How to watch MLB games this week without cable: Schedule for Apple TV+, Peacock, ESPN+ and more
Let's play ball!
Baseball is still our country's pastime, but these days, watching America's national sport is a whole new ballgame — and not just because of the rule changes in the 2023 MLB season. With games split among cable, streaming and regional sports networks, plus local restrictions and blackouts added into the mix, keeping up with your favorite team can be hit or miss unless you’re willing to shell out for a pricey cable package (and even then, you might get hit with blackouts).
But don’t worry, we’re stepping up to the plate. Here’s every MLB game you can stream this week without paying for cable, your local RSN or MLB Network, including Tuesday night baseball games on TBS, Friday Night Baseball and Sunday Night Baseball.
- Watch MLB games on TBS, ESPN, ESPN+, Fox and more
Hulu + Live TV
- Watch 'Friday Night Baseball'
Apple TV+
- Watch MLB games on TBS and ESPN

This week is jam-packed with games you can watch without having to find your regional sports network or paying for a pricey baseball package.
