The Complete 2026 Mariners Streaming Playbook: Here's How to Catch Every Game From Anywhere
The Seattle Mariners are swinging for a World Series title in 2026, and if you can't make it out to T-Mobile Park, you've got more ways to watch than ever before. After ROOT Sports shut down following the 2025 season, MLB is taking the reins on local broadcasts, and honestly, the changes are pretty solid for us fans.
TV Just Got a Makeover (And Rick Rizzs Is Saying Goodbye)
Here's the big news: Mariners TV is replacing ROOT Sports, and Major League Baseball is now producing and distributing all local games in 2026. Aaron Goldsmith returns as the lead television announcer for his 14th season with the team. On the radio side, Rick Rizzs will lead the broadcast in what he's announced as his final year. That's huge. Rizzs, 72 years old and the longest-tenured broadcaster in Mariners history outside of a three-year stint with the Tigers from 1992 to 1994, is retiring after 2026. He was originally brought on in 1983 to pair with the legendary Dave Niehaus, and Rizzs will end a career of more than 40 years as the voice of our Mariners.
Joining Rizzs and Goldsmith on the broadcast team are Gary Hill Jr., Angie Mentink, Jay Buhner, Ryan Rowland-Smith, Dave Valle, and Brad Adam. All are returning for 2026.
Cable, Streaming, and Radio: Pick Your Poison
For cable and satellite viewers, the Mariners announced channels for two major providers: Comcast/Xfinity on Channel 1261 and Charter/Spectrum in the Seattle-Tacoma market on Channel 414. Other providers will be announced soon, and the team promises a full channel finder Thursday morning.
If you're streaming, Mariners.tv costs $99.99 for the full season or $19.99 monthly, and it's available to residents of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, Montana, and Hawaii. Want to bundle? Grab Mariners.tv plus MLB.tv for $199.99 for the season or $39.99 monthly. All packages include a seven-day free trial. Fans outside the Mariners regional viewing area can access games through standard MLB.tv. Just know that nationally broadcasted games won't be on the Mariners TV channel, so you'll need to tune into the specific channel for those broadcasts.
Radio fans can listen on 710 AM and its affiliates across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia. Radio broadcasts are also available on MLB.tv for subscribers.
This is it: your roadmap to following the Mariners all season long. Don't miss a moment.
