The first day of Spring is March 19th, but not according to the MLB. Spring Training starts February 22th. And Sling TV allows you to watch all the action with multiple full games all the way to Opening Day. Read on for all the details!
In a hurry? Sling TV is by far the most economical way to watch Spring Training. Just sign up for its Blue or Orange plan ($40.00/mo) and add the Sports Extra plan for $11/mo and you are set. Save 50% on Sling TV now!

As everyone knows, Major League Baseball teams play a lot of games. And that is as true of Spring Training as it is of the regular season. Over roughly a month, a few hundred games are played.
Of course, they aren’t all broadcast. And many are available only through expensive options like MLB.tv and various regional sports networks (RSNs) like SportsNet and Bally Sports channels. But MLB Network features many games each day of Spring Training.
How to Stream Spring Training on Sling TV
Sling TV is a live TV streaming service that is most notable for being highly customizable. But it also happens to be the cheapest way to watch 2024 Spring Training games. They appear on MLB Network. (See the schedule below.)
You need to start with a base Sling TV plan. There are three options:
- Sling Blue: This plan features 40+ channels including Fox and NBC in select markets. It also offers related channels like Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and USA Network. And it includes NFL Network. It comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR storage and streaming on up to 3 devices at once. Cost: $40.00/mo.
- Sling Orange: This plan features 30+ channels — most notably The Disney Channel along with ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 (includes ABC Sports broadcasts). It comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR, but limits streaming to a single device. Cost: $40.00/mo.
- Sling Orange & Blue: This plan is just the two previous plans together. There is a lot of overlap with channels like AMC, BET, Cartoon Network, CNN, Comedy Central, Food Network, HGTV, History Channel, Lifetime, Nick Jr, TBS, TLC, and TNT. So it features 50+ channels. Cost: $55.00/mo.
To get MLB Network, you need the Sports Extra add-on. This is the way Sling TV works. Rather than give you a huge number of channels you will never watch, it allows you to pick and choose what you want with individual channel and group channel add-ons.
Sports Extra offers roughly a dozen channels depending on which base plan you have. The cost also varies. If you have the Orange or Blue plans, it is $11/mo. But if you have the Orange + Blue plan, it is $15/mo.
Here are the channels with O indicating they are in the Orange Sports Extra, B in the Blue Sports Extra, and OB in either. You get all the channels with the Sling Orange + Blue Sports Extra. Note that MLB Network comes with either plan.

Spring Training Blackouts
Note that some of the games on the MLB Spring Training Schedule may be blacked out for you. This isn’t a limitation of Sling TV. This is just the way that the MLB licenses games.
Blackouts were originally designed to encourage people to go see games in person. Regardless of their utility today, they make being a baseball fan harder.
There is a distinction in sports broadcasting. There are in-market games and out-of-market games. An in-market game is one featuring a team that is located in that market. So if the Giants play the Royals, the game will be in-market for viewers in San Francisco and Kansas City. For all other viewers, the game would be out-of-market.
Generally, a game will be blacked out for in-market viewers. But this is made up for by having such games broadcast on local channels — usually RSNs.
Wrapping Up
Don’t miss out on the 2024 Spring Training. You can follow all the action with Sling TV. Save 50% on your first month of Sling TV.
FAQs
Are there other options for watching Spring Training games?
There are other options for watching Spring Training games. You could sign-up for an MLB.TV subscription, which allows you to watch all out-of-market games. It costs $149.99 for the year and gives you a great selection of Spring Training games. It’s also great for regular season games. But note that you will not be able to watch any of your local team’s games and no playoff games (including the World Series).
You can also watch Spring Training with the other live TV streaming services DIRECTV STREAM and Fubo, but they are roughly twice the price. The big services Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV don’t offer MLB Network at all.
What other baseball is occurring?
The college baseball season started in mid-February. You can find them mostly on the ESPN channels. Sling TV is the cheapest way to get these channels. Games also appear on Big Ten Network. For gaming involving smaller schools, check out ESPN+ and FloSports.
What are Grapefruit League and Cactus League?
For Spring Training, the MLB divides the 30 clubs into two groups — the Grapefruit League, which trains in Florida, and the Cactus League, which trains in Arizona. These are really just for fun, and have no bearing on the regular season. For a list of teams that are in each league, and which ballpark each team trains at, please take a look at our guide to watching MLB Spring Training on Sling TV.
How do I watch my favorite MLB team?
