Major League Baseball and NBC Sports Regional Networks announced a partnership to stream games direct-to-consumers for the Athletics (NBC Sports California) through MLB.TV during the 2025 season. Fans in the A's home territory can now watch the network's game coverage live and on demand with live pre- and post-game shows through the league¡¯s streaming service, which is now entering its 23rd season.
In partnership with NBC Sports California, stream Athletics games in the Athletics home television territory without blackouts. Pay as you go and cancel at any time with monthly billing, through and including September 2025.
¡°We are excited to partner with NBC to continue increasing the reach of MLB games for our fans,¡± said Noah Garden, MLB Deputy Commissioner, Business & Media. ¡°We have been hard at work with our clubs and RSNs to address one of the top issues that baseball fans have had for years, which has been blackouts. This agreement with NBC marks an important step in that effort as we now have nearly 90% of the league with a DTC streaming option available in their market.¡±
Last season, MLB.TV set a new high of 14.5 billion minutes watched, a jump of +14% over last year¡¯s previous high mark of 12.7 billion minutes watched.
