Finally: Where You're Actually Going To Watch Mariners Games This Season
Alright, so ROOT Sports is gone, and yeah, that was weird for a minute. But here's the good news: the M's aren't disappearing from your cable box. Seattle Sports insider Shannon Drayer confirmed this week that Mariners games will stay right there on your local cable lineup in the Seattle/Tacoma area, and now we know exactly where to find them.
Your Cable Channel Guide
On Xfinity, you're hunting for channel 1261. Spectrum folks, that's channel 414. Mark those down because opening day is Thursday night at T-Mobile Park, and you're going to want to tune in for what could be a massive season. Other cable distributors will announce their channel placements soon, and a full channel finder drops Thursday if you need to track down your specific provider.
Radio and Streaming Still in the Mix
If you're the radio type, you're good. Mariners Radio Network broadcasts air free from the Seattle Sports flagship station, and the Seattle Sports app streams games all season long for anyone in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, and Alaska. No charge.
Then there's the streaming option under the new "Mariners TV" branding. It'll run you $99.99 for the whole season or $19.99 a month if you want to test drive it.
The Stakes Are Different This Year
This isn't just another random Thursday night. The Mariners are coming off their first division title and ALCS appearance in 24 years. This team has actual expectations now, not just hope. And they kick things off at 7:10 p.m. Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians right here at T-Mobile Park.
Coverage starts at 6 p.m. with the pregame show on Mariners Radio Network, but if you're downtown all day, Seattle Sports has you covered with Brock and Salk (6 to 10 a.m.), Bump and Stacy live from the park (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), and Wyman and Bob broadcasting from Hatback across the street (2 to 6 p.m.).
Find your channel, get locked in, and let's go win another one.
