DIRECTV has raised the price of this season’s MLB Extra Innings package by $10, bringing it to $139.99.
That is the same price of the regular rate for the 2022 edition of MLB.TV, the league’s streaming package of out-of-market regular season games. However, MLB.TV is now offering $10 off the season’s regular rate, bringing the price to $129.99.
As in the previous seven seasons, DIRECTV is including MLB.TV for free with its Extra Innings plan. MLB.TV can be seen on more than 400 different streaming devices, including Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.

MLB Extra Innings offers up to 90 out-of-market games a week, most of them in High-Definition. Local blackouts still apply in the 2022 MLB TV and Extra Innings plans. You cannot watch the team or teams in your local market with a MLB.TV or Extra Innings subscription. You can determine which teams would be blacked out in your zip code here.
DIRECTV’s Extra Innings plan also includes the Game Mix Channel which can display up to eight games on one channel at the same time.
Comcast, Dish, Verizon and Charter have also offered the Extra Innings package in past years but have yet to begin selling the 2022 plan online. It’s unclear if they will offer an increased rate as well.
MLB’s 2022 season is scheduled to start on April 7 after the original opening date was delayed due to the player lockout which was settled earlier this month.

FYI-If you sign up for a membership with the MLBPAA (MLB Players Alumni Association), you get a 50% discount off MLB.TV (in addition to a bunch of other discounts). You can confirm the discount here -> https://www.mlb.com/mlbpaa/membership/fans. Since the cheapest membership is only $25, you would pay $25 to save $65 at the current $129.99 rate (or save $70 at the $139.99 rate after they raise prices).
i just want to watch the whitesox. i cant watch 15 games at one time.
a As a Yankees fan in South Florida for more than 40 years, I have been paying for the MLB package as well as the Sports package so I can get the Yes Network since the MLB package became available. Suddenly, Fri, and Sat nights, I can’t watch the Yankees on YES or on 742. I’m disabled and retired and I need to be able to watch the Yankees as I have for the last 25-30 years, Don’t tell me about streaming on my computer–I need to watch it on my 65” flat screen.Calling 800-531-5000 is a giant waste of time. I’m ready to get cable …ugh
