After losing to the Phillies in the postseason last year, the Miami Marlins are back, but dealing with a list of injuries that have the team off to a slow start. Fans will want to stay tuned to see if the team can turn it around as the season progresses.
Luckily, with live TV streaming services, Marlins fans around the country can catch games. Local fans will want access to the regional sports network (RSN) for the Marlins, while out-of-market fans will want an MLB.TV subscription.
Local fans can watch many Marlins games on Bally Sports Florida, the RSN for the Marlins. Nationally aired games will be on Fox, ESPN and TBS.

DIRECTV STREAM is one of the best options for baseball fans, as it’s one of only two live TV streaming services that carries most RSNs. Subscribers will be able to watch nationally aired games on Fox, ESPN and TBS with the Entertainment package. However, you’ll have to upgrade to the Choice package or higher to get access to your local RSN and MLB Network. The channel lineup also includes NFL Network, NHL Network, NBA TV and more so you can keep watching sports after MLB season is over. All DIRECTV STREAM plans have unlimited DVR storage space.
Fubo is another platform that’s great for Miami Marlins coverage because it includes Bally Sports Florida for in-market subscribers on all plans. Note that you’ll have a regional sports fee of up to $14.99 added to your monthly subscription fee if you live in an area where an RSN is available. Fubo also includes Fox and ESPN, but is missing TBS. You’ll need an add-on to have MLB Network on your channel list.
While Hulu + Live TV does not have Bally Sports channels, the streaming service is still a good option for sports fans. In addition to channels for nationally aired MLB games including locals, MLB Network, TBS and ESPN, a Hulu + Live TV subscription also includes access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. Hulu + Live TV also has unlimited DVR space for all customers.
Sling TV is a budget-friendly streaming service with limited coverage for baseball fans. With Sling, you can choose between the Sling Orange or Sling Blue packages, or combine the two for a full channel lineup. The service only offers locals, including Fox, in a limited number of areas. However, you can watch the Marlins on ESPN and TBS and can add MLB Network with the Sports Extra add-on.
YouTube TV doesn’t have Bally Sports but with a subscription, you will be able to watch nationally aired games on ESPN, Fox and TBS. Looking for more sports coverage? Add the Sports Plus add-on for an additional monthly fee that includes NFL RedZone, Fox Soccer Plus, FanDuel TV and Fight Network.YouTube TV has unlimited DVR, so you’ll never need to miss a game.
Throughout the season, Apple TV+ will exclusively stream Friday night doubleheaders. You won’t need an Apple TV device to watch, just an Apple TV+ streaming subscription. The Miami Marlins aren’t on the calendar for this season, but this is a good option for fans who want to catch 16 games during the regular season.
Marlins fans who live outside of the Miami market can sign up for an MLB.TV subscription to catch locally aired games throughout the season. You can sign up directly through the MLB website or through Amazon Prime Video Channels.
Miami Marlins games air on Bally Sports Florida. Nationally aired games will be on ESPN, Fox, MLB Network and TBS.
