I had a ton of fun watching the Cleveland Guardians turn their season around last year. Their run to the postseason gave me inspiring-sports-movie vibes.
Going into the 2026 season, Cleveland is looking to not just win the American League Central Division, but also potentially make a run to the World Series for the first time since 2016.
My hope is that the Guardians can start 2026 strong and sustain that, so my stress level doesn’t go off the charts toward the end of the season. I created this guide for Cleveland fans who want to watch every Guardians game.

Best TV plans for watching the Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians ditched the traditional RSN route and now offer CLEGuardians.TV, which is a blackout-free, in-market streaming service. That’s where you’re going to get to tune in to over 150 games, so you’d be in good hands.
For a complete package, I recommend DIRECTV’s CHOICE streaming plan. It includes CLEGuardians.TV on channel 662 for local fans, plus all the national MLB channels for those marquee matchups.
Just a heads-up: About 15 games this season will air exclusively on national platforms like FOX, ESPN, TBS, Apple TV, and Peacock. So if you want every pitch, you’ll need to add those to your lineup.
Standalone in-market TV package for Guardians games
If you live in Northeast Ohio, then you’ve got a streamlined way to watch the Cleveland Guardians in 2026—no cable or satellite required. Just subscribe to CLEGuardians.TV directly. The direct-to-consumer streaming service is available through the MLB app or online at CLEGuardians.TV.
For $99.99 a year or $19.99 a month, you’ll get access to more than 150 regular-season games, all blackout-free and available live or on demand. It’s the easiest way to follow the Guardians if you’re in-market and want to skip the traditional TV setup.
How to watch the Cleveland Guardians FAQ
How can I watch Cleveland Guardians’ in-market games in 2026?
The Guardians no longer have a traditional RSN like Bally Sports Great Lakes. Instead, in-market fans can watch games via select local broadcast affiliates and a new team-operated streaming service called CLEGuardians.TV. National games still air on ESPN, FOX, Apple TV, MLB Network, and Peacock.
What’s the best way to stream Guardians games if I live outside Ohio?
Out-of-market fans can subscribe to MLB.TV, which offers streaming access to all games not nationally televised. It’s ideal for Guardians fans living beyond the eastern Great Lakes region.
Can I watch Cleveland Guardians games for free?
Local Cleveland Guardians fans can catch free games over the air on WKYC using a digital antenna. If you're a subscriber to ESPN Unlimited, some Guardians games may be featured as the free MLB Game of the Day on that platform.
Are the Cleveland Guardians on Peacock?
Yes, the Guardians play at least four games on Peacock this season.
