Cutting the Cord, Not the Mustard:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
There are more ways to watch the Tigers win (or, you know, play) without cable than there are errors on a Derek Jeter highlight reel. Here are your top options:
Streaming Services: Dive into the Deep End (of Legal Options): Streaming services are like buffets for sports fans. You've got classics like Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV, which offer Bally Sports Detroit (the Tigers' home network) depending on your location. But be warned: There are blackout restrictions, so if you live in Tigers territory, you might be stuck with reruns of "Married with Children" during a crucial game.
MLB.TV: Your Passport to Out-of-Market Magic: Living outside Tigers territory? Don't fret! MLB.TV lets you stream every single Tigers game (except for the ones blacked out in your area, of course). Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure for baseball fans. Just remember, you'll need a separate subscription for MLB Network to catch some nationally televised games.
Bally Sports +: The Tigers in Your Pocket (But Maybe Not Your Budget): This is Bally Sports' answer to cord-cutting. You can subscribe directly to Bally Sports + and stream Tigers games live. The downside? It can be a bit pricey, so make sure you're prepared to shell out some dough for this all-access pass.
Bonus Round: Risky Business (But We Didn't Say That):
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
We're here to give you the legal lowdown, but there are some not-so-legal methods floating around the internet. Let's just say, they involve questionable websites and streams that might disappear faster than a foul ball in the stands. We strongly advise against them. Not only is the quality often terrible, but you could also be putting your computer at risk for malware.
