The Cleveland Guardians have a solid opportunity to advance to the American League Division Series with home-field advantage in the Wild Card. But they’ll have to do it against a Detroit Tigers team that was just one game behind them in the regular season standings.
The playoffs are some of the most exciting times in all of sports, let alone the MLB. Are you Guardians fans ready for October baseball? I know I am. Keep reading to find out how you can watch every Cleveland pitch, at-bat, and stolen base on TV this postseason.

What channels have Cleveland Guardians games?
CLEGuardians.TV is the primary broadcast source for in-market fans watching Cleveland Guardians games during the 2025 MLB season. This service is available as a standalone streaming subscription in the MLB app and is also accessible through DIRECTV, Fubo, Spectrum, and Cox.
National networks such as Apple TV+, ESPN, FOX, MLB Network, and The Roku Channel will televise select Guardians games to audiences across the country.
Any fans who don’t live within the Guardians’ broadcast region will need MLB.TV (streaming) or MLB EXTRA INNINGS (cable/satellite) to watch those exclusive CLEGuardians.TV games.
Want radio coverage? You can catch all Cleveland Guardians games live on WTAM 1100 AM and WMMS 100.7 FM in Cleveland, with Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus calling the action. The Guardians Radio Network also includes 29 affiliates across the region, and fans can stream games on SiriusXM, TuneIn Premium, or MLB At Bat.
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 as straightforward as a José Ramírez line drive. 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, Roku, and Apple TV+. 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 2025—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 151 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.
2025 Cleveland Guardians playoffs TV schedule
Now that the regular season is over, all eyes turn to the Wild Card series. The Cleveland Guardians have three tries to win two games against the Detroit Tigers, who won just five of the 13 matchups between the two teams.
The Guardians have every game of the series at home, so that should be an advantage. But anything can happen in a best-of-three situation. Check out the full schedule below, and keep checking up on this page for more updates.
