Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
For Pittsburgh Pirates fans living in Minneapolis, catching every game live can be a bit of a challenge, but GridCast is here to help you navigate your options. As an out-of-market fan, you'll find that many national streaming services carry MLB games, including ESPN+, Peacock, and Apple TV+ for select matchups. However, the most reliable way to watch all Pirates games without local blackouts is often through MLB.TV, which provides access to out-of-market games. Be aware that local regional sports networks (RSNs) in Pittsburgh will be blacked out on MLB.TV in your area, meaning you won't see games that are broadcast locally in Pittsburgh. If you prefer a communal viewing experience, many sports bars across Minneapolis are equipped to show MLB games, especially if you ask them to tune into a specific broadcast. GridCast simplifies this by helping you pinpoint exactly where and how to watch the Pirates, ensuring you never miss a pitch, whether you're streaming from home or cheering with fellow fans.
