ESPN+ MLB Schedule for 2024

Published on: March 26, 2024

ESPN+ Baseball Game of the Day kicks off with a National League clash. The Atlanta Braves will face the Philadelphia Phillies on Opening Day at 3 p.m. ET.

What MLB games are on ESPN+?

ESPN+ will stream one regular season MLB game each day during the 2024 season. You can expect to see one to two MLB games daily on ESPN+ throughout the year.

In years past, ESPN+ has featured each MLB team at least 10 times during the regular season. Unlike Apple TV+ and Peacock, which show MLB games weekly, ESPN+ offers daily matchups.

ESPN+ MLB games have local blackout restrictions. However, fans can still stream other MLB games if they cut the cable. Despite these local blackout rules, ESPN+ Game of the Day remains a bargain for fans who want to watch out-of-market MLB games.

An ESPN+ subscription is priced at $10.99 per month. It can be bundled with Hulu, Hulu Live TV, or the Disney Bundle.

How to Stream MLB Games on ESPN Plus

To stream MLB games on ESPN Plus, you can use a Smart TV, Fire TV Stick, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast and even a PC.

I recommend having a solid internet connection and Wi-Fi router for the best streaming experience.

After signing up for ESPN+ online, activate your account in the ESPN app to start watching on your TV. Hulu users can add ESPN+ for $10.99 per month when they sign up. Hulu’s on-demand service has a 30-day free trial, but ESPN Plus is not included in the trial.

If you sign up for Hulu Live TV, an ESPN+ subscription is included along with Disney+. Once you activate your ESPN Plus account, you can start watching other live sporting events such as NHL games, the PGA Tour, soccer and UFC fights.

Does ESPN Plus have in-market MLB Games?

You won’t be able to rely on ESPN Plus for in-market games. For local games, you still need Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) to watch your MLB team. So, New York Yankees fans need YES Network, and Boston Red Sox fans will need NESN. 

To watch without cable, you can use a live TV service with RSNs for local sports coverage. DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo carry the most RSNs, including Bally Sports, NBC Sports, NESN and ROOT Sports. These two services also carry key cable TV and broadcast networks for the MLB season, including ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS and MLB Network.

To watch out-of-market MLB games, you can subscribe to ESPN Plus.
