Baseball fans have a fresh reason to jump into the ongoing 2026 MLB season. ESPN has lowered the price of MLB.TV season packages, giving subscribers a cheaper way to watch the rest of the 2026 MLB season live and on demand. The seasonal plan now costs $139.99 for new subscribers and $124.99 for current ESPN Unlimited subscribers. Before this change, those prices were $149.99 and $134.99, respectively. The seasonal subscriptions will renew each season at the then-current full retail price.
What MLB.TV Gives You
MLB.TV is still one of the best options for out-of-market baseball fans. The service includes: live out-of-market regular-season games, both home and away feeds, MLB Network access in the U.S., on-demand and archived games, and MLB Big Inning. The package also includes live audio for all MLB teams, while MLB.TV on ESPN can also be watched in either the MLB or ESPN app.
Beyond streams for live games, you are getting a full baseball package built for daily watching, catching up, and flipping around the league. With the purchase of MLB.TV through ESPN, a free one-month trial of ESPN Unlimited is included for eligible new purchasers.
Why the New Price Makes Sense Right Now
ESPN’s new MLB.TV pricing gives baseball fans a better entry point for the rest of the season. As the schedule heats up, ESPN Unlimited subscribers can stream the MLB Game of the Day each day during the season. Plus, if your team is still in the thick of the race, MLB.TV gives you a clean way to follow games that are not available in your local market. New MLB.TV buyers do not need to keep ESPN Unlimited after the free trial to maintain their MLB.TV subscription, which makes the package easier to justify for baseball-first viewers.
The package packs in a lot for die-hard fans who do not want to miss the action. If you have been waiting for a better price to jump in, this is a good time to take a swing.
