Here's Exactly How to Watch Mariners Games on Your TV in 2026
The Mariners just dropped the full breakdown of which cable and satellite channels will carry their games across the Pacific Northwest this season, and if you're in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, or Alaska, this is what you need to know right now.
On Wednesday, the team announced the channel lineup for their home territory, and the good news is pretty straightforward: if you had Mariners games on your cable or satellite package last year, you're all set for 2026. No surprises here. But here's the thing, they're making it even easier to find exactly what you need.
Cable and Satellite Channel Guide
Depending on where you live in the region and which provider you use, the Mariners games will show up on different channels. Comcast/Xfinity subscribers in the Seattle area will find games on channel 1261. DirecTV users get channel 687. Charter/Spectrum varies by location, with Seattle-Tacoma, Medford-Klamath Falls, Portland, and Yakima-Kennewick on channel 414, while Billings, Butte-Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, and Missoula are on channel 130. Spokane gets 318 or 414.
Astound Broadband and Wave have their own breakdowns depending on your specific area, same with TDS in parts of Oregon and Idaho. More distributors are coming soon, so if your provider isn't listed yet, stay tuned.
The full channel finder by ZIP code and provider drops Thursday morning at Mariners.com/Watch, so you can dial in exactly what you need without the guesswork.
The New Streaming Option That Changes Everything
Here's what's actually new for 2026: Major League Baseball is now producing and distributing most local Mariners games, and the team created a brand new streaming service called Mariners.TV to go with it. No local blackouts for fans in the home territory. That's the big deal.
Want to stream? You've got options. The Seasonal Package runs $99.99. If you want Mariners.TV bundled with MLB.TV, that's $199.99 for the season. Monthly plans are available too: $19.99 for just Mariners.TV or $39.99 for the combo. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial, no credit card required, and you can cancel anytime. Just log in at MLB.com or use the MLB app.
For out-of-market fans outside the Pacific Northwest, nothing changes. You'll catch Mariners games the same way you always have through MLB.TV.
