Best Minor League Baseball TV plans
The best TV plan for watching Minor League Baseball games is an MLB At Bat subscription for $29.99 per year. Each season, At Bat subscribers get over 7,000 games from all four levels of Minor League Baseball—including every Triple-A and Double-A regular season matchup. Games stream live and on-demand via MiLB.TV and the MiLB app.
Unfortunately, the MiLB app isn’t available on popular streaming platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku. But you can use your subscription to log into the MLB app on those devices and watch Minor League games affiliated with your favorite MLB team. It’s an odd workaround, so be sure to choose your favorite team in the MLB app’s settings.
Pro tip: MLB Network shows select MiLB games and events, like the Triple-A Championship Game and MiLB Awards. Visit our How To Watch MLB Network page for ways to get the channel.
How to watch Minor League Baseball for free
*CableTV.com utilizes paid Amazon links. Amazon.com Price; $39.99 (as of 2/20/24 9:30 a.m. CT). Read full disclaimer.
If you live in the region of a Minor League Baseball team, you’ll likely have free access to select home games using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna. For example, fans in South Bend, Indiana, and neighboring areas can watch the South Bend Cubs over the air on WMYS-LD.
Check your local team’s website for TV details. Using that info, enter your zip code on the FCC’s Reception Map Tool for channel tower distances to determine your desired antenna strength. We recommend the Mohu Leaf 50 for suburban areas because its 60-mile range is usually ideal for most local channels.
Occasionally, Minor League games stream free on MLB.TV, MLB.com, and the MLB Pipeline site. We recommend downloading the MiLB and MLB apps on your streaming devices to stay up on all the action.
