"Last week, while most New England sports media and fans were in all-Super Bowl, all-the-time mode, ESPN and MLB.TV announced the parameters of a new partnership that makes the network its streaming home. Turns out it's not the simplest deal to parse, and several readers reached out to ask what exactly they have to do to get MLB.TV for the upcoming season."
"⋅ Subscribers to ESPN Unlimited - the direct-to-consumer app the network launched in August 2025, putting all of ESPN's broadcast channels, programming, and ESPN+ under one umbrella - can purchase MLB.TV for $134.99 for the season. So rather than being folded into ESPN Unlimited, MLB.TV is an add-on. And not an inexpensive one. ⋅ Those who do not subscribe to ESPN Unlimited - which costs $29.99 per month or $299.99 per year - can get MLB.TV for $149.99. That includes a free month of ESPN Unlimited."
"⋅ But there are a couple of catches with that free trial. ESPN Unlimited renews at $29.99 per month if you don't cancel it. And if you are a new MLB.TV subscriber, you must register via the ESPN app. An ESPN Unlimited subscription is not required to maintain your MLB.TV subscription after the first free month. But as you may have noticed, they really, really want you to subscribe to ESPN Unlimited. And they're going to want you to stay."
ESPN and MLB.TV established a partnership that places MLB.TV alongside ESPN's new direct-to-consumer app, ESPN Unlimited, while selling MLB.TV as a separate add-on. Subscribers to ESPN Unlimited can purchase MLB.TV for $134.99 for the season. Non-subscribers can buy MLB.TV for $149.99 and receive a free month of ESPN Unlimited, which costs $29.99 per month or $299.99 per year and auto-renews if not canceled. New MLB.TV subscribers must register through the ESPN app. An ESPN Unlimited subscription is not required to keep MLB.TV after the first free month. Some providers already include ESPN Unlimited.
