ESPN has taken over the distribution of MLB.TV in a deal that will allow fans to buy MLB.TV on ESPN and strengthen ESPN’s streaming presence.
As the new streaming home of MLB.TV, subscribers to MLB.TV will be able to watch thousands of out-of-market live games each season to the ESPN App and ESPN.com.
“ESPN and MLB have a partnership rooted in decades of delivering marquee baseball moments to fans,” said Rosalyn Durant, executive vice president, ESPN Programming & Acquisitions. “With MLB.TV now available through ESPN, we’re taking a significant step forward in reinforcing ESPN as the home of the MLB regular season while deepening the value proposition of the ESPN Unlimited plan – giving fans even more flexibility in how and where they watch all season long.”
Starting Feb. 10, fans can purchase MLB.TV through ESPN platforms in a variety of packages, including:
- Current ESPN Unlimited plan subscribers can purchase MLB.TV for $134.99 for the 2026 season, renewing seasonally at the then-current price.
- Fans without an ESPN Unlimited plan can purchase MLB.TV for $149.99 seasonally, with a free month of ESPN Unlimited included.*
- Monthly subscription options are also available for $29.99, with new subscribers eligible for a free month of ESPN Unlimited.*
- Existing MLB.TV subscribers who auto-renew their subscription through MLB platforms – and are not currently subscribed to ESPN Unlimited – will receive a one-month free trial offer for ESPN Unlimited.*
- At the start of the season, fans subscribed to MLB.TV in the U.S. – whether purchased through ESPN or previously through MLB – will be able to watch the MLB.TV out-of-market games, MLB Big Inning, and MLB Network on both ESPN and MLB digital platforms, ensuring fans have choice and flexibility throughout the season.
At the start of the season, MLB.TV games will be discoverable across most ESPN connected TV and mobile experiences, with fans also able to take advantage of ESPN App features including multiview, integrated stats, key plays and catch up to live, fantasy and betting information, and home/away feed selection.
