Dodgers Chase 3rd Straight Title: New TV Maze
9 Mar
Summary
- Dodgers aim for a third consecutive championship after 2025 title.
- Finding Dodgers games involves navigating regional and national broadcasters.
- Multiple streaming services and providers are needed to watch games.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are gearing up for the 2026 season with ambitions of a third consecutive championship, having added slugger Kyle Tucker and closer Edwin Díaz to their roster. Following their journey, however, presents a significant challenge for fans due to a convoluted broadcasting setup.
Within the Los Angeles market, over 145 regular-season games are broadcast on Spectrum SportsNet LA. Access to these games requires a subscription to the network or its over-the-top streaming pass, SNLA+. Fans without these options cannot stream these specific broadcasts via MLB.TV due to blackout restrictions.
For fans outside the Los Angeles market, MLB.TV is the essential service for viewing regional SportsNet LA games. While historically available directly, new sign-ups now fall under ESPN Unlimited. T-Mobile customers and MLB season ticket holders may receive special access or free subscriptions.
Nationally, games will be spread across NBC, Netflix, ESPN, ABC, Fox, FS1, Apple TV, and MLB Network. ESPN and ABC will feature games on various weekdays and Sundays, while Netflix offers exclusive broadcasts on Opening Night, the Home Run Derby, and the 'Field of Dreams' game. Fox and FS1 will cover Saturday games and playoff series.
NBC and Peacock are returning to MLB coverage, broadcasting Sunday games and the playoff wild-card series, including the Opening Day doubleheader featuring the Dodgers. TBS will continue its Tuesday night coverage and broadcast the ALDS and ALCS playoff rounds.
