This MLB season marks 20 years of Washington Nationals baseball, which is hard to believe. I still remember when they drafted Stephen Strasburg with the first overall pick way back in 2009. A year later, they somehow selected a future superstar in Bryce Harper. While Harper is now playing for the Phillies, those two players generated enormous excitement for the young franchise.
Almost a decade later, that early promise paid off. Strasburg—alongside Juan Soto—led the Nats to their first World Series title. It’s been a fun two decades for the Nationals, and I can’t wait to see what the franchise accomplishes in the years to come.
With eyes locked on the current season, let’s get you ready for every game day. Keep scrolling for my complete guide to watching the 2025 Nationals on TV.

What channels have Washington Nationals games?
Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) and MASN2 are the main channels that feature Washington Nationals games in 2025. You can also watch select matchups on Apple TV+, FS1, MLB Network, and The Roku Channel.
Out-of-market fans who want to watch regional games on MASN channels will need MLB.TV or MLB EXTRA INNINGS. Before going that route, I recommend using MLB’s Game Availability Locator to find out if the Nats are blacked out on MLB.TV in your area.
Want additional coverage? You can watch Nats Xtra, the team’s pre- and postgame show, before and after every home game on MASN.
Best TV plans for watching the Washington Nationals
If you’re a fan of the Nationals, Fubo is the most affordable TV provider on the market that includes all the channels needed to enjoy every game in 2025. The only exceptions are games that air on Apple TV+ and The Roku Channel.
Not only does Fubo include all the baseball channels you need, but it also has hundreds of local and national channels to satisfy your other entertainment needs. Combine that with unlimited recording space and the ability to watch content on up to 10 screens at once, and you’ve got a great TV provider.
The only downside I want to address with Fubo is the regional sports fee. Fubo isn’t super transparent about this fee, but it’s added to the monthly price of whatever subscription plan you choose. This can cost up to $16.99 a month, depending on where you live. That being said, I still believe Fubo is your best choice this MLB season.
Standalone in-market TV package for Nationals games
If you live in the Washington Nationals’ TV territory, you can stream every regional game on MASN+ ($19.99/mo.). While the service doesn’t allow you to watch nationally televised games, I don’t expect the Nats to have a lot of those this season—unless they’re surprisingly good.
That makes the in-market streaming package even more worthwhile. A subscription to MASN+ also gives you access to regional Orioles games, along with MASN and MASN2 programming at no additional cost. Overall, it’s a great deal for fans!
2025 Washington Nationals TV schedule
It hasn’t been the season Nats fans hoped for, but I believe everyone should be excited about the team’s future. In July, the Nationals selected shortstop Eli Willits No. 1 overall in the 2025 MLB Draft.
This year’s struggles could also lead to another high pick in next year’s draft. While Willits combined with Washington’s 2026 top selection might not help the team for a few years, winning seasons should be on the way.
Check out the full Nationals TV schedule in the table below, featuring game times and channel listings.
