The Seattle Mariners have the northwest part of the country to themselves and, as a result, have one of the majors’ largest geographical regions. However, that fan support has not resulted in much success as the club has had one of the most challenging histories of any team. This includes being the only franchise to have never played in the World Series.

However, Seattle almost broke a decades-long playoff drought in 2021. So, what will the future hold?

If you want to find out, you should gain access to Root Sports Northwest, the regional sports network that broadcasts Mariners games to those located in its broadcast area. If you are there, you can subscribe to DIRECTV STREAM ($99.99/mo) or FuboTV ($74.99/mo) to access it.

On the other hand, if you are outside of the Mariners’ blackout area, MLB.TV ($24.99/mo) is where you want to go to watch most of those same game broadcasts.

About the Mariners

The Seattle Pilots had just a one-year stint in Major League Baseball, in 1969, before moving to Milwaukee and becoming the Brewers. But the Emerald City was determined to return to the majors. Eight years later, the expansion Mariners started playing American League games. They were placed in the West Division, where they have remained.

However, when you take away a short successful period from 1995-2001, the Mariners have had, to be blunt, a depressing history. It took until 1991 for the team to break the .500 mark for the first time. That year’s squad went 83-79. Meanwhile, the team enters the 2022 campaign with the longest current playoff-less drought in any of the US’s major sports leagues.

Crazily, that stretch started on the heels of the Mariners tying the major league record for wins in a season with 116 victories in 2001. However, that campaign ended in heartbreaking fashion at the hands of the New York Yankees in the AL Championship Series. The Bronx Bombers also defeated Seattle in the ALCS in 2000.

Seattle’s other ALCS appearance came in 1995. The Mariners beat the Yankees, 3-2, in the AL Division Series that year before falling to Cleveland, 4-2, in the ALCS.

However, the Mariners have had some good teams during its current playoff-less drought, winning 90+ games on three occasions, 93 in 2002 and 2003 and 90 in 2021, and posting winning marks in eight of those 20 years.

As for that 2021 campaign, the Marinerss took the playoff race down to the final day of the season before finally being eliminated. Seattle’s 90-72 record was better than eventual world champion Atlanta’s 88-73 mark.

Seattle has only had two home stadiums, the Kingdome (1977-99) and T-Mobile Park (1999-present).

Mariners TV Channels

Root Sports Northwest is the regional sports network (RSN) that broadcasts a high percentage of Seattle Mariners games. It is usually in excess of 95%.

It is available in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. During the winters, the channel’s focus turns to the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers and NHL’s Seattle Kraken.

It is when the Mariners are shown elsewhere that things become less straightforward. If a Mariners game is being showcased on national or regional television, check out your local Fox, ABC, and NBC affiliates as well as the MLB Network, ESPN, TBS, and Fox Sports 1 (FS1).

If it is not being shown on any of those channels, Apple TV+ and Peacock Premium may have selected it for an exclusive stream. These will be on Fridays and Sundays.

Mariners games appear on a number of channels although the vast majority will be on Root Sports Northwest.
