You can watch Los Angeles Dodgers games through a mix of regional sports channels, live-TV streaming services, and MLB’s own platforms, depending on where you live and whether the game is on a national broadcast.

Main ways to watch Dodgers

  • In the Los Angeles market (local games)
    • Most regular-season Dodgers games air on Spectrum SportsNet LA , the team’s regional sports network.
* Spectrum SportsNet LA is available via certain **DIRECTV STREAM** packages (especially the Choice plan and above), which include other sports channels like ESPN, FOX, FS1, and TBS.

* Some games are also carried on **national networks** such as FOX or ESPN, which you can get via many cable and streaming bundles.
  • Outside the LA market (out-of-market fans)
    • The primary option is MLB.TV , which streams every out-of-market regular-season game, including the Dodgers, subject to blackout rules in the team’s home territory.
* MLB.TV is available as a standalone subscription or as an add-on through services like **Prime Video Channels**.
  • Standalone and team-focused streaming
    • Some packages mention a SportsNet LA+ –style standalone streaming option that includes Dodgers regional broadcasts without a full cable bundle, usually on a monthly or annual plan.
* This is aimed at fans in the local territory who want the channel but not traditional cable.

Popular live TV streaming services

These services can help if you do not have traditional cable:

  • DIRECTV STREAM
    • Carries Spectrum SportsNet LA in eligible areas (so you can watch most Dodgers games locally).
* Also includes national sports channels like **ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS** , which cover selected Dodgers games, especially in the postseason and national windows.
  • Other services (Hulu + Live TV, Sling, YouTube TV, Fubo)
    • These services can carry the national channels (ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS) that sometimes show Dodgers games.
* However, not all of them have **Spectrum SportsNet LA** , so they may not show most local, everyday Dodgers broadcasts in LA. For example, some guides specifically note that **Fubo does not carry Spectrum SportsNet LA**.

National and special broadcasts

  • FOX / FS1 / ESPN / TBS
    • Select regular-season games, Sunday night matchups, and much of the postseason run are broadcast nationally on these channels.
* Those games are usually available everywhere in the U.S., regardless of market, via cable or any live TV streaming plan that includes the channel.
  • MLB.TV and blackout notes
    • MLB.TV is great if you are not in the Dodgers’ home territory, giving you every out-of-market game with additional features like multiple game views and archived games.
* If you live in Southern California within the team’s local territory, Dodgers games will typically be **blacked out** on MLB.TV and you will need Spectrum SportsNet LA (via cable or a streaming partner) or a national broadcast to watch live.

Quick Q&A style “Dodgers where to watch”

  • “I live in LA, what do I need?”
    • A package that includes Spectrum SportsNet LA (for example, certain DIRECTV STREAM plans or Spectrum cable), plus access to FOX/FS1/ESPN for national games.
  • “I’m out of state, just want the Dodgers all season.”
    • MLB.TV is the main solution, often available either directly or through services like Prime Video Channels , as long as you are outside the blackout zone.
  • “I don’t want full cable, just streaming.”
    • In-market: look for streaming packages that specifically list Spectrum SportsNet LA or a standalone access option for that channel.
* Out-of-market: a standalone **MLB.TV** subscription is usually sufficient for regular-season games.
