Frequently asked questions
What channel is the Guardians game on tonight?
It depends on the night. Cleveland Guardians games on this page show the exact channel or stream for each one — upcoming games are carried by TBS/HBO MAX. Local games air on the in-market channel or club stream; national games move to TBS/HBO MAX.
What time do Guardians games start?
First pitch varies by day — weeknight Guardians games usually start in the evening and weekend games often start in the afternoon, local to the ballpark. Every game listed here shows its start time in US Eastern, and the full schedule converts times to your own time zone automatically.
How can I watch Cleveland Guardians games without cable?
Live-TV streaming services (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Sling) carry many of the channels that show Guardians games, national games stream on services like ESPN, Apple TV, Peacock and HBO Max depending on the package, and out-of-market Guardians games are available through MLB.TV. Tap the carrier next to any game on this page to go straight to it.
Are Cleveland Guardians games blacked out on MLB.TV?
In the Guardians' home television territory, yes — MLB.TV is an out-of-market product: live out-of-market regular-season games are included, but games are blacked out in each club's home television territory, where they air on that club's in-market channel or stream instead. Nationally exclusive games (for example FOX Saturday games) are also blacked out on MLB.TV. Audio for all 30 clubs is blackout-free. As of 2026, ESPN sells and distributes MLB.TV, and it is also available through MLB's own platforms.
