The Not-So-Secret Guide to Marrying Your MLB.TV and Prime Video Accounts: A Match Made in Baseball Heaven
Ah, the age-old question that plagues baseball fans with Prime Video subscriptions: how do I link my MLB.TV account to Amazon Prime and unlock a world of out-of-market games? Well, fret no more, fellow baseball fanatics, because this guide is here to be your dugout buddy, complete with peanuts (disclaimer: peanuts not included).
First Base: Checking Your Amazon Prime Status
Before we dive headfirst into linking accounts, let's make sure you've got the essentials. You'll need a robust Amazon Prime membership – think of it as your baseball cap, gotta have it! This gets you access to the glorious MLB.TV channel on Prime Video, a treasure trove of out-of-market games waiting to be devoured.
Pro Tip: If you're unsure about your Prime status, a quick jog over to your Amazon account settings will clear things right up. Just don't get sidetracked by all those amazing deals on inflatable flamingo pool floats (trust me, we've all been there).
Second Base: You Don't Need Two Dates Tonight! (Unless...)
Here's the thing: you can't actually link your existing MLB.TV account (purchased directly through MLB) to your Amazon Prime. Think of it like showing up to the stadium with a date you met at a different ballpark – it just wouldn't work.
But fear not, single baseball fans! This doesn't mean you have to strike out entirely. If you're an MLB.TV free agent, you can subscribe to the MLB.TV channel directly through Prime Video. It's like scouting a new hot dog vendor – you might discover a whole new level of flavor!
Third Base: Signing Up for MLB.TV on Prime Video: Easy as Stealing a Base
Assuming you're ready to commit to the MLB.TV channel on Prime Video (and who wouldn't?), subscribing is a breeze. Here's the steal (pun intended):
- Head over to the Prime Video Channels section on your Amazon account.
- Find the MLB.TV channel and hit that subscribe button like you're rounding third base.
- Follow the on-screen prompts and create your MLB.TV account (or sign in if you already have one through Prime Video).
Now you're in! High fives all around because you've just unlocked a season's worth of out-of-market baseball goodness.
Home Run! You're Ready to Stream Like a Champion
Congratulations, my friend! You've successfully navigated the bases and can now settle in for a season of MLB action. Remember, with great streaming power comes great responsibility – use it wisely (by watching every single out, of course). Now, grab your favorite beverage, settle into your comfy chair, and get ready to cheer on your favorite team (unless they're playing against mine, then all bets are off).
