The 2024 season of the American Pastime will actually open in Korea this year, with a two-game series in Seoul, South Korea between the Dodgers and the Padres. All thirty teams will play on the official Opening Day in the US, March 28.

The bad news is that the majority of games are not nationally televised. You can watch your local teams on your local regional sports network (RSN), but that’s about it. But of the games that are broadcast nationally, they’ll be on MLB Network and ESPN– and Sling carries both.

Where to Watch MLB Opening Day 2024

Even this close to baseball season, the MLB remains a little cagey about exactly where the games will be televised. The best information we could find is that MLB Network will have select games throughout the day, and then ESPN (confirmed on ESPN’s website) will air the CubsRangers game in the evening.

Beyond MLB Opening Day, though, Sling also has Fox, FS1, and TBS, all of which carry ballgames throughout the 2024 MLB season. For more information, have a look at our general guide to streaming baseball.

FAQ

How can I watch every single MLB game?

Short answer: you can’t. Nationally televised games are scattered across half a dozen services and channels. Fox and FS1 have Saturday games, and a few weeknight matchups. TBS airs Tuesday night games, ESPN Sunday nights, Apple TV+ Friday nights, and Peacock Sunday afternoons. ESPN+ and MLB Network will broadcast select games daily.

What is MLB.TV?

MLB.tv is a subscription service which carries all the out-of-market games. But if you want to watch your local team’s games, you’ll need a service with regional sports networks. MLB broadcast rules require games be blacked out in their home markets.
