where to watch spring training games
You can watch MLB spring training games in 2026 through a mix of MLB’s own services, national channels, team networks, and live‑TV streamers.
Main ways to watch
- MLB.TV (official streaming)
- Streams tons of out‑of‑market spring training games live and on demand.
* Schedules are posted on MLB’s spring training streaming page, showing which games are available and which channel/stream they’re on.
- MLB Network (cable / streaming)
- Airs a slate of live and tape‑delayed spring training games throughout camp.
* Available via many cable/satellite providers and most live‑TV streamers (check packages below).
- Regional sports networks (RSNs) & team channels
Many games are only on the team’s local network; examples include:
* YES Network – New York Yankees spring games.
* NESN – Boston Red Sox spring games.
* SportsNet LA – Los Angeles Dodgers spring games.
* MASN – Baltimore Orioles spring games.
* Sportsnet / SN 360 – Toronto Blue Jays spring games.
* Various team‑branded streams like **TWINS.TV, REDS.TV, PADRES.TV, Nationals.TV, Mariners.TV** for select clubs.
- Live‑TV streaming services
Several “skinny bundle” providers carry MLB Network and some RSNs so you can stream spring games without cable:
* Fubo (strong sports focus, carries many RSNs and MLB Network in some plans).
* Sling TV (often carries MLB Network and select regional channels in sports add‑ons).
* Hulu + Live TV (national sports channels plus some RSNs).
- National TV one‑offs
- ESPN and ESPN+ typically pick up a handful of marquee spring matchups each year.
* These games also show up in MLB’s official spring schedule listings.

How to decide the best option
- If you want as many games as possible:
- Get MLB.TV for broad spring training coverage plus out‑of‑market games in general.
* Pair it with a live‑TV streamer that includes MLB Network for extra games and studio coverage.
- If you mainly follow one local team:
- Find which RSN or team network your club uses for spring (YES, NESN, SportsNet LA, etc.).
* Choose a cable or streaming provider that carries that exact channel in your area.
- If you just want a few big matchups:
- Look for games on ESPN/ESPN+ and MLB Network, which usually feature marquee teams and rivalry games between late February and late March.
Timing and “latest news” angle
- The 2026 spring training window runs roughly from February 20 through late March , with daily games almost every afternoon and many evenings.
- Schedules and channel assignments can shift, so same‑day checks on MLB’s official spring training schedule or your team’s site are the safest way to confirm where to watch.
