If there's one thing that all MLB fans can agree on, it's that it isn't always easy to watch your favorite team. 

But with 28 teams slated to open their 2024 seasons on Thursday, it's worth remembering that MLB.tv may be your best option. The league's primary streaming service provides every game outside of your local market during the regular season. 

And on the eve of what seems primed to be a compelling MLB season, watching the games is as important as ever. 

Here is everything you need to know about MLB.tv and how to watch your team on the platform. 

How much does MLB.tv cost?

MLB.tv offers a couple of different subscription services. 

Users can pay a one-time fee of $149.99 to watch all out-of-market games during the 2024 season. They can also opt for a monthly plan, costing $29.99 per month. 

Or, if fans would rather buy a subscription just to watch a specific team, they can do so for $129.99. But, blackout restrictions still apply, so the specific team must be out of market. 

MLB.tv is available via Fubo in the United States and Canada

How to watch out-of-market games on MLB.tv

Users must first log in to their MLB.tv account, after which they will be brought to a screen that features all of that day's games. The games offer both home and away broadcasts, and can be watched live or recorded, giving users plenty of options and flexibility. 

Can you watch local games on MLB.tv?
