Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way to stream MLB games on Roku?

The most affordable option is getting an MLB.TV single team subscription for $129.99 per season. This lets you follow just your favorite team’s out-of-market games live or on-demand.

Does MLB.TV include playoff games?

Yes, with an MLB.TV subscription you can stream live out-of-market playoff games, excluding those airing on Fox, FS1, and TBS.

Can I use MLB.TV to watch my local team?

Unfortunately MLB.TV is subject to local blackout restrictions based on your location, so you won’t be able to stream in-market live games.

What if I want to watch baseball on my TV without Roku?

Most of these streaming services are available across devices like smart TVs, streaming sticks/boxes, phones, and more. As long as you have an internet connection and compatible app or browser, you can access the same baseball content.

Why do some games say “out-of-market only”?

Regional broadcasting rights limit which games you can watch in your location. That’s why some live streams are only accessible out-of-market. MLB.TV lifts these restrictions so you can watch baseball no matter where you live.

What internet speed do I need for streaming?

For the best performance, your internet connection should reliably hit at least 25 Mbps download speeds. Faster is better especially if multiple people are streaming at once.
