According to a detailed announcement on the team website, “With the new ROOT SPORTS Stream app, you can watch all Mariners games airing on ROOT SPORTS and additional live station programming; no blackouts and no cable or satellite subscription needed.” The service is available to fans residing in the Mariners television territory as defined by Major League Baseball, which includes Washington, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, and most of Idaho.
With Seattle’s addition, they become the 14th team to offer a direct-to-consumer option this offseason, joining teams like the Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, and others. As of now, the Mariners are the 27th team overall to provide a DTC option, leaving only three MLB teams—the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, and Houston Astros—without one.
