The 2023 MLB season has already featured no-hitters (and a perfect game!), surprising divisional races, and even more Shohei Ohtani greatness. The Atlanta Braves entered the All-Star Break as favorites to win the World Series for the second time in three years, with the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers not far behind. Meanwhile, heavy spenders like the New York Mets and San Diego Padres face missing the postseason. Then, there’s the New York Yankees, who are on pace for their first losing season since 1992.
The 2023 MLB season features a revamped schedule, international showdowns, and intriguing rule changes. The season officially kicked off on Thursday, March 30, when Yankees star and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge crushed a home run on his first swing of the season.
Whether you’re looking to find the best way to watch the MLB using MLB.TV, or test cord-cutting services that include MLB action, you can do it all with the help of a VPN. Read on for all the ways to watch MLB games live online.
How to watch MLB.tv in 2023 with a VPN
The easiest way to watch every MLB game is with an MLB.TV subscription. MLB.TV is available globally, and ExpressVPN works seamlessly with MLB.TV to ensure you can stream the action privately and securely.
MLB.tv
Price: 25 USD/month or 95 USD/season
The MLB.tv app is the most comprehensive and affordable option for streaming the entire MLB season. By connecting to a VPN server location where games are not being broadcast, you can avoid MLB blackouts and even choose which broadcast you want to watch (from the home or visiting team). The service comes with a seven-day free trial, and also offers a monthly option. New to 2023 is the ability to stream minor-league games, including all 60 Triple-A and Double-A clubs.
MLB.TV International users can live stream the Home Run Derby, All-Star Game, and postseason without blackouts.
Note as of June 12, you can pay 45 USD for the rest of the season for a single-team plan through Prime Video channels.
To privately and securely stream MLB games live in blazing-fast HD with unlimited bandwidth:
- Get ExpressVPN.
- Download the ExpressVPN app to your smart TV, mobile phone, tablet, or other preferred streaming device.
- Connect to your preferred secure U.S. server location.
- Head to MLB.TV and sign up for the free trial.
- Batter up!
While you can watch baseball all season long by connecting to a VPN server location in a country other than your own, doing so may infringe upon your streaming service’s and ExpressVPN’s terms of use. ExpressVPN is a security and privacy tool, not intended to be used for copyright circumvention. By design, we cannot see or control what you do when connected to our VPN service, so we must insist that you respect the entertainment industry and always honor the terms of use.
How to watch 2023 MLB games without blackouts
MLB.TV is great and fantastically comprehensive, you still have to worry about blackouts. To avoid MLB blackouts, you need to connect to a secure VPN server location where games are not being aired.
If you’re in Boston, for example, and Red Sox games are being broadcast on TV, connect to a VPN server location in another city or country, and watch the MLB.tv stream privately, securely, and free from bandwidth throttling by your ISP. If a game is on the national blackouts list, connect instead through an international server in a country like the Netherlands, Japan, or the UK.
Best VPN for MLB blackout games
ExpressVPN allows you to safely and securely stream every MLB game. You can use MLB.TV and ExpressVPN on various devices, including tablets and gaming consoles.
To set up ExpressVPN on your device, follow the corresponding link below:
Note that MLB.TV will allow you to stream the All-Star Game and every playoff game through the World Series so long as you can authenticate a TV service provider.
Where to watch MLB games online without cable
With ExpressVPN, you can stream MLB games on both national broadcasters—including ESPN, TBS, FS1, and Fox—as well as regional sports networks. All national channels are available through cord-cutting services. Some platforms, such as DirecTV Stream, also carry regional sports networks like YES and NESN.
Watching on a computer? For the best streaming experience, be sure to use the ExpressVPN browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
Sling TV
Price: Varies
Sling TV includes channels that carry MLB games, such as ESPN, MLB Network, TBS, Fox, and FS1, as well as some regional sports networks.
To get all of these channels, you’ll need to get Sling Orange as well as Sling Blue (a combined package currently costs 30 USD). Use the “Sports Extra” add-on for Sling TV in order to watch MLB Network for an extra 10 USD/month. Please note that Sling no longer offers a free trial as of June 2023.
Fubo
Price: 75 USD/month
Channels: TBS, ESPN
Country: U.S.
On the downside, Fubo does not offer TBS, which airs national games on Tuesdays and select postseason games. But on the plus side, it’s one of the few cord-cutting services to offer select regional sports networks like Marquee Sports Network (Cubs), NBC Sports Bay Area (Giants), NESN (Red Sox), and Root Sports Northwest (Mariners). Note that for games on regional sports networks, the teams available to you will be determined by the home zip code on your billing account. In addition, the “Sports Plus” package that includes MLB Network costs an additional 11 USD per month. Fubo also announced that it will include MLB.TV as an add-on for 25 USD/month, though standard bloackout rules still apply. Fubo comes with a 7-day free trial.
Note: You will need a U.S. credit/debit card to subscribe. The billing address used may determine which local channels are available, and you may be unable to change your location.
DirecTV Stream
Price: 70 USD/month
DirecTV Stream is on the pricier side but if you prefer a cord-cutting service over an additional streaming app, it’s the best option as the “Choice” package (90 USD/month) includes regional sports networks like YES, NESN, and the Dodgers’ Spectrum SportsNet LA. DirecTV offers a 5-day free trial.
YouTube TV
Price: 73 USD/month and up
For comprehensive coverage across the season, YouTube TV offers channels that cover MLB games and the subscription costs 73 USD/month. However, note that YouTube TV dropped MLB Network on January 31 amid a carriage dispute. Both sides have publicly made it clear they hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible. If you don’t feel like committing to YouTube TV, use the 5-day free trial.
Want it on the big screen? Learn about all the ways to get ExpressVPN on your TV.
Amazon Prime Video
Price: 25 USD/month for the MLB.tv add-on
Amazon Prime offers MLB.tv as an add-on for 25 USD/month (on top of the regular 139 USD annual membership). There’s a 30-day free trial available. Note as of June 12, you can pay 45 USD for the rest of the season for a single-team plan through Prime Video channels.
Hulu+Live TV
Price: 70 USD/month
Hulu+Live TV offers most of the national channels broadcasting MLB except for the MLB Network and regional sports networks.
Sky Sports
Price: 22 GBP/month and up
Channels: Sky Sports
Living in the UK? Sky Sports is your best bet for catching live streams of the games. You will also need to provide a valid postal code and a UK/Ireland credit or debit card.
If you have a Sky subscription, you can stream content with Sky Go by connecting to a secure server location in the UK and then logging in to your Sky Go account.

2023 MLB rule changes
Baseball games in 2023 will look far different than they have in recent years. Here’s a full guide featuring every significant change, from rules to scheduling, that fans must know about ahead of Opening Day.
- MLB games have averaged at least three hours every year since 2012, topping out at 3:11 in 2021 before dropping to 3:06 a year ago.The pitch clock is arguably the most significant rule change, especially for those hoping to catch an entire Yankees-Red Sox game. There will be a 15-second timer between pitches with the bases empty and a 20-second clock with runners on base. Like the minors, there is a 30-second timer between batters. Pitchers who violate the timer are charged with an automatic ball, and batters who violate the timer receive an automatic strike. In the case of hitters, they must be in the box and alert to the pitcher by the 8-second mark.
- Additionally, pitchers are now limited to two “disengagements,” which refers to either stepping off or attempting to pick off a batter per plate appearance. Keep an eye on baserunners who rely more on vision than speed, such as the Yankees’ Aaron Judge.
- Speaking of hitters, you know those shifts that turned a base hit up the middle into an easy groundout to second? Those days could be on the way out, as a defense is now required to have at least four players on the infield and at least two infielders entirely on either side of second base. As with the pitch timer, violating that rule means an automatic ball for the pitcher. Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber are among those who stand to immediately benefit.
- Bases are now 18 inches square, up from 15 inches square, while home plate will remain unchanged. You’ll likely see more stolen base attempts and fewer potential collisions on the basepaths.
- As the NBA and NHL have previously done, Major League Baseball has finally adopted a balanced schedule. Gone are the days of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds playing 19 times a year. Instead, each divisional team will play 13 games against their division rivals and 64 games against teams in the same league. Each team will also play 46 interleague games—assuming, of course, that no games are canceled. Pirates fans are now guaranteed to see the Tampa Bay Rays, Kansas City Royals, and Oakland Athletics every year instead of every 3-4 years.
Watch 2023 MLB games on Apple TV+
Price: 7 USD/month (seven-day free trial)
MLB games are back on AppleTV+ for the 2023 season! You can catch Friday Night Baseball throughout the year on Apple TV+. Although the games are no longer free, AppleTV+ does offer a seven-day free trial you can take advantage of. Although blackouts do not apply, please note that the games will exclusively air on Apple TV+. For example, the YES Network will not have the April 21 matchup between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. However, you can still listen to the radio feed either via the MLB app.

FAQ for streaming baseball
Why is my MLB.TV game blacked out?
Major League Baseball’s television deal feature blackouts. For example, a New York Yankees fan living in New York cannot watch a Yankees game on MLB.TV because the game is blacked out in the market. Luckily, an ExpressVPN subscription can help you get past the blackouts and enjoy every game!
How can I watch MLB blackouts for free?
If a game is blocked out locally for you, use your ExpressVPN subscription to change to a VPN server outside of the blackout territory. For example, switch to a Chicago server if a Yankees-Red Sox game is blacked out for you in the New York area.
Can I watch MLB.tv internationally?
Absolutely! MLB.tv is available to customers all over the world for the exact same price regardless of country. Plus there’s the added bonus of no blackout games! With ExpressVPN you can always stream baseball games securely and in HD with unlimited bandwidth, just connect to one of our secure, high-speed servers before launching the MLB.tv app.
Can I stream sports on my computer?
Definitely. If you’re accessing the streaming service from a web browser, be sure to also install the ExpressVPN extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. The extension has a few features under the hood that can smooth out common streaming issues.
Can I stream sports on my phone or tablet?
Yes. ExpressVPN has apps for every major mobile device, including iOS and Android.
Does ExpressVPN come with an MLB.tv account?
No, you’ll still have to purchase a subscription or create a separate account. But, ExpressVPN ensures you can stream safely and at top speeds, without having to compromise your security or picture quality, and it works seamlessly with all the most popular streaming apps from around the world. Using a VPN for streaming ensures you watch securely in blazing-fast HD with unlimited bandwidth, free from ISP throttling (which can sometimes slow down speeds).
If you want to watch your favorite team from anywhere—even while traveling or on unsecured networks like public Wi-Fi—ExpressVPN is a great way to enhance your sports streaming experience.
How can I stream on my TV with a VPN?
In brief there are five different ways to stream sports on your TV with ExpressVPN:
-With the native app for a smart TV, Android TV device, or streaming device
-By streaming on your computer and connecting to the TV with an HDMI cable
-By mirroring or casting wirelessly to your TV or streaming device from your computer or mobile device
-By connecting to an ExpressVPN-enabled router, which allows for unlimited devices and makes it super simple to connect to different server locations simultaneously
-With MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN’s solution for devices that cannot install a VPN, such as Apple TV or gaming consoles. MediaStreamer only needs to be set up once, although it does not provide the full security benefits of a VPN. (Note that by connecting your Apple TV or gaming console to a router, you can get the best of both worlds!)
For more information on all the ways to get ExpressVPN on your big-screen TV, click below, or just contact a 24/7 Support agent for step-by-step instructions.
I connected to the VPN but my internet speed is slow
If your internet speed is slow or your streaming seems to lag, there are a few possible reasons:
-The distance of your selected VPN server location from your physical location
-Your connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
-Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your ISP
-Slow internet connection speed at your location
-Your device type and processing power
Try each of the following steps to troubleshoot:
-Download the latest version of ExpressVPN
-Connect to a different VPN server location
-Change your VPN protocol
If you try each of the above and are still experiencing issues with your streaming speed, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team 24/7 and someone will be with you in seconds.

24-HOUR LIVE CHAT SUPPORT
This doesn’t work all the time. I’m not sure if the MLB app is getting wise to VPNs but the Boston Yankee game last night was blacked out no matter what VPN location I used in the states. I finally had success with a site in Canada, however it dumped every time there was a commercial break and it required reconnecting.
Express VPN isn’t working for the mlb.tv package like this article states. It did work last year. Have you got this fixed yet? The only reason I have express vpn is for baseball and now it’s not working.
Necesito ver estos juegos

Hi Andrew,
Are you watching the games from a browser? It’s possible that your geolocation is being detected and causing the blackout. To fix this, use the ExpressVPN browser extension: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/expressvpn-browser-extension/
Hello …
Can you provide me with a streaming site that could provide Fox Sports Midwest via a Roku device?
Thanks … bud hodge
Hi Bud,
Unfortunately, we don’t know of any such sites. Please try looking on Reddit to see if there are alternate options.
If you’d like to watch Fox Sports Midwest on your Roku, please first set up ExpressVPN on your device (https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/stream-on-roku-with-virtual-router-or-router/), connect to a U.S. server locaiton that has access to Fox Sports Midwest, then launch the FOX Sports Go channel on your Roku.

I have the ExpressVPN service. Can I use ExpressVPN to sign into MLB.TV to stream blackout games and then cast to a chromecast, or will it note that my Chromecast is on a router located in a blackout area?
Hi Lee,
For the smoothest streaming experience, we do not recommend casting to a Chromecast.
tried to stream Baltimore Orioles games on IPVANISH vpn using amazon firetv. miserable failure. why would YOUR vpn be better ? and i’ve heard VPN’s have some sort of trouble with Amazon fire products (by FAR the best and most commonly used streaming devices. Obviously your vpn is not helpful to us if it doesnt work with FireTv/stick products ) what’s a roku/ an australian animal ?) thanx
Hi Gregory,
ExpressVPN is fully supported on Amazon Fire products. You can follow this guide: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/setup-amazon-fire-stick-fire-tv/ and enjoy ExpressVPN’s 30-day money-back guarantee.
Roku is a popular smart TV and streaming player company. I’m not sure if it’s also the name of a species of animal found in Australia, but I’ll keep an eye out next time I visit 🙂
Hello. Can I get around the mlb blackouts with your service. I have a mlbtv subscription and a roku with my Samsung smart tv
Hi Don,
Please get in touch with Support at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat
I am having the same issue with my appletv too (4th gen) i have my router (netscape) with expressvpn on it. MLB is still blackout through both systems.
I got this specifically for watching baseball.
Hi Jennifer,
Please get in touch with Support here: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat
I am going through all your youtube videos, and redoing everything step by step hopefully this will work.
This didn’t help. I’ve tried attaching mediastreamer, but everything else is set up through router. I don’t know how to attach this through expressvpnrouter. Any suggestions?
I got it up and working now. I had to add Media streamer to my expressvpn router. Thankyou for all the youtube videos that walked me through this.
I have my AppleTV set up with Mediastreamer and MLB does not work. I then changed my router’s L2PT settings to be out of the blackout zones, and now every game is blacked out. I’ll be honest, this was one of the big reasons for me to subscribe in the first place.
I should add that it also doesn’t work in browser, either. MLB.tv knows where I am…
Hi Timothy,
You may need to spoof your location as well. Some possible steps are here: https://www.quora.com/Can-you-fake-a-location-on-an-Apple-TV

Hi Michael,
A VPN secures your connection and let’s you enjoy baseball streams no matter where you are. Just fire up ExpressVPN, connect to a location near the tournament locale, and you’ll be all set.

MLB at bat is not working for me. I tried a GPS location spoofer in conjunction with VPNexpress and it still doesnt work. I am using device gps only, not advanced tracking.
Hi Vic,
Try not to use a GPS location spoofer with ExpressVPN. With a VPN, your IP address is already hidden and replaced by the server address you connect to. If you have further problems, please contact the Support team at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/ for further assistance.
Hi Vic, did you ever get this to work? Im having the same problem.
will this work for watching Bruins Hockey (NHL) on NESN.
Hi Bill,
ExpressVPN does not interfere with any streamimg service you choose to use. In fact, it helps you access your favorite sport streams no matter where you are.
If you have problems using ExpressVPN to watch NESN, please contact the Support team at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/ 🙂

It’s not working for the World Baseball Classic on mlb.tv only watchable in the US. I need help or a refund on my money.
Hey B,
Have you tried connecting to a server location in the U.S. before watching? Try to run your VPN first and then visit the site you’re trying to watch from. You can also contact the Support team at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/ if you need help 🙂
I think MLB has gotten wise to the VPN trick. I’m trying to stream the World Baseball Classic in the UK (where it’s blacklisted). Have used Express VPN to both DC and NY and MLB TV says,
“We’re sorry. We have determined that you are blacked out of watching the game you selected, due to television broadcaster restrictions. An archive copy of the game will be available 90 minutes after the game ends.”
Is there a solution to this, or are we stuck?
🙁
Hi Nick, try connecting to another location in the U.S. Or contact the Support Team, who might be able to help you.
Can I stream the South African cricket tour to New Zealand?
Hi Christian,
A VPN can help you stream sports no matter where you are. Simply pick a broadcaster that is showing the South African cricket tour, connect to a VPN server in that location, then you’ll be able to watch the games in New Zealand or anywhere else!
Is there any chance that I can get VPN Express to use in Spain and UK while I am away in Europe this month. We are huge baseball fans and don’t want to miss a minute. If it’s possible, can I use wifi to connect in our hotel room? Thanks for your help.
I downloaded expresa vpn changed my location and it will not let me watch it any help?
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for reading, Beven! 🙂
