Don’t Miss a Single Baltimore Orioles Game by Using These Streaming Services

2024 MLB Regular Season under way. Stream it live with Fubo.

The Orioles were the Number 1 seed in the 2023 American League. But then along came the Texas Rangers who took them out in three games. Their 2024 season starts on March 28th.

In a hurry? Fans far from Baltimore can watch most games by signing up for MLB.TV. Local fans need MASN, which is available from Fubo for $94.98/month and DIRECTV STREAM for $114.99/month.

The Baltimore Orioles have been in existence since 1901 when they were known as the Milwaukee Brewers (the current Brewers didn’t come into existence until 1970).

Since 1992, they have played their home games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The team’s current owner is Peter Angelos, who bought the franchise for $173 million in 1993. However, the Angelos family led by John Angelos are in negotiations to sell the Orioles to a group led by Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein, a Baltimore native, for $1.725 billion.

Let’s take a look at some more information about this franchise as well as how you can follow the team on television without the need for a cable subscription.

Baltimore Orioles TV Channels

All MLB teams have their games spread out over regional, national, and (increasingly) streaming-only channels.

National Channels

Throughout the season, select MLB games will be showcased on a variety of national networks such as ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, Fox, and Fox Sports 1 (FS1). Many games will also be featured on MLB Network. These channels will also cover the playoffs.

MASN

The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) is a regional sports network (RSN). It is a joint venture between the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals. It is the best way to watch the Orioles since it airs most of their games.

Note, however, that you must live in the Orioles’ blackout region to get it. This includes Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and parts of North Carolina and West Virginia.

In addition to baseball, it broadcasts Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) games as well as other compelling content. Because of times when two events occur at the same time, MASN provides the subchannel, MASN2, which is often used to broadcast Washington Nationals games.

Ultimate Guide: How to Live Stream the Baltimore Orioles Without Cable

There are lots of ways to watch Orioles live. But it depends upon where you live.

Antenna

An antenna allows you to watch games that are broadcast over the air by major networks such as ABC or Fox without the need to obtain a cable package. This is relatively limited — at least for the regular season. However, it is free.

To learn how to set up and use one, see our HD antenna guide.

Stream the Baltimore Orioles Today: A Step-by-Step Guide

All the channels that show MLB games are allowed through live TV streaming services. And now some games are available only through streaming services.

Live TV Streaming Services

There are two services for big Orioles fans: DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo (formerly FuboTV). That’s because it is the only one that offers MASN. But if watching virtually every game isn’t essential to you, the other services offer much.

• DIRECTV STREAM: Signing up for the Choice plan provides you with access to MASN and most national networks that MLB games might appear on. It costs $114.99/month and comes with unlimited DVR storage (as long as you sign up online) and simultaneous streaming on unlimited devices. (DIRECTV STREAM review)
• Fubo: Starting at $79.99/month, the Fubo Pro package comes with MASN along with ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, and all the local network affiliates. MLB.TV is available as an add-on. You can get MLB Network with the Fubo Extra for $7.99/mo extra. The base plan comes with unlimited cloud DVR and streaming on up to 10 devices. (Fubo review)
• Hulu + Live TV: For $82.99/month, you’ll be able to watch ESPN, FS1, and other major networks that carry MLB games live. It also includes ESPN+ and Disney+. The base plan comes with unlimited cloud DVR with 9 months of storage and streaming on up to two devices. (Hulu Live review)
• Sling TV: To get all the national channels that broadcast MLB games, you’ll need to purchase both the Sling Orange & Blue package for $55.00/month. The individual plans are $40.00/month. You can easily integrate an antenna with this package. The plans all come with 50 hours of cloud DVR. Depending on the channel, you can stream on up to 3 devices at once. (Sling TV review)
• YouTube TV: Starting at $64.99/mo, YouTube TV’s base package comes with ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, TBS, and MLB Network. It also has TBS as part of its base package and MLB.tv as an add-on option.

Specialty Streaming Services

An increasing number of MLB games are only available via streaming. But the number is still relatively small.

• Apple TV+: Will stream MLB doubleheaders on Friday nights. In addition, subscribers get access to movies, shows, and other original content starting at $9.99 per month.
• ESPN+: You can stream dozens of MLB games throughout the season in addition to games from most major professional sports. This service is available on its own for $10.99/month or for $14.99/month as part of the Hulu bundle. (ESPN+ review)
• Peacock: NBC’s streaming service gives you full access to all of its content (including live sports) for $7.99/month. A total of 18 MLB games will be shown on this service with most of the contests taking place on Sunday afternoons. (Peacock review)

MLB.TV

For $24.99/mo ($139.99/yr), you can watch live streams of most regular-season MLB games with MLB.TV. Furthermore, you’ll get access to documentaries, classic games, and other exclusive content. You can also get the single-team package for $119.99.

The catch? You can only watch out-of-market games. So this is only an option for fans who live outside the Maryland area. And note, games against the teams near you will also be blacked out.

You can, however, watch all of these games if you don’t mind waiting 90 minutes after they end.

Best Devices and Apps for Streaming Baltimore Orioles Games

Everything You Need to Know About the Baltimore Orioles

After spending a year in Milwaukee in 1901, the franchise moved to St Louis where they were known as the Browns. In 1953, the Browns were purchased by a group of investors who moved the team to Baltimore and gave them their current nickname.

During the franchise’s run in Baltimore, the Orioles have won three World Series titles, seven American League (AL) titles, and ten AL East division titles. Their last World Series and AL title wins both came in 1983 while the Orioles last won their division in 2023.

The Orioles have had many great players on their rosters throughout the past several decades. These include Brooks Robison, Mike “Moose” Mussina, and Cal Ripken Jr. All three men are enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Cal Ripken Jr is also known for playing in 2,632 consecutive games, which is a Major League Baseball (MLB) record.

In 2023, Baltimore had a fantastic regular season finishing with a 101-61 record to clinch the AL East division title for the first time since 2014. This qualified them for the Division Series where they were swept 0-3 by the fifth-seed Texas Rangers.

In particular, their pitching staff of Mike Baumann, Dean Kremer, Yennier Cano, Shintaro Fujinami, and Danny Coulombe were outstanding as they set franchise records for single-season strikeouts and most strikeouts in a 9-inning game.

Infielder Gunnar Henderson and catcher Adley Rutschman were both awarded the Silver Slugger Award. Brandon Hyde, their manager, also took home the 2023 AL Manager of the Year.

Wrapping Up

Although the Orioles are going through a bit of a rebuilding period right now, they still have a loyal fanbase that will stick with them no matter what. Local fans need to get DIRECTV STREAM. Those far away should consider MLB.TV.

Can I watch the Orioles for free?

If you have an antenna, you can watch games on Fox without the need to pay for a streaming or cable service. Furthermore, most streaming services that offer access to Orioles games offer free trials, which means that you may be able to watch a game or two without paying for it.
