Ah, Padres baseball. The crack of the bat, the smell of hot dogs (questionable quality optional), the sheer joy of watching Tatis Jr. make a play that defies the laws of physics. But you're stuck in San Diego (lucky you!), and cable seems like a relic of the Blockbuster era. Fear not, fellow fan! Here's your guide to catching every Padres game, from the comfort of your couch to the lively atmosphere of a local bar.

Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
Cable? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Cable! For you cord-cutters out there, salvation arrives in the form of Padres.TV. This is your one-stop shop for all things Padres, with live streams of every home and away game (except for those pesky national broadcasts). Plus, it's a steal at just $19.99 a month. Who needs the commitment of a full season subscription when you can enjoy the freedom of a month-to-month plan? Just remember, blackouts are a thing, so some nationally televised games might be off-limits.
MLB.TV: Your Out-of-Market Lifeline Live outside San Diego's glorious baseball bubble? Don't despair! MLB.TV offers a buffet of out-of-market games, but you'll need the MLB.TV + Padres.TV bundle to catch your beloved Friars. Think of it as the all-you-can-eat Padres package, with a side of everything else happening in Major League Baseball.
