where to watch los angeles angels vs houston astros
You can watch Los Angeles Angels vs. Houston Astros on a mix of national TV, regional sports networks, and streaming services, depending on the specific game date and your location.
Key ways to watch
- National broadcasts (no local RSN needed)
Some AngelsâAstros games are picked up for national TV, typically on ESPN, FS1, Apple TV, or Peacock.
* Example for Opening Day 2026: one AngelsâAstros matchup is listed on a national feed (Duel/Space Cityâtype regional plus MLB.TV) with streaming via Fubo.
* When a game is âexclusive nationalâ (like many Apple TV or Peacock games), it will not appear on the usual regional networks.
- Houston Astros viewers (Astros territory)
- Primary channel: Space City Home Network (regional TV home of the Astros).
* Streaming option: **SCHN+ app** , which carries the same Astros broadcasts without needing a cable or satellite subscription (but you must be in the Astros TV territory).
* Many games are also available through liveâTV streaming bundles (e.g., services that carry Space City Home Network or offer Fubo trials, subject to regional availability).
- Los Angeles Angels viewers (Angels territory)
- Regional TV: FanDuel Sports Network West (channels like DirecTV 692, Spectrum 320, Cox 64 in Orange County) for standard Angels telecasts.
* Direct streaming: **Angels.TV** (MLBâs DTC service for Angels), which lets inâmarket fans stream regularâseason Angels games with no local blackouts, aside from national exclusives.
* Angels.TV can be accessed via the MLB app for inâmarket streaming in 2026.
- Outâofâmarket fans (not in Astros or Angels home territories)
- MLB.TV All Teams or singleâteam packages will carry most AngelsâAstros games, as long as you are outside both clubsâ blackout regions.
* A liveâTV streaming bundle like Fubo can also work if it carries the relevant national network (ESPN, FS1, etc.) that has picked up that specific game.
- One recent concrete example (March 26, 2026)
- Game: Angels at Astros, Daikin Park, Opening Dayâtype matchup.
* Listed viewing info:
