Where To Watch MLB Network Now That It Left YouTube TV

Updated on 2023-01-31 By Dennis Restauro

MLB Network

Just weeks before the start of Spring training MLB Network has been dropped from YouTube TV’s channel lineup after the two parties failed to reach a carriage agreement. You can still watch MLB Network through any of the following streaming services: Sling TV, fuboTV, Vidgo and DIRECTV STREAM. Let’s see which streaming service will be the best one for you to watch MLB Network this season.

How to Watch MLB Network without Cable

As with most content on cable today, there are alternate ways to enjoy the channels and shows you want without forking over mountains of cash to a cable TV provider. Here are a few free ways you can stream MLB Network online before the start of the 2023 season.

MLB Network on Sling TV

MLB Network is not offered in Sling’s base packages, but subscribers can add the channel to the Orange or the Blue package for $11 as part of its “Sports Extra.” Both the Sling Orange and Sling Blue cost $40 per month. The base package and Sports Extra add-on would bring the total amount of the package to $51 per month.

Sling TV provides a live stream of MLB Network, so you can watch what would be airing on MLB just as if you had cable. A subscription to Sling TV provides:

  • The ability to watch live on your TV with a Roku, Amazon Fire, or other supported streaming device
  • A Cloud DVR
  • Most popular channels typically found on cable
  • The ability to pick and choose various channel packages.

Sling TV offers a deal where your first month is 50% off. There is no monthly contract so you can cancel at any time with no commitment or cancelation fees. Check out our review of Sling TV for more details on this live streaming service.

FuboTV

MLB Network is available on fuboTV. However, the channel needs to be added through either the “Extras” package for an additional $7.99 per month or Sports Extra Add-On for an additional $10.99 per month. This is on top of the monthly cost of $74.99 per month for a subscription to fuboTV’s “Pro Plan.”

You can try fuboTV before subscribing with this 1-week free trial. The service offers the following features:

  • MLB Network, ESPN, FS1, and more are available in fuboTV’s channel lineup
