How To Watch MLB TV Blackout Games in USA and Canada

The MLB respects the rights of its official TV broadcasters and “blacks out” or restricts games happening within certain cities. Such games are not streamed live online using MLB Network apps, and are made available later. The issue is not really a big fuss though, it’s the way the MLB manages its broadcasting rights.

To avoid MLB game black outs, all you need is a Virtual Private Network that offers IP addresses for another US city for instance New York, New Jersey, Seattle, San Francisco etc. In case you are in Chicago and your team’s match gets blacked out, simply connect your VPN service to a VPN server in another US city (any city other than Chicago) and keep enjoying live streaming in full HD.

You can visit the official “Black Outs Info” page on MLB’s website. You can read through the proper policy statement and find out if there will be a blackout in your region by entering your post code on the page provided.

How To Watch MLB Game of the Day

All MLB TV At Bat apps and the website streaming service contains a featured match every week that is tagged “Game of the Day”. All premium subscribers get access to watch MLB Game of the Day automatically or they can choose to watch another game through the in app list of games being played. You can also watch all games happening on a particular day at the same time with MLB’s mosaic view feature.

One of my favorite features was the app feature that allows choosing home or away announcers. This way you can watch the game from the perspective of your favorite home announcers instead of listening to away commentators.

How To Watch MLB TV on Kodi

Since early 2016 the MLB TV At Bat official add-on was upgraded and added to both older &latest Kodi desktops. The add-on is available in the official Kodi.tv add-on repository and the erack naphobia repo, I recommend installing the add-on & updating through the Kodi Repository.
