How to Watch Dodgers Games: Your Complete Guide for 2026

Traditional TV Options

If you prefer the classic television experience, the Los Angeles Dodgers are primarily broadcast on Spectrum SportsNet LA. This regional sports network carries the majority of home games and can be accessed through most cable and satellite providers in Southern California. Outside the local market, national games are aired on MLB Network, ESPN, and occasionally on Fox Sports 1. Check your local listings for the exact channel numbers.

Streaming Services That Carry Dodgers Games

Streaming has become the most flexible way to catch every pitch. Below are the top platforms that offer live Dodgers coverage in 2026:

  • MLB.TV – The official MLB streaming service provides live out‑of‑market games and on‑demand replays. Note: Home games are blacked out in the Dodgers’ territory, so you’ll need a local TV subscription to lift the blackout.
  • Disney+ (with ESPN+ add‑on) – Streams national MLB games, including select Dodgers matchups that air on ESPN.
  • Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV, Sling TV, and fuboTV – All include Spectrum SportsNet LA in their channel line‑ups for viewers in California. Outside the region, these services give you access to the national broadcasts.

When choosing a streaming service, verify that the plan includes the relevant regional sports network or national channel for the Dodgers game you want to watch.

Mobile & On‑Demand Options

For fans on the go, the MLB At Bat app (available on iOS and Android) streams the same content as MLB.TV, subject to blackout restrictions. Additionally, many of the live‑TV services listed above offer dedicated mobile apps, allowing you to watch Dodgers games on smartphones, tablets, or even smart TVs.

Radio and Audio Streams

If video isn’t essential, tune in to the Dodgers’ flagship radio station, KLOS 95.5 FM, for live play‑by‑play. The broadcast is also available via the MLB Gameday Audio app and many podcast platforms.

Tips to Avoid Blackouts

1. Use a VPN only if it complies with MLB’s terms of service; otherwise, you may face service interruptions.
2. Pair MLB.TV with a local cable login to unlock home games in the Dodgers market.
3. Keep your streaming apps updated to ensure you receive the latest channel line‑ups and blackout notifications.

Conclusion

Whether you’re a die‑hard fan in Los Angeles or a West‑coast supporter watching from afar, there are multiple ways to watch Dodgers games in 2026. By combining traditional TV, streaming platforms, and mobile apps, you can stay connected to every home run, strikeout, and postseason moment. Choose the option that fits your lifestyle, and enjoy the excitement of Dodgers baseball wherever you are.
