Where to Watch the Seattle Mariners in Seattle, WA
Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
For Seattle Mariners fans living in Seattle, WA, navigating where to watch games requires understanding local broadcast rights and blackout rules. As Seattle is the Mariners' home market, in-market blackouts are a significant factor for out-of-market streaming packages. This means services like MLB.TV will black out live Mariners games if you are physically located within the Seattle broadcast territory. Your primary options for watching every game live will typically involve local broadcast television and regional sports networks (RSNs). Root Sports Northwest is the exclusive regional sports network for the Seattle Mariners, carrying the vast majority of their games. To access Root Sports Northwest, you'll generally need a cable or satellite TV subscription, or a live TV streaming service that includes it in its channel lineup. For nationally televised games, you might find Mariners matchups on Fox, ESPN, Apple TV+ (Friday Night Baseball), or Peacock (Sunday Leadoff).
