where can i watch the phillies

You can watch the Phillies on NBC Sports Philadelphia if you’re in the Philadelphia-area market. If you’re out of market, MLB.TV is the main option, and national games can also appear on ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, MLB Network, Peacock, Apple TV+, and sometimes other streaming services.

Best places to watch

  • In-market TV: NBC Sports Philadelphia is the main home for most Phillies games.
  • In-market streaming: Phillies.TV is available for many local games.
  • Out-of-market streaming: MLB.TV is the standard choice.
  • Cable/satellite add-ons: MLB EXTRA INNINGS can also carry many out-of-market games.
  • National broadcasts: ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, MLB Network, Peacock, and Apple TV+ may carry selected games.

Simple way to pick

  • Live in Philly or nearby: Start with NBC Sports Philadelphia.
  • Live elsewhere: Use MLB.TV.
  • Want the cheapest path: Check whether the game is on a national channel you already get, then use MLB.TV only when needed.

Local blackouts

Local blackout rules can still apply depending on where you live, so the exact option depends on whether you’re inside the Phillies’ home broadcast territory. That is why some fans use Phillies.TV or a live TV service that includes NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Common services

  • Hulu + Live TV may include NBC Sports Philadelphia in some areas.
  • YouTube TV and other live TV bundles may carry national channels, but local sports access depends on location.
  • Peacock has carried select Phillies games this season.
  • Apple TV+ has also carried some MLB games.
