Written by Streaming Stadium

Last updated on

New for 2023, fuboTV will carry the Bally Sports regional sports networks, making the platform a great option for watching several MLB teams. However, you can’t watch the Yankees or Dodgers on fuboTV, and because fuboTV doesn’t carry TBS, MLB fans can’t currently stream Tuesday Night Baseball or the NL Playoffs on fuboTV.

fuboTV is a great choice for live streaming baseball if you want to watch the following MLB teams in-market:

Read our fuboTV review for sports fans.

Why doesn’t fuboTV carry my MLB team?

Carriage fees.

fuboTV, like every other live TV streaming provider other than DIRECTV STREAM, hasn’t reached terms with Sinclair Broadcasting, which is the media company that owns the Bally Sports RSNs, over the cost of carrying the local sports channels.

Despite adding Bally Sports RSNs, you still can’t watch the YES Network or Spectrum Sportsnet LA for Yankees and Dodgers games on fuboTV.

Can I watch ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball on fuboTV?

Yes, you can watch ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball on fuboTV.

fuboTV carries ESPN and ESPN2 in the base package, plus 1,000 hours of DVR storage.

Can I watch the MLB playoffs on fuboTV?

In part, but fuboTV doesn’t offer full coverage of the MLB playoffs because the platform has yet to reach terms with Turner Media, which owns TBS and TNT.

While you can watch the Wild Card rounds on ESPN, the AL Playoffs on FS1, and the World Series on FOX on fuboTV, you can’t watch much of the NL playoffs because TBS has the TV rights.

Can I watch MLB.TV on Fubo?

Yes, Fubo added MLB.TV in 2023 as an add-on, likely as an insurance policy if the rug gets pulled on the Bally Sports RSNs.

My team isn’t on fuboTV, what is the best alternative?

DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” (Sign up for DIRECTV STREAM) is the best option for local MLB fans who can’t watch their favorite team on fuboTV. DIRECTV STREAM’s “Choice” plan carries both YES Network and Spectrum Sportsnet LA.

DIRECTV STREAM carries the channels you need to live stream all of the AL and NL playoffs.

fuboTV vs. DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” MLB Channel Comparison

When your MLB team is in a market that is covered by a fuboTV subscription, we generally recommend fuboTV over DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” based on cost and user experience. Note that you have to upgrade to fuboTV “Sports Lite” in order to get MLB Network.
