How to Stream YES Network on Roku and Fire TV
YES Network is a regional sports network that used to be pretty common among live TV streaming services.
Now, DIRECTV STREAM is the only option for watching New York Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, New York City FC, or New York Liberty games without a cable or satellite provider.
It does cost more than competing subscription services that live stream ESPN or Big Ten Network.
The Choice plan, which carries 90+ channels, is $89.99 per month. YES Network is available throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and parts of Pennsylvania.
DIRECTV STREAM still has one advantage over paying for DIRECTV, Cox or Spectrum.
When you sign up for a 5-day free trial, you can subscribe month to month and cancel whenever you want.
So if you’re looking to cut the cord, but still watch NBA or MLB games, you should consider whether the pros of streaming YES Network without cable TV outweigh its cons.
Subscribers to DIRECTV STREAM can get three months of HBO Max, Cinemax, Showtime and EPIX for free before the regular monthly rate kicks in.
The Choice bundle has a wide variety of regional sports channels including MSG, MSG+, SNY, ESPN, ESPN2, NBC Sports and ACC Network.
All of your local ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Telemundo and Univision channels are included. And you get top cable TV channels such as ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, History, CNN and A&E.
There are no additional regional sports fees. And you don’t need to pay for a cable box.
DIRECTV STREAM works with Roku, Amazon Fire TV, iPhones, web browsers, tablets and Samsung Smart TVs.
You can look over the different channel lineups before deciding whether to sign up.

I have Amazon fire tv and I have been trying to watch the Yankee’s game for two weeks but MLB channel doesn’t cover it I live in Delaware why can’t I get it on regular tv. I don’t want to pay for it when the season is almost over
I am a die hard Yankees fan that lives in Missouri, signed with MLB and Yes channel but I have a bunch of blackout it made not sense and they have a lot of games on the YES app is near impossible to follow unless you pay more , any suggestions please
Do you use a VPN?? If so and you have it set to New York try changing the city to Chicago and this should eliminate your blackout problem. If you do not use a VPN then I do not know the answer. I hope this helps.
It’s so despairing. I only want baseball and news and local channels. I shouldn’t have to subsidize so called premier channels and Hallmark channels. I am angry about this. For households with only 1 or 2 people it shouldn’t cost this much to watch The Yankees if you live in NYC. It is exceptionally greedy.
I was told today by AT&T that the only way to get YES Network with AT&T TV is to get the Premier package, which is $129.99 / month.
$25, pffft. Isn’t MLB struggling enough for fans & viewership? Good luck.
if you get MLB at bat and are a student or ex military you can subscribe to a $75.00 per year rate and that gets you most Yes network Yankee TV and Radio broadcasts . You also can get most other team broadcasts home and away. Comes to about $7.50 per month. Non student is about $100.00 per year. Best MLB baseball deal out there bar none!!!
You can get just the single team plan with student discount for about 50 or 60 I think
Not if you are in a blackout area an d they are far reaching,
Still haven’t found a place in Delaware, where I get the full channel of YES. I do get it now with Verizon, but I’ve had to pay an extra $50 just to get this channel, along with other channels, but my YES channel blackouts all of the games.
Playstation definitely DOES NOT have the YES network.
It depends on where you live. Keep in mind, YES Network is a regional network. Also with Vue in particular, you should double check that it has your correct zip code listed. When I had Vue, sometimes it would switch zip codes on its own, and carve out local channels that should be included in your subscription.
But if you get sling for the whole baseball season, it isn’t cheaper. 6 months of baseball would be more than the baseball package for all teams. Now, you definitely get more for your money with sling for six months, but if you’re just trying to watch the Yankees play all games I feel like the better option would be the baseball package.
We had Sling last year exclusively for the YES Network. Cancelled last fall and restarted it a few weeks ago. No YES Network on either my Roku or my AppleTV. Multiple calls to customer service. They agree I should have YES per my zip code and IP address. They have been unable to fix the issue and refuse to refund my money. I would stay away from Sling if all you are wanting it for is YES.
