Your Complete Guide to Catching Every Mariners Game in 2026 (And Where to Find Them)
Opening Day is almost here, and you're going to want to know exactly where to tune in. The Mariners have bigger expectations this season than they've had in years, and fans everywhere are scrambling to figure out how to actually watch the team. Good news: we finally have the full breakdown on TV channels, streaming options, and everything else you need to catch every pitch.
Cable: The Traditional Route
If you're still rocking cable in the Seattle/Tacoma area, you're in luck. Mariners games will air on both Xfinity and Spectrum, and now we've got the exact channels locked in. Grab your remote and punch in channel 1261 for Xfinity or channel 414 for Spectrum. If you're a DirecTV person, the games should still land on channel 687. If you had access to Mariners games before, you should still have them in your package. Just remember: these channels are only live during actual game time, so don't panic if you tune in and see nothing between games.
Streaming and Everything Else
Not a cable person? You've got options. In-market fans can stream games through Mariners.TV, while out-of-market viewers can catch everything on MLB.TV just like always. Here's a pro tip: T-Mobile subscribers get free MLB.TV access through March 31st by downloading the T-Life app. Want to watch on your smart TV? Download the MLB app and access the games directly, or plug in an Amazon Fire Stick or Chromecast through your HDMI port if that feels easier.
And hey, if you're old school and miss the magic of a radio broadcast, Seattle Sports 710 has you covered with all your favorite radio voices, including Rick Rizzs in his final season.
The National Broadcasts You Can't Miss
A handful of games get special treatment this year. Two games air exclusively on Apple TV's "Friday Night Baseball" (March 27th vs. the Guardians at 6:45 PT and May 1st vs. the Royals at 6:45 PT). Four games land on Peacock's Sunday Night Baseball coverage (March 29th vs. the Guardians at 4 PT, May 17th Padres at Mariners at 4 PT, July 5th Blue Jays at Mariners at 5 PT, and August 16th Mariners at Astros at 4 PT). There's also a pair on ESPN Unlimited (April 11th vs. the Astros and April 14th at the Padres). Plus, TBS picks up the March 31st Yankees game, while FOX/FS1 gets several matchups throughout the season.
All dates are subject to change, so stay locked in. Let's go get 'em.
