When fans in the Mid-Atlantic put on an Orioles game, they almost certainly tune in to Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, better known as MASN. The regional sports network (RSN) has long served as the TV home of the Baltimore Orioles, delivering in-market game broadcasts, pregame coverage, and team-focused programming.
MASN spent years also televising the Washington Nationals, but that era is officially over. With the Nationals leaving the network ahead of the 2026 MLB season, MASN is now exclusively focused on Orioles baseball. For viewers, this shift raises practical questions about availability, channel placement, and what actually changes when it comes time to watch games.
Because MASN is an RSN, tracking it down can be trickier than flipping on a standard national channel. Your access changes depending on your exact location and TV provider. Below, I’ll show you exactly where to find the channel, the best ways to stream it, and what Orioles fans can expect moving forward.
What channel is MASN on near me?
Finding MASN on your TV guide isn’t always straightforward. As a regional sports network, MASN lacks a universal channel number across all TV providers. Cable services like Verizon Fios and Xfinity assign the network different slots depending on your exact location.
The one major exception is DIRECTV, which places MASN on Channel 640 nationwide. To save you the hassle of scrolling through your TV guide, I broke down the MASN channel numbers for major U.S. cities in the table below. If your hometown provider isn’t listed, use our zip code tool to find your exact channel lineup.

Get MASN with cable or satellite TV
Most cable and satellite services operating within MASN’s regional footprint carry the network. Major providers like Cox, Verizon Fios, and Xfinity offer the channel, but you won’t find it on Spectrum or DISH.
If you live in the broadcast area, MASN is typically part of your cable provider’s expanded channel suite. But it’s not guaranteed on every plan, as you often need a higher-tier package to tune in.

Get MASN with a live TV streaming service
If you plan to stream the Orioles this season, you have to pick your platform carefully. Heavyweight live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV don’t offer MASN.
Right now, DIRECTV and Fubo stand alone as the only major streaming providers to carry the channel. Just prepare your wallet before checkout, as both options feature a hefty regional sports fee to access the channel.
