YES Network today launched its direct-to-consumer streaming service nearly 24 hours before Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. At $24.99 a month or $239.99 a year, the regional sports network broadcasts the vast majority of Yankees’ regular season games. Fans no longer have to subscribe to cable or other streaming services to watch the Yankees, it’s all accessible through their brand new streaming platform.
From now through April 30th, the service will be available for $19.99 for a monthly subscription and $199.99 a month for an annual subscription, both as an introductory price to celebrate its release.
CEO of YES Network, Jon D. Litner said: “We are pleased to introduce a direct subscription option. For more than 20 years, YES has provided fans with a best-in-class sports viewing experience. Fans continue to tune in to and engage with YES in record numbers for the most in-depth and most innovative coverage of our teams and our other award-winning programming. With this new direct-to-consumer offering we are broadening our reach by making YES available to more fans in our regional footprint than ever before.”
The launch of this new streaming service is much-needed for the Yankees and their dedicated fans, as watching the Yankees’ regular season games had become a growing problem in the cord-cutting era.
