The MLB Network remains one of the premiere channels for baseball fans

The MLB Network is one of the premier destinations for fans, not only for in-game action but for all of the extra coverage around everything in the baseball universe. The baseball channel offers fans exclusive access to the MLB that can't be found anywhere else.

"Some of my #MLBTonight debut on @MLBNetwork! It’s a dream come true to be on this show with someone I’ve looked up to in this business @adnansvirk. Four years ago, I was unemployed and couldn’t get a job in the business. Trust the process and never ever give up on yourself. It’s so worth the payoff" - @ArielEpstein

Among the notable events, it will cover include the MLB First-Year Player Draft, the MLB Draft Combine and the National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony. It will also have the MLB London Series, All-Star Game, World Series, and at least seven different daily studio shows, including the Emmy-winning “MLB Tonight.”

However, all of those features and exclusives could come with a hefty price tag.

The MLB Network is available on Fubo and MLB.TV, among other things, though all of the services come with a subscription cost. It costs $149.99 for a full season of MLB.TV or $24.99/month in addition to a regular subscription to Fubo.

For fans looking for a free alternative source for the MLB Network, Reddit can be a useful tool. Reddit has long been a source for fans to find streams of the game, but several of the go-to threads have since been shut down in recent times.

That being said, there are plenty of safe websites that will allow fans to catch all of the action

"Try sportssurge and look for a stream, I've had good luck getting any baseball game I want" - @HoyasAndNatsFan

Streameast is one of the best alternatives to MLB Reddit Streams. It can be accessed from a phone or computer, making it very user-friendly. There are also other sites that function similarly, including Buffstreams, Sportsurge, Bilasports, and LiveSport24.


More than 250 games will be available on the MLB Network this season

While MLB Network will offer coverage of more than 250 games this season, fans will not be able to catch every single game on the calendar. Some of the games that they currently have slated for the 2023 season are subject to local blackouts.

Hence, there is a possibility that fans will be unable to view less than the 250+ games scheduled this year.
