where to watch mets vs st. louis cardinals

You can usually watch Mets vs. St. Louis Cardinals games through a mix of national broadcasts, local regional sports networks, and streaming services, depending on the specific game and where you live.

Main ways to watch

  • National TV games
    Some Mets–Cardinals matchups get picked up by national networks like FOX or ESPN.
* If it’s on FOX or ESPN, you can watch via most live TV streamers (DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV; ESPN games can also be seen via Sling Orange).

* National exclusives (FOX, ESPN, Apple TV+) may not appear on team-specific streaming like Cardinals.TV.
  • Cardinals home territory (Midwest)
    • In 2026, in-market Cardinals fans can stream all local Cardinals games live and on demand with Cardinals.TV through the MLB app (separate subscription).
* Traditional **cable/satellite** and in-market sports channels still carry Cardinals games; exact channels depend on your provider and region.
  • Mets home territory (New York area)
    • Local Mets games are typically on New York RSNs and partner stations; some games (including at Cardinals) have been carried on local New York broadcast TV like FOX 5 or PIX11 for streaming in the NYC metro area if you authenticate with a TV provider.
* To stream Mets games via a local broadcaster like PIX11, you generally need to live in the NYC metro area and sign in with your TV provider on their live stream site or app.
  • Out-of-market fans
    • If you live outside both the Mets and Cardinals TV territories, you can watch most non-national games with MLB.TV (sometimes as an add‑on through services like ESPN+, Fubo, or Amazon Prime Video).
* MLB.TV carries out‑of‑market games unless a national network has exclusive rights for that matchup.

Example: a specific Mets–Cardinals date

For individual regular-season games (like April 18 or early May matchups mentioned in TV listings), guides often list:

  • A primary TV carrier (e.g., FOX or a regional network), plus
  • Live streaming options like Fubo or other live TV services that carry that channel.

If you share the exact date and whether it’s in New York or St. Louis, you can check that day’s listing on MLB.com or a TV-schedule site to see the exact channel and streaming options for that specific Mets vs. Cardinals game.
