Baseball is officially back. For visually impaired listeners and audio enthusiasts, this is one of the best times of the year.

Unlike faster sports that rely heavily on visuals, baseball works perfectly on radio. The pace of the game allows broadcasters to become storytellers. A great announcer describes the field, the tension in the batter’s box, and the positioning of the defense. It creates a fully immersive experience built on sound alone.

However, finding games online can be frustrating. Because of digital broadcasting rights, local AM and FM stations often block their online streams during live games. When that happens, you need another way to listen.

Here are three of the most accessible ways to stream the 2026 MLB season.

1. TuneIn Premium

If you prefer simple voice commands, TuneIn Premium is one of the easiest options. It requires a monthly subscription but provides access to home and away radio feeds for every MLB game without blackouts.

Smart Speakers: After linking your account, ask, “Play the Tampa Bay Rays on TuneIn,” or “Play the New York Yankees game.”

2. MLB App Audio Subscription

The official MLB app offers an affordable audio-only subscription, usually around thirty dollars for the full season. It includes every team’s radio feed with no blackouts, and the app works well with screen readers.

Screen Readers: Download the MLB app, subscribe to the At Bat audio plan, and navigate to the daily scoreboard to choose your game.

3. SiriusXM

If you already subscribe to SiriusXM, you may already have access to every MLB game. Their streaming app and smart speaker integration provide reliable coverage and clear audio.

Smart Speakers: Ask, “Play MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM,” or request a specific team.

Screen Readers and Devices: Use the SiriusXM app or web player and navigate to the MLB section to find live games.

Final Thought

Baseball remains one of the best sports for radio. With the right setup, every pitch, hit, and call can be experienced through sound alone.
