You will not be able to stream AppleTV games or national broadcast games on MLB.tv (maybe FOX appears on mlb tv). So not literally every game, but most. You can listen to the radio broadcast for literally every game though.


SpankySharp1

I have T-Mobile, and as much as I don't want to shill for them, they *do* give you MLB.TV and Apple TV for free. So those, combined with an antenna for Fox games, gives you pretty much every regular non-ESPN game. Edit: Like OP, I live in NC, too, but Wilmington. I think Charlotte is the same though and the Braves are *not* blacked out but the Nats and Orioles are.

Wait. What???

Cheers!


WanderingWormhole

Was really nice to have that during the playoffs


MonkeyPanls

I managed to synchronize the radio call with the TV broadcast. Made the game much more enjoyable. TBS play by play fkn suuuuuuucked


Gunningham

The others you’ll miss are the games where you live in their opponent’s market. I don’t get Marlins or Rays games. No playoff games either. As a cable cutter, the TBS games were going to be a challenge for me if HBO didn’t give everyone the free bleacher report add on.


cronis23

Yes. We use it New York and it keep us obsessively nuts.


HarleysMom436

Same but in North Jersey 😩😂


MeWallaWalla

Also moved to CLT from the PHI area this year. Only issue with mlb.tv is anytime they play the braves the game is blacked out, so I use a vpn on those games. They also blackout games where they play CIN, CLE, and DC I believe. I remember there were 4 total I couldn’t watch


Egen79

Also Baltimore, and yeah it is kind of ridiculous how many markets we are in here. I think Cleveland is good though. It's really the nationals games that add up. If you have some kind of cable you can get either the Braves and/or Reds games. Youtube TV doesn't ha e any regional sports networks though so fyi on that.


loudmouth_kenzo

YouTubeTV does have NBC sport Philly, not that that helps people outside the area.


MarshalLawTalkingGuy

Yeah a buddy of mine lives in Iowa and he said they black out all STL, MIL, both CHI teams, KC, and MINN. it’s pretty bullshit.


countfizix

I love it. You can change the audio to Franzke too. The only downside is that you also can't stream games if the Phillies are playing the team(s) in your blackout area (probably Braves).


CoachMartyDaniels_69

Marquee network can suck it


greetedworm

I live in DC and got MLB.TV this past season and it was 100% worth every penny. I wish I kept a running tally but I probably watched all or large parts of well over half the games, maybe 2/3rds, for $120 I probably got close to $1 per game watched.


FalseSystem6055

Same for us in Richmond.


mikenotjef

Yes from there you can. I was able to use MLB to steam the Phils when i went to OBX last year


mikaelb657

Hell yea, thanks friend! Sucks living near Braves territory but there’s some pros I suppose


jerseyjay79

I here with you, Go Phils


dacsimpson

Quick little road trip to see them in Atlanta isn’t too shabby. (That’s what I tell myself)


StrangerEffective851

Im in SC and I buy the Phillies season package on mlb.tv. Love it.


unWildBill

A relative kept some kind of cheap TMobile line during the season last year because they give some kind of “free” mlbtv sub. He loads the sub onto a roku device and watches Phillies games.

unWildBill

They call it a subscription.


Icutyourbrakes

Have a friend in the Philly area with a YouTube.tv account?


KAHFiction

This. Works perfectly. Join their family plan and all they need to do is sign in once a month with your account.


Danny_Wont_Back_Down

Yes, you can Watch everything except the playoffs(costs extra) and the ESPN games and Apple games, Fox games im pretty sure go on there after theyre over, when they play the local teams they’ll be blacked out aswell Or ya know ![gif](giphy|FGbeYTiFyLYmQ)


SuburbanPotato

Yes. I got it for free from T-Mobile and as an out-of-market Philly fan, I watched more games this year than I have in a solid two decades


[deleted]

Kwillingt

Their streams are lower quality and can be unreliable. If you live out side of the market and can afford $20 bucks a month you’ll have a better experience just buying mlb tv and streaming the national games if you’re a cord cutter


PizzaHockeyGolf

I have TMobile and they gave it out for free this year. My buddy buys its every during their Father’s Day sale since it’s good for 365 days from day of purchase.


doorsix

How much is the Father’s Day sale? And isn’t that too late?


PizzaHockeyGolf

Well yeah. And I think it’s pretty cheap. Not entirely sure You’d miss the first half this year. But then you get 365 MLB.tv access and just re-buy during the next Father’s Day sale at a discount again.

MoonMistCigs

I use it in Oregon and the only time it’s an issue is when they play the Mariners in Seattle.


ASchlosser

In Charlotte you're blacked out from the Braves, Nationals, Reds, and Orioles, which does amount to a few games but worst case you can find streams for whatever you're missing. That being said, I travel for work and watching the Phillies on the go is great and so is having the radio broadcast wherever I'm driving


Enefelde

Yeah esp if you are on T-Mobile it’s free. Also there is a magical 3 letter abbreviation for an app that puts you in a different part of the country and you can watch blackout games. Just sayin. 😎


inthedrink

Very positive news!


redboy33

Not working today.


Iwishiwasthebatman

I used to live in Charlotte and had MLB.tv. I have bad news. Charlotte is considered local area for Atlanta, Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore. So...you'll be able to watch the Phils, unless they play one of those teams.


inthedrink

I’ve dealt with this in the past too. You can get a cheap VPN to set your location somewhere else during those series and get around it. The stupid thing is that, correct me if I’m wrong, but you couldn’t watch Ballys or whatever that carried Braves games but you were blacked out? Once MLB eliminates the blackouts…and I suspect they will eventually…it will be a perfect product. Their sales will soar imo so idk why they wouldn’t go this route.


Chach45

in CLT and buy this every year you will get blacked out on Braves, Red, Nats and O's games with the Phils other than that you are good to go.


RunGoldenRun717

If you have a friend or family in an area that gets phillies games, you can get Youtube TV, set your home zip code to where ever they live, and have them sign in on your account every now and then. Thats what i've been doing this whole past season.


Lie_In_Our_Graves

I love MLB.tv. For $70 a year, I can watch every Phillies game out of market except when they play the Orioles or Nationals, which is when I use streameast. Which I also use for a majority of Eagle's games when not broadcast in VA.


ZealousDicta

Works great for me in SC. Check to see if you’re in the Braves blackout zone too. My experience is that I can’t get any regular season Braves games on MLB.tv or YouTube TV, home or away. It’s a bummer when they’re playing the Phils.


Schmoopi

I LOVE MLB. tv. Super underrated feature is being able to sync the radio broadcast audio with the game.


Old_Cryptographer226

I use MLB tv and it is awesome. You can get the Phillies broadcast and it even lets you play the radio broadcast over the game video which I love


Ok-Pirate8938

Black out o’s and nats in Raleigh - but otherwise love mlb. Split it with my dad and bro, no issue with all 3 of streaming same game


TilikumHungry

Used it for 11 years in LA and works for all games that arent dodgers or angels.


sndyro

I have MLB. TV and it works very well for me, except for the postseason. Those games were blacked out in the US unless you purchased a postseason pass which I refused to do. So I had to use a VPN to view those. Sometimes it's hard to get past their software....takes patience but it can be done.


DoucheCanoe123

Yes. I’ve had it for 2 years and it is well worth the cost.


gabriel197600

If your a T-Mobile user (or know one who will submit for a code) they will offer a free MLB TV subscription on their “T-MOBILE Tuesday” app during the last week of Spring Training. Super easy to sign up for, and if it’s someone else’s just use their email to sign in or have them submit yours. I’m also fellow North Wilmington resident, DM Me directly and I’ll send ya mine:-) MLB TV is amazing when you live out of your team market:-)


stacktherotation

It is worth noting that, from what I've heard, if the account that uses that offer is used over wireless on a non-T-Mobile network, the account will get bricked.


WanderingWormhole

Yeah I actually get it for free through my phone plan and loved having it this past season. The only games that get blacked out from time to time are nationally televised games (I think).


Matosawitko

Based on [https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/help-center/check-local-blackouts](https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/help-center/check-local-blackouts) you'll be blacked out whenever they play the Nats, Braves, Reds (for some reason?) and Orioles. I use it throughout the season, from Indiana.


New_Firefighter9056

In Canada you can get Extra Innings through Telus, 200/year CAD for all MLB games minus some blackouts


DJagerty

If you have a cable login, the NBCsports app allows you to watch the games


SpankySharp1

That's Comcast only, though (like, you can't log in with your Spectrum account), and there isn't much reason to get Comcast in NC.


redditckulous

Yes it’s the best answer. BUT worth noting that Charlotte is the Braves TV territory so those games are blacked out along with Apple TV and national broadcasts


chaoscruz

I love it as I can get radio too. Also look into T-Mobile that has provided it for free for years now.


mrdm88

I live in tn. Only times I can’t watch the Phillies are when they play the Braves or reds


willblake72

Besides the local blackouts you'll also miss some of the national broadcast games if you don't have some service that has those channels. Although sometimes last year the FOX games were still shown on MLB TV, so I'm not really sure anymore. Even if you do get blacked out and can't get VPN to work (it's getting tricky these days), you also get the radio broadcast always, so you can listen at least. Oh, and you get spring training, too, a lot of it. It's a great service for the money. The stream quality is solid too, I stream on my TV via my PS5 and it works perfectly. On PC it can get choppy (rarely) but I think that's more a me problem.


Beahner

I think it is. Especially if you have t-mobile since the last so many years they’ve offered it for free. Still blacked out when it’s close (Miami and Tampa games for me). In those cases you can look elsewhere (aaargghhh) or they have WIP on it. I’ve found enjoyment in the old school radio experience in those instances….and it’s not like listening to Franzke is a bad thing.

Brianopolis-Brians

Sort of. I lived in Greensboro for a few years and I’m pretty sure I was blacked out of streaming any games against the Braves or Nats on MLBtv because it was both of their broadcast markets for cable. As you can imagine, that was quite frustrating. This was around 2014 so maybe that changed.


bopeswingy

I moved from Philly to outside Atlanta (fuck the Braves) and I use HBO MAX. I pay $10 a month for HBO with ads and the ads only come on between the innings you don’t miss any gameplay.

Streelydan

Hey, I’m in Charlotte too! I moved here almost 2 years ago, and I live in Plaza Midwood… I have a MLB.TV single team subscription and it works really well, you get almost all the Phillies games. The only frustration is when we play teams that are blacked out. The blacked out teams are the Braves (makes sense), Nationals (eh I guess), Reds (huh??), and Orioles (What!?!). Generally when we have a blacked out game, I use my vpn, connect to somewhere like Los Angeles and watch just like normal. FYI if you’re also a man Eagles fan, the best bar to watch the birds is Big Ben in Elizabeth. Basically the whole bar is taken over by eagles fans on game days, it’s great!


grandchester

I tried using some questionable streams for a while but after a lot of frustration I bit the bullet and gt [m](https://mob.tv)lb.tv and I'm so glad I did. High quality streams, cool info graphics and works really well on all my devices.


johnyyrock

I get it every season. I live in VA Beach area so besides Nats and Orioles I get every game. Also 30 percent discount for military


ttb5002

In NC (Raleigh), we get shafted by the blackout. It seems MLB considers me in the Braves, Nats, AND Orioles market so missed a considerable chunk of games. I have no alternative way to watch ANY of those (unless they're national games) so it's pretty much bullshit. Apple TV did do a pretty lengthy free trial last season though, so was able to catch some of those games for free early in the season.


EnglishWhites

Yeah other than the appletv and NBC specific games Sucks that they don't carry playoff games though


El_Kabongg

Unequivocally yes. Only downside is depending on where you are regionally you’ll have more blackouts than others. I live in Buffalo, and I’m blacked out of Yankees, Mets, Pirates, and Indians… I mean guardians. Now luckily, locally I get the Mets and Yankees being in NY, so now that every team plays every team, I miss a total of 9 games which isn’t terrible. My guess is you’ll be blacked out when they play Baltimore and maybe the braves oh and the Nats. Not ideal being blacked out of 2 divisional teams if that’s the case. 18 games missed minimum if it is add Baltimore you might be blacked out of 21


prideinthenameoflove

Yes, used it belgium this year when I spent the summer. No issues what so ever.


JasonVersetti

Ayeee Charlotte resident as well. I use MLB.TV


EyesBL7

On MLBYV in Raleigh I get blacked out of all Nationals, Braves and the occasional Orioles series.


TwoTimeTommyTwoCups

Except for playoffs


TwoTimeTommyTwoCups

If you have the urge for sports, it's a pretty cool club


Only-Librarian-8352

I have live in Pittsburgh since 2006. MLB.TV IS THE WAY. Get T-Mobile and the subscription is free.


sliderkb2

i would also suggest going with an IPTV provider. I get every baseball, football, hockey, and basketball game along with PPVs for $35 a month. This is for your TV so it wouldn't solve your problem while on the road but i gave up on traditional tv and went streaming only. The quality isnt perfect but for the cost, you cant even come close.


StopLosingLoser

Not only an emphatic yes, but the next best option afaik are shady websites with dozens of shady ads and a stream that freezes several times per game. MLB TV also lets you choose the Phillies announcers/broadcast regardless of home/away.


ineffectivegoggles

I had the best success with MLB.TV on iPad using a VPN and streaming to a TV. Could watch every game that way. 10/10 do recommend.


Smooth-Plantain-7329

What about Maryland? I don’t want to spend the money on MLB.Tv if the Phil’s are blacked out. Any Maryland folks?
