Major League Baseball announced that it has made in-market streaming subscriptions available for 20 teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The other clubs with in-market streaming subscriptions for the 2026 season are the Arizona Diamondbacks, Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays and Washington Nationals.
Additionally, local Detroit Tigers games will be produced and distributed by MLB with an in-market streaming subscription available at a later date.
The Diamondbacks, Reds, Guardians, Rockies, Royals, Marlins, Brewers, Twins, Cardinals, Padres, Mariners, Rays and Nationals will also have their local games produced and distributed by MLB this season.
MLB took over those teams’ respective local media rights deals after their regional sports network, Main Street Sports, appeared headed for liquidation.
Each in-market streaming option delivers all local games to subscribers located anywhere in the team’s home territory, essentially removing local blackouts.
Spectrum SportsNet LA launched SNLA+ in 2025, which allows customers inside the Dodgers’ television market to access archived and live games; pregame and postgame coverage, including during the playoffs; and episodes of the network’s various programming, such as “Backstage Dodgers.”
SNLA+ is available for direct purchase at $29.99 per month or $199.99 for an annual subscription. For the other five teams distributed through partnerships with RSNs (Athletics, Orioles, Mets, Phillies and Giants), prices and packages may vary.
As for the 14 non-RSN clubs, subscription prices are the same as last year, $99.99 per season or $19.99 per month. Fans can bundle a team’s local streaming service with an MLB.TV out-of-market subscription for $199.99 per season or $39.99 per month.
Fans of the 14 teams whose local games will be produced by MLB can look forward to seeing special features that typically appear in national games. In previous years, MLB’s local game productions have included live drones, Wire Cam, RF cameras with a shallow depth-of-field look, and two Umpire Cam formats.
“We are pleased to continue expanding MLB’s local media services in 2026, ensuring that fans in each location will be able to enjoy another memorable baseball season on the platform of their choice,” MLB Deputy Commissioner of Business & Media Noah Garden said.
“We are proud of the award-winning production MLB has offered Clubs while increasing the reach of the games, enhancing production features, and offering greater access to the players and game. Additionally, we are listening to our fans who want blackouts eliminated. MLB’s in-market streaming option allows us to remove a point of friction for the fans.”
MLB.TV games available on ESPN App
The league also announced that MLB.TV games will be available on the ESPN App in the United States this season, following a partnership announcement this past November.
Existing MLB.TV subscribers will be renewed automatically through their MLB.TV account, while new MLB.TV subscribers who are already ESPN Unlimited subscribers have an opportunity to purchase an MLB.TV subscription for $134.99 instead of $149.99.
New MLB.TV customers can subscribe directly through ESPN platforms and will receive ESPN Unlimited free for one month.
All MLB.TV subscribers can enjoy the service on either the MLB App or ESPN App.
