Baseball is back! But Arizona Diamondbacks fans will have to watch this season’s games on a new streaming service — at least for now. The Diamondbacks have announced games will be broadcast via DBACKS.TV, a new broadcast partnership agreement with Major League Baseball (MLB).
“We took time to weigh all of our broadcast options for the upcoming season and how they would each impact our fans,” said D-backs President, CEO & General Partner Derrick Hall in a statement. “MLB Media stepped in last year when we needed them to and ensured a seamless transition for all viewers. They reached more households than our prior partnership, improved production quality dramatically, and offered a top-of-the-line streaming product with no blackouts.”
AZ Family.com reports fans can watch the defending NL Champions with the DBACKS.TV package for $100 a year. MLB is also offering viewers a season-long MLB subscription that covers all teams for $200 a year.
DBACKS.TV launches this Saturday as the D-backs host the Colorado Rockies. Fans who sign up for the service will get five free spring training games. The dates are below:
- Saturday, Feb. 24 vs. Colorado Rockies
- Tuesday, March 5 vs. San Diego Padres
- Thursday, March 14 vs. Kansas City Royals
- Sunday, March 17 vs. Los Angeles Angels
- Monday, March 25 vs. Cleveland Guardians
The D-backs regular season kicks off on March 28 at home against the Rockies at 7:10 p.m.
