Stream Los Angeles Angels Games Live in 2024 Without Cable

Published on: April 12, 2024

Watching Los Angeles Angels games live in 2024 doesn’t require a cable TV or satellite package. 

If you’re in the home market of Bally Sports West, you can stream every game that is played at Angel Stadium. Fans outside the local area might look at MLB.TV, or more affordable options like Apple TV+ and ESPN+. Keep in mind, these less expensive services might have some restrictions.

Nationally televised Angels games are on networks like FOX, ESPN, FS1, TBS, and MLB Network throughout the regular season. Some playoff games will also be broadcast on ABC.

This guide details how to watch Angels baseball live, including a free method using a TV antenna.

Los Angeles Angels home games are exclusively on Bally Sports West—previously FOX Sports West. 

You can stream these games with DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo if you’re in the Southern California area, Las Vegas Valley, or Hawaii. Both services offer a free trial, allowing you to watch every home game this season.
