Is Cubs at Padres blacked out on MLB.TV?
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.
