Subscribers to Major League Baseball’s online streaming service, MLB.TV, will be able to access live coverage of the World Series for the first time, the North American league has announced.
MLB.TV subscribers will also be able to stream live coverage of the MLB All-Star Game on July 15 plus games shown in the Fox network’s Saturday national broadcast window.
Beginning in May, MLB.TV subscribers for the first time will have the ability to watch live regular-season games not being shown on Fox broadcast television in their respective territories. The games are subject to regional blackout rules, but not national, as before.
The accessibility to games previously blacked out to MLB.TV subscribers was negotiated as part of the new eight-year rights deal, from 2014 to 2021, between the league and Fox Sports.
