For Diamondbacks fans in Arizona

Bally Sports Arizona is broadcast across Arizona, as well as New Mexico, parts of Utah, and Southern Nevada. If you live in one of these territories, you can watch the Diamondbacks on DirecTV Stream “Choice.”

DirecTV Stream “Choice” gets you Bally Sports Arizona, which means you can live stream these teams:

  • Phoenix Suns regular season games
  • Phoenix Coyotes regular season games
  • Arizona Diamondbacks regular season games
  • Phoenix Rising FC regular season games
  • Arizona Cardinals commentary (not games)

Although you can’t watch Arizona Cardinals games on Bally Sports Arizona, you can live stream the Cardinals on FOX 10 Phoenix on DirecTV Stream.

With the exception of the streaming exclusive MLB games, which require separate apps, DirecTV Stream “Choice” carries ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, and MLB Network for watching the Diamondbacks baseball when they are on national TV.


If you live outside of Arizona

Outside of Arizona, New Mexico, parts of Utah, and Southern Nevada, MLB fans will be considered out-of-market for the Diamondbacks and won’t have access to Bally Sports Arizona. For these fans, the best bet is to purchase an MLB.TV package.

MLB.TV – watch every Diamondbacks game

MLB.TV is the premium out-of-market option for MLB fans. With MLB.TV fans can circumvent the regional broadcast rules and watch any game they like, including Diamondbacks games. If you want to follow just one team all summer, the rate drops to a one time annual fee of $109.99.


ESPN+ – watch out-of-market baseball

ESPN+ plays one out-of-market MLB game every day during the regular season. You can’t follow the Diamondbacks season this way, but you can watch a fun lineup of out-of-market baseball games, which will sometimes include the Diamondbacks.

Watching Diamondbacks live FAQ

Can I watch the Diamondbacks on fuboTV?

Yes, you can watch in-market Diamondbacks games on fuboTV. New for 2023, fuboTV will carry Bally Sports regional sports networks, including Bally Sports Arizona for watching the Diamondbacks.
