How to watch MLB Opening Day without cable\"Image<\/a>\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

An MLB.TV subscription is a great way to catch all your favorite teams’ out-of-market games live.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New MLB.TV subscriptions are available through the ESPN App<\/a>. New subscribers who purchase MLB.TV must do so through the ESPN App and are required to sign up for a 1-month free trial of ESPN Unlimited in order to sign up for MLB.TV. After 1 month, ESPN auto-renews at $29.99\/month, or you can cancel the trial at any time. ESPN is not required to maintain an MLB.TV subscription.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Existing ESPN Unlimited subscribers have the opportunity to add an MLB.TV subscription in 2026 for $134.99 per season, down from $149.99. Monthly subscription options are also available for $29.99, with new subscribers eligible for a free month of ESPN Unlimited.<\/p>\n

But there is another way to get MLB.TV without ESPN \u2014 and get it free to boot if you use T-Mobile. Eligible T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, 5G Home Internet, Fiber and Small Business customers can score a free MLB.TV<\/a> subscription! You need to redeem the offer in the T Life app<\/a> between March 24 and 30.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Select MLB games stream on Peacock \u2014 including Opening Day’s Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While a regular Peacock subscription begins at $10.99 for a Premium Plan and goes up to $16.99 for the ad-free Premium Plus plan, you can get an ad-supported subscription for free if you’re a Walmart+ subscriber.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walmart+ members actually get their choice between Paramount+ or Peacock included in their membership at no additional cost. A monthly Walmart+ subscription costs $12.99, and an annual plan usually costs $98. But you can try out the service totally free.

Apple TV offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, or if you’ve recently bought an eligible Apple device, you can get up to three months of the streaming service for free. After that, the subscription will run you $12.99\/month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
