The Free Game of the Day: Your Ticket to MLB Nirvana (with Limitations)
MLB.com offers a glorious gift to the budget-conscious baseball fan: The Free Game of the Day. Every day, you get to witness a live MLB game, completely free of charge. It's like baseball Santa Claus (minus the creepy elf situation).
Here's the catch (there's always a catch, right?):
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.
- Blackouts apply: This is where things get a little tricky. MLB has blackout restrictions, which means you can't watch any games that are being televised in your local market. So, if your favorite team is playing down the street, you're out of luck (unless you have a friend with a very generous cable subscription).
- It's a mystery matchup: You won't know which game is free until the day of. It could be a battle for first place between two bitter rivals, or it could be a snoozefest between two teams destined for the basement. But hey, free baseball is free baseball!
So You Want to Watch the Free Game? Here's the Lowdown
- Gear Up: All you need is an MLB.com account (which is also free). You can create one in a jiffy or use your existing login if you're already knee-deep in baseball stats and fantasy leagues.
- Head to the Free Game Mecca: Once you're logged in, navigate to the MLB.TV section of the website. There, you'll find the glorious banner announcing the Free Game of the Day.
- Settle In and Enjoy: Kick back, grab some snacks (because free baseball deserves celebratory snacks), and enjoy the game!
Important Note: Free Game blackouts are based on your location, so make sure to allow MLB.com to access your location for the smoothest streaming experience.
