Dodgers Fans Need Spectrum SportsNet LA to Watch All the Games

I exclusively watch the World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Spectrum SportsNet LA.

In a hurry? The only one way to get Spectrum SportsNet LA without cable or satellite is to subscribe to the DIRECTV STREAM Choice package. It costs $114.99/month but comes with 125+ channels including other RSNs in southern California. A 5-day free trial is now available for DIRECTV STREAM.

How to Stream Spectrum SportsNet LA With DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM is the lone streaming service that offers Spectrum SportsNet LA to those in its broadcast area.

It includes roughly 100 other channels, including an extensive selection of other Los Angeles regional sports networks, too, like:

• Spectrum SportsNet (Lakers and Sparks),
• Bally Sports West (Angels and Kings), and
• Bally Sports SoCal (Clippers and Ducks).

Get DIRECTV STREAM Free Trial

To get Spectrum SportsNet LA, you must get DIRECTV STREAM’s Choice plan ($114.99/month). This plan comes with ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, TBS, and MLB Network so you can watch the small number of Dodgers games that don’t air on Spectrum SportsNet LA.

See our DIRECTV STREAM review for all the details.

MLB.TV Is For Out-of-Market Dodgers Fans

All the options listed above will also work for fans outside the Dodgers broadcast area, with one additional option: MLB.TV.

MLB.TV is the league’s out-of-market streaming service. With it, you can watch every game except those featuring your local team. The cost is a bit higher than other options at $24.99 monthly, but it carries most of the Dodger’s regular season games.

To get a better deal, you can purchase MLB.TV annually for all teams $149.99 or for $129.99 for just one team.

If you want more sports, you can get MLB.TV with Fubo as an add-on. Fubo provides all the live TV channels you need plus all the Dodgers out-of-market games. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.

Are There Other Ways to Watch the Dodgers?

If you want to stick with cable or satellite, Spectrum SportsNet LA is available through Spectrum, AT&T TV, DIRECTV, and U-verse TV.

Other options include:

• National channels: Some Dodgers games are simulcast on national channels like Fox alongside Spectrum SportsNet LA.
• Radio: You can listen to the Dodgers on AM 570 LA Sports or a local radio station affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers Radio Network.

More Streaming Details

DIRECTV STREAM comes with unlimited cloud DVR storage and supports most streaming devices and smart TVs.

Spanish Language Broadcasts

SportsNet LA and radio stations support Spanish-language commentary during regular-season broadcasts.

Our Choice

If you don’t want to pay for cable but want to watch the Dodgers in Southern California, you need to get DIRECTV STREAM‘s Choice plan ($114.99/month), which comes with Spectrum SportsNet LA.

New customers get a 5-day free trial with DIRECTV STREAM.

FAQs

Can I get Spectrum SportsNet LA directly?

No. Spectrum Sports offers a direct-to-consumer streaming service called Spectrum SportsNet+. However, it doesn’t provide Dodgers programming from Spectrum SportsNet LA. If you are interested in the Los Angeles Lakers, you may want to look into it. Currently, DIRECTV STREAM is your only options for Spectrum SportsNet LA.

What Shows are on Spectrum SportsNet LA?

In addition to live games, Spectrum SportsNet LA broadcasts a number of Dodger-oriented shows. These include:

• Access SportsNet: Dodgers: Pregame and postgame show accompanying every live Dodgers game.
• Backstage: Dodgers: Weekly show that focuses on the Dodgers outside their games.

What is Time Warner Cable SportsNet LA?

The Spectrum SportsNet LA started in 2014 as Time Warner Cable SportsNet LA. It was a joint venture between Time Warner Cable and the Dodgers (through its parent company Guggenheim Partners). After Charter Communications acquired Time Warner Cable, the name was changed to Spectrum SportsNet LA.

Does Spectrum SportsNet LA broadcast LA Galaxy matches?

Spectrum SportsNet LA has never broadcast LA Galaxy matches. Through 2022, the team was featured on sister station Spectrum SportsNet. But starting in 2023, the LA Galaxy (and all other teams) are available through MLS Season Pass. It provides access to all matches regardless of where you are for $14.99/mo.
