"Dodgers fans and supporters of 19 other Major League Baseball clubs will now be able to stream their local teams' games without a cable subscription. "Each Club's in-market direct-to-consumer streaming option delivers all local games to subscribers located anywhere in the Club's home territory," the MLB said in a press release. "The service essentially removes local blackouts for these Clubs." The Dodgers' local broadcast rights are currently controlled by Spectrum, and the streaming is being handled through SNLA+, the company's Spectrum SportsNet LA digital service."
"For the Dodgers and five other teams, however, streaming is handled by the clubs' regional sports networks - Spectrum, in this case - and their prices are different. Streaming the Dodgers will cost you about $30 per month or $200 per year."
"We are proud of the award-winning production MLB has offered Clubs while increasing the reach of the games, enhancing production features, and offering greater access to the players and game. Additionally, we are listening to our fans who want blackouts eliminated. MLB's in-market streaming option allows us to remove a point of friction for the fans."
Fans of the Dodgers and 19 other Major League Baseball clubs can stream local games without a cable subscription through in-market direct-to-consumer services that deliver all local games within each club's home territory, effectively removing local blackouts. MLB handles production for most of the 20 teams and charges about $20 per month or $100 per season. For the Dodgers and five other clubs, regional sports networks operate streaming; Spectrum will run Dodgers streams through SNLA+ at about $30 per month or $200 per year. Nationally exclusive broadcasts on ESPN, NBC, Apple TV, or Peacock remain excluded from these local offerings.
