This is my third season subscribing to MLB.TV and major problems have not been addressed and blackouts are increasing. It is impossible to watch an entire game without the need to reload it at least 2-3 times. There are more game blackouts due to broadcasts by other streaming services. Am I expected to subscribe to every streaming service simply to watch my team's games. This is exactly the reason I subscribed to MLB.TV and they're not delivering their end of our contract!

Way too much advertising
Way too much advertising. They even cram them in during the game. When there is a slowdown they put up some 5 second schill about ford trucks or a law center I'll never use (i mostly watch the tigers). During the normal commercial time between innings and such the advertising is sooo repetitive, i could say them in my sleep. Been a subscriber for many years but think I'm out next season. I'll just watch the replays on YouTube.

The app used to be decent two months…
The app used to be decent two months ago. But the last month or so all I get is video streaming errors and it constantly freezes and there is no solution for it so basically the app sucks and you get what you get.

Long time baseball fan
Long time baseball fan, I am getting more disappointed every year. Expected to buy more and more channels to watch games and the games are evolving into professional wrestling. Players mugging for the camera and excessive celebrating for doing their job. If you keep changing the rules you should change the name of the game. It won't be baseball anymore.

BLACKED OUT
Today, July 5, 2026, EVERY game is blacked out due to a deal with Paramount and NBC Sports. EVERY GAME. This is crazy for a subscription service. Also, so far this season I've had MLBTV system problems 3 times that blacked out games that required me to contact customer support for resolution. I can't believe EVERY game is blacked out today - so much for taking care of subscribers.

This was a rip-off
This was a rip-off. Every time you get a day off to watch a game, it is blacked out for one reason or another. First, you have to buy Apple TV; next time, you have to buy ESPN plus; next time, it's only on local tv (of which there are none.
It's so frustrating you can pay a player 50 million dollars, but you can't let us watch the games we paid for.

MLBTV to ESPN huge mistake
To Whom It May Concern,
I have been an MLB.TV customer for over five years, and I have to say that moving portions of the viewing experience to ESPN has been one of the worst decisions MLB has made from a fan's perspective.
Every time I try to log in and watch a game, I have to jump through multiple hoops just to access content that I already pay for. The login process is confusing, inconsistent, and far more difficult than it should be.
What makes matters even worse is the lack of customer support. When there is a problem, there is no easy way to speak with a live person and get it resolved. For a service that costs me $149 per year, that's unacceptable.
I've been a loyal customer because I love baseball and enjoy following my team regularly. Instead, the current experience has become so frustrating that I find myself losing interest in watching games altogether. Frankly, this change has pushed me closer to attending games in person rather than paying for a streaming service that is increasingly difficult to use.
MLB.TV used to be simple, reliable, and fan-friendly. The current setup feels like a step backward.
I hope MLB takes customer feedback seriously and works to improve the viewing and login experience before more loyal fans decide to walk away.
Sincerely,
Pedro Reyes
