Forget ROOT Sports: Here's How to Watch the Mariners in 2026
The streaming game just changed for Seattle baseball fans, and honestly, it's a bigger deal than you might think. ROOT Sports is gone for good, and MLB just took over the whole broadcast operation. That means if you want to catch Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez this season, you need to know exactly where to find them online.
Mariners.TV Is Your New Best Friend
Starting right now, MLB is running the streaming show for 22 of the league's 30 teams, and yes, the Mariners are included. That means blackout-free streaming is finally available in market, and all you need is a subscription to Mariners.TV. This isn't some clunky workaround either. It's legit, it's official, and it's designed specifically for fans in the Club's Home Television Territory who want to watch games on their own terms.
What's It Going to Cost You?
MLB gave us options, which is refreshing. You can go full seasonal for $99.99, or if you want that plus access to the entire MLB.TV package, it's $199.99 for the year. If you're the month-to-month type, Mariners.TV runs $19.99 monthly, and bundling it with MLB.TV costs $39.99 per month. Here's the best part: every package comes with a 7-day free trial, so you can kick the tires before committing to anything.
Sign up at MLB.com or grab it on the MLB app through whatever devices you've got handy. Whether you're on your phone, tablet, or TV, you're covered.
No More ROOT, All Streaming Ahead
This is a complete shift from how things used to work in the Emerald City. ROOT Sports was the backbone of Mariners coverage for years, but those days are done. Now MLB is handling everything directly, which means better streaming infrastructure and no more of those frustrating blackout headaches that used to plague regional broadcasts. The 2026 season just got a lot more accessible for fans who want to watch every pitch without leaving home.
