MLBReviews of mlb.tv

I thought MLB.tv was supposed to be THE PLACE to watch baseball. But it seems like more and more games have been sold to third party streaming services, making them unavailable on MLB. If I really want to watch games all summer, I'll need to subscribe to Fox, ESPN, NBCSports, Peacock, AppleTV, AND MLB. Also, I'm in the Richmond area, yet Washington DC games are blacked out for me. It's 100 miles away!

Increasing number of out of market games unavailable to watch live due to providers such as Peacock, NBC, NBCSN, AppleTV+, FOX and ESPN(There are exceptions with ESPN.) On their web page MLB.TV says "Watch EVERY out-of-market game LIVE or on demand". Be advised though, it isn't your choice. A good example of his was July 5th, 2026 when all games were on Peacock, NBC or NBCSN. Having an active MLB.TV subscription was completely useless on 7/5.

MLB.TV has gotten progressively worse over the last 4 years. At first they stopped showing the shows from MLB channel in exchange for 20 second "click bait" clips. And now as of July 5, 2026 I can't even watch any baseball game because they've been blacked out and sold to private airing. If you pay $200 a year (per account) you should be able to watch a game on a Sunday. It's pathetic, it's cheap and I am DONE. Thanks for killing something so innocent Manfred, I'm done.

on July 5 2026, entire line is blacked out.A slap in the face to subscribers.

Why do these men get paid SO FREAKING MUCH! A whole game not one hit, like wtf!!! They need to pay by hits and performances!!!!

ESPN and MLB have baseball fans by the short-hairs. They market their regular season plan as being able to watch every single game, but this is false. They have an agreement with AppleTV to broadcast Friday night games, and with Peacock to broadcast others, blacking out MLBTV. Also, the feed is very inconsistent for out of market fans. I am watching a game right now being broadcasted from New York City, and the feed is interrupted about every 4-5 minutes because there is a thunderstorm in my area right now. If I didn’t love my team so much, I would scrap this whole experience as yet another example of corporate greed by a select oligarchal few who, outside of their own self interests, do not care about anyone else.

Bought Dback tv and every game has either been on a blackout or on another channel such as Apple TV. What a waste of money. Will never buy again.

When purchasing MLB they tell you you will get all out of network games that turns out to be bullshit. Part of the games are on Apple TV another part are on FUBO network. So unless you want 3 different subscriptions you can't get all out if network games. Don't believe the adds from MLB they lie. Never again will I get MLB.
