MLB TV, the league’s streaming package of out-of-market games, is available this year for $149.99 for the entire season or $29.99 a month. However, T-Mobile, the wireless service, will once again provide the plan for free to customers with its T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile plans who have access to T-Mobile Tuesdays on the T-Live app. (You can download the T-Life app at Google Play and the Apple iTunes store, among other platforms.)

Mashable, and several deals sites, have reported that T-Mobile customers can begin to redeem the free MLB TV subscription on the T-Life app on Tuesday, March 24 through Tuesday, March 31. After March 31, it will no longer be available to redeem for the 2026 season.

Blackout Restrictions
Local blackouts will still apply in the 2026 MLB TV out-of-market package. You cannot watch the team or teams in your local market with a MLB.TV subscription. You can determine which teams would be blacked out in your zip code here.

Why Does T-Mobile Offers MLB TV For Free?
The perk helps attract sports fans as well drive sales in February and March, which are traditionally slow for wireless service. T-Mobile’s deal with Major League Baseball run through the 2028 season.
