MLB.TV Announces 2023 Price Increase, Along with Minor League Games, Pre and Post-Game Coverage, New Features
With the Major League Baseball season rapidly approaching, the league’s out-of-market streaming service has announced its initial pricing for the season and a host of new features that it will be rolling out. With spring training underway, it is time for fans of America’s Pastime to get ready to stream their favorite team’s games on MLB.TV all spring and summer long.
How Much Will MLB.TV Cost for the 2023 Season?
The packages that the ground-breaking streamer is offering include a $10 price increase for full-year plans. If you want to stream every game not available on TV in your market, it will cost $149.99 this season compared to $139.99 in 2022.
However, if you are only interested in following just your favorite squad, there is a Single Team option available $129.99, up from $119.99 a year ago. In addition, MLB.TV is offerings a $24.99 monthly option. Since the plan runs through October, if you signed up now to watch the over 250 spring training games, this subscription option would cost $199.92, but it would give you the ability to unsubscribe if your team fell out of contention by mid-season.

What Features and Additional Content Will MLB.TV Include This Season?
Other new features being rolled out include the new Gameday Mode, which allows users of select connected devices to access advanced data and pitch-by-pitch analysis of the game they’re watching.
