Cable Cutters, Rejoice! Streaming Options for the Modern Fan
Forget bulky cable boxes and questionable customer service. These days, streaming services are all the rage, and thankfully, there are a couple of great options for catching your Tigers fix.
- Bally Sports+: This brand new streaming service is like the digital version of your friendly neighborhood Bally Sports Detroit channel. Pro Tip: They even offer a 7-day free trial, so you can test it out before committing. Just be sure to set a reminder in your phone so you don't accidentally become a subscriber if that's not your thing.
- MLB.TV: This is the official Major League Baseball streaming service, and it's a great option if you live outside of the Detroit market (or, you know, if you just have a thing for watching Mike Trout play too). Heads up: There are blackout restrictions, so you won't be able to stream Tigers games if they're being broadcast locally.
The Old-Fashioned Way (But Still Works!): Cable and Satellite
For those of you who cling to tradition (or perhaps just haven't gotten around to cutting the cord yet), you can still catch the Tigers the good old-fashioned way – by tuning in to Bally Sports Detroit on your cable or satellite provider. Just make sure you have the right package that includes that channel, otherwise you might be stuck watching reruns of "Pawn Stars" instead (not that there's anything wrong with that...).
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Bonus Tip: Many cable and satellite providers offer apps that allow you to stream live TV on your phone or tablet. This can be a great option for catching a game on the go, whether you're stuck at work (ahem, "on a very important conference call") or just taking a break from mowing the lawn.
How to Stream Detroit Tigers Baseball: FAQs
1. How much does it cost to stream Tigers games?
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
The cost depends on the service you choose. Bally Sports+ offers a free trial and then a monthly or annual subscription fee. MLB.TV also has subscription fees, but the price can vary depending on the package you select. Cable and satellite TV providers typically have different pricing tiers, so you'll need to check with your specific provider to see how much a package that includes Bally Sports Detroit costs.
2. Can I stream Tigers games for free?
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
There are limited free options. Some streaming services might offer free trials, but after that, you'll need to pay for a subscription. You can also try watching condensed game replays or highlights for free on the MLB website or app, but that's not quite the same as catching the live action.
3. What devices can I use to stream Tigers games?
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Bally Sports+ and MLB.TV both have apps that are compatible with a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, streaming devices like Roku and Fire TV, and even some gaming consoles. If you have cable or satellite TV, you can usually stream Tigers games through your provider's app on your phone or tablet.
4. What if I live outside of the Detroit market?
MLB.TV is your best bet if you're a Tigers fan living outside of Michigan. However, be aware of blackout restrictions, which prevent you from streaming games that are being broadcast locally.
5. Is there a legal way to stream Tigers games for free online?
We highly recommend sticking to official streaming services. There may be websites that offer free streams of MLB games, but these can be unreliable, often have poor quality, and could potentially be malware traps. It's best to avoid them altogether.
