The MLB 2023 season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting seasons ever. With 30 major league teams, dozens of minor league teams and thousands of games to keep track of throughout the season, it can be hard to figure out where to find the game you want to watch and how to watch it. From local market games to Friday Night Baseball, there are lots of places to catch MLB games.
We've put together a guide with all of the information you'll need to find the games you want to watch this season.
How to watch MLB 2023 in the US
Watch MLB 2023 on TV
Major League Baseball has TV deals with several networks, so it can take some searching to find the game you're looking for. Generally speaking, if you're looking to watch the team in your home city then you'll need to consult local listings to see where it's on.
If you're looking for nationally broadcast games, or out-of-market games, you might find them on Fox, TBS, ESPN or MLB Network. Fox is available without a cable TV subscription, but you'll need a cable package to watch TBS, ESPN and MLB Network.
If you've cut the cord, Fox and ESPN are included in the channel lineups of FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. TBS is available on Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV, while MLB Network is available (included or as an add-on channel) with FuboTV and Sling TV.
