ESPN+ Baseball Game of the Day began streaming one game per day on April 7 for the 2022 season.
The month of May starts off with a series that pits the Miami Marlins against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Memorial Day will bring the Oakland Athletics home to RingCentral Coliseum to face the Texas Rangers.
A subscription to ESPN+ costs $6.99 per month.
Apple TV+ and Peacock now offer weekly MLB games. But only ESPN+ has daily games that are part of the national broadcast schedule.
MLB games on ESPN+ are subject to local blackout restrictions. But cord-cutters have a number of other options to watch in-market MLB games without cable. I’ll expand on that below.

What MLB games are on ESPN+?
You will find one MLB game per day on ESPN+ during the 2022 season. ESPN+ will stream each MLB team at least 10 times.
These out-of-market games are part of the national broadcast schedule.
Is live baseball on ESPN Plus?
Yes. ESPN+ live streams each MLB game within the ESPN app. A replay of these games are available for viewing once the live game is completed.
You can check out the upcoming lineup of MLB games.
In-market MLB games
Regional sports channels are usually the most important ones to have for in-market MLB games.
This year is no different. So you will want a live TV service that carries your local regional sports network in-market coverage.
There are ways to watch in-market games without cable on NESN, MSG, MASN, Marquee Sports Network, Spectrum SportsNet LA, SportsNet NY, ROOT Sports and YES Network.
Regional Bally Sports networks are on DIRECTV STREAM. And you can stream regional sports networks from NBC Sports and AT&T SportsNet.
How to Watch MLB on ESPN Plus
If you have a Smart TV, Fire TV Stick or Roku, then you pretty much have what you need to start streaming MLB games.
I also recommend a decent Internet connection, and setting up your own Wi-Fi router for better coverage.
- Once you sign up for ESPN+ online, you can activate your subscription through the ESPN app and start watching from there.
- Hulu subscribers have the option to add on ESPN+ for an additional $6.99 per month. Both services will be within the Hulu app.
- If you sign up for Hulu + Live TV, then an ESPN+ subscription is included
- There are a number of live TV options to watch ESPN without cable, some of which include regional sports networks.
After you sign up for ESPN+ and activate your account within the ESPN app, you can start watching other live sporting events. There is live coverage of NHL games, the PGA Tour, soccer and UFC fights.
