Baseball has always struggled between holding on to the past and evolving for the future. A great example of that is streaming games. San Diego Padres fans can’t always be at the game but don’t want to miss the action. And the fact remains that cable subscribership is plummeting. In 2023, for the first time, cord-cutters outnumber pay TV households.

Fortunately, it being 2023, there are plenty of modern ways to watch your favorite teams play without having to leave the comfort of your home. (Or also by leaving your home and watching at a bar.) In this guide, we’ll show you where to stream baseball games live online without cable and how to find the best streaming service platforms available.

Streaming Padres games on the MLB App

The technology is there and the games are being broadcast on the MLB.TV app without cable… but Padres games will be blacked out for the local market. Update: With this new streaming option, MLB is able to lift the blackout for Padres games that were previously distributed on Bally Sports San Diego. However, please be aware that certain regular season, special event, and postseason games may still be subject to blackout restrictions due to Major League Baseball’s national exclusivities.

Do not confuse this with the standalone MLB Ballpark App for navigating your experience at the stadium.

If all this modern streaming technology is making your head fry, you can also go old school and listen on the Padres radio network.
