Best Ways to Stream 2026 MLB Spring Training Games

From MLB.TV to team-specific services, fans have more options than ever to watch preseason baseball action.

Published on Mar. 1, 2026

Major League Baseball's Spring Training games run from February 20 through late March each year, giving fans a first taste of live baseball action before Opening Day. In 2026, teams in Florida (Grapefruit League) and Arizona (Cactus League) will host hundreds of exhibition games featuring both established stars and top prospects. While fewer spring games are televised than regular-season contests, there are more streaming and broadcast options than ever — from MLB's own services to team-specific platforms and national networks.

Why it matters

With the rise of streaming, baseball fans now have more ways than ever to watch their favorite teams during the Spring Training season. This provides greater accessibility and flexibility for fans to follow the preseason action, whether they're local or out-of-market supporters.

The details

MLB.TV continues to be the most comprehensive way to stream Spring Training online, with out-of-market games generally available though not guaranteed. Subscriptions typically cost around $149.99 for the full season. Many individual MLB clubs also offer team-branded streaming channels that include Spring Training coverage, often for free or at a lower cost. Several Spring Training games are also available through traditional television networks or cable, including MLB Network's '30 Clubs, 30 Camps' series and regional sports networks (RSNs) that broadcast games for their local markets. For those on a budget or with limited data, team radio broadcasts offer a audio-only option to follow the action.
