There are a number of ways to watch Baltimore Orioles games live without a cable TV or satellite package during the 2023 season.
But watching home games without cable requires a subscription to a live TV streaming service that carries the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN).
Nationally televised games during the regular season in 2023 are on FOX, ESPN, FS1, TBS and MLB Network. A few post-season games air on ABC.
How to watch Baltimore Orioles Games Live
The Baltimore Orioles broadcast most of their regular-season games at home on MASN. The regional sports network has exclusive rights to in-market Baltimore Orioles games.
MASN is only carried by one streaming service, DIRECTV STREAM.
Where can I watch MASN?
MASN is available to pay-TV subscribers in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area.
The network is generally available in Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, eastern and central North Carolina, south central Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
DIRECTV STREAM has a 5-day free trial. You can watch every home game this season on DIRECTV STREAM if you live in the broadcast area of MASN. National broadcast games are on ESPN, FOX, FS1, and TNT.
