Finally: Where You're Actually Watching Mariners Games This Season
Good news for cord cutters and cable loyalists alike. The Mariners' TV situation got a little less chaotic this offseason, and we finally know exactly where to find every game this season. After ROOT Sports shut down following 2025, there was real uncertainty about how fans in the Emerald City would catch the action. But Seattle Sports insider Shannon Drayer just confirmed it: your games are coming through cable, and the channels are locked in.
Cable is Still Your Friend
On Xfinity, tune in to channel 1261 for Mariners broadcasts. If you're a Spectrum customer, head to channel 414. Other cable providers will get their own channel assignments announced soon, and a full channel finder drops Thursday at the official link. Bottom line: local cable isn't going anywhere. That's honestly a win for people who still want the traditional TV experience without hunting around for streams.
Your Other Viewing Options
Radio remains free and accessible as always. The Mariners Radio Network flagship is right here at Seattle Sports, and you can catch games on the Seattle Sports app if you're anywhere in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, or Alaska. If you want to stream games under the new "Mariners TV" branding, subscriptions are $99.99 for the full season or $19.99 monthly. Last year was the first year under MLB's streaming arm, and they're keeping the same model going this year.
Opening Night is Finally Here
The Mariners kick things off Thursday night at 7:10 p.m. at T-Mobile Park against the Cleveland Guardians. The team is coming off their first division title and American League Championship Series appearance in 24 years, which means expectations are way different than hope this time around. Mariners Radio Network pregame coverage starts at 6 p.m., and Seattle Sports is going all day with Brock and Salk, Bump and Stacy, and Wyman and Bob before first pitch. This is what we've been waiting for.
