where to watch dodger game
Most Los Angeles Dodgers games are shown on the regional sports network Spectrum SportsNet LA in the local LA market, with some games airing nationally on channels like Fox, FS1, ESPN, TBS, and occasionally Apple TV+ or other MLB national partners. If youâre outside the LA market, outâofâmarket packages like MLB.TV (including via Prime Video Channels) are usually the primary way to watch every Dodgers game live without blackouts (regular season), while live TV streaming services that carry national sports channels will get you most nationally televised matchups.
Main ways to watch
- Spectrum SportsNet LA carries the bulk of regularâseason Dodgers games for local viewers in Southern California via cable and some streaming options. This is typically the goâto if you live in the LA TV territory and want nearly every game.
- National TV partners (Fox, FS1, ESPN, TBS, sometimes Apple TV+) show select Dodgers games across the country, especially on Sunday, midweek primetime, and playoff slots. These do not have the same local blackout issues and are available via most cable and live TV streaming services.
Streaming without cable
- Live TV streaming services that often carry Dodgers broadcasts include options with Spectrum SportsNet LA (inâmarket) or at least the national sports channels (out of market), such as DIRECTV STREAM âChoiceâ and similar packages. These typically bundle ESPN, Fox, FS1, TBS, and regional sports networks in one plan.
- MLB.TV is aimed at fans outside the Dodgersâ home market, letting you stream all outâofâmarket regularâseason games, often with teamâspecific feeds and extras. It generally does not lift local blackouts, so if youâre in LA, you still need a provider that carries Spectrum SportsNet LA.
Picking the right option
- If you live in the LA area and just want every regularâseason game, a package that includes Spectrum SportsNet LA (through cable or a compatible streaming bundle) is usually the most complete solution.
- If you live outside the LA market, combining MLB.TV with a live TV streaming service (or antenna/cable) that gets Fox, FS1, ESPN, and TBS will cover nearly all Dodgers games plus national marquee matchups and playoffs.
