNT, and truTV. Not all competing services offer these channels, so it's a compelling pitch. It just costs an extra $9.99 per month alongside your normal subscription.

If you want access to baseball on TBS, Max is one of the best, easiest, and most affordable streaming options. It's also a top streaming service overall thanks to its modern features and a huge library spanning everything from prestige TV, to live news, to excellent animation, to the world's most irresistible reality TV garbage.

To watch many MLB season games, you need to opt for Sling's Orange + Blue plan ($60 per month) that includes FOX (in select markets). The Sports Extra package ($15 per month) gets you beIN Sports, ESPN U, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, and NHL Network.

Sling TV empowers viewers who want to customize their streaming packages. Sling TV includes 50 hours of DVR storage with a subscription, but you can increase that limit to 200 hours for an extra $5 per month. Currently, you can't stream any live content above 720p. Sling TV is available on mobile phones, streaming devices, Xbox consoles, and the web.

Apple TV+ is the exclusive home for the new Friday Night Baseball, a weekly doubleheader show that runs for 12 weeks. Alongside the games themselves, the package includes pre- and post-game shows, and is available in eight countries. Most exciting? You don't need to be a paid Apple TV+ subscriber to enjoy these games. You just need a device that runs the Apple TV app, such as an iPhone or Mac.

Baseball coverage is just yet another example of how Apple TV+ is a rising star in the video streaming world. Subscribers can also enjoy a growing, ad-free library of high-quality original shows and movies, from the moody Severance to the beloved Ted Lasso to the Academy Award-winning Coda. Like so many Apple products, though, Apple TV+ is really best enjoyed by customers willing to immerse themselves in the entire Apple ecosystem.

DirecTV Stream's Entertainment plan covers the channels you need to watch the MLB postseason, including FOX. The service has two innovative playback features: Lookback and Rewind. On select channels and programs, this functionality let you watch previously aired content (up to 72 hours in the past) and restart live streams from the beginning of the broadcast.

With its local and national channels, DirecTV Stream is for baseball fans who need help tracking the tricky world of regional sports networks. It also now offers unlimited DVR storage and keeps recordings for up to nine months. Not only is this a massive improvement that brings it closer in line with competing services, it's perfect and convenient for sports viewers, too.
