How to Watch Las Vegas Athletics Games in 2026: Every Streaming and Broadcast Option
Where to watch Las Vegas Athletics games in 2026 — every local broadcast, streaming option, and out-of-market solution so you don't miss a pitch.
Baseball is a 162-game season. You're going to need multiple ways to watch.
Whether you're a Las Vegas resident, a fan somewhere else in the country, an Oakland expat trying to follow the team in its new home, or someone just getting into the A's for the first time — here is every way to watch Las Vegas Athletics games in 2026.
## Local Broadcast: Las Vegas Market
Athletics games in the Las Vegas market are available on the team's regional sports network. As of the 2025-26 season, the Athletics' local television deal determines which channel carries home and away games in the Vegas DMA.
Check your local cable/satellite provider for the current RSN (regional sports network) channel number in the Las Vegas area. RSNs operate under various brand names in different markets — the specific channel will depend on your provider.
Over-the-air broadcasts: Select games throughout the season are broadcast on major network affiliates (MLB on Fox, ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball). These games are available without cable or streaming subscriptions.
Nevada-specific note: If you're in the Las Vegas metro and subscribed to a major cable or satellite provider, the Athletics' regional broadcast should be part of your standard package. Contact your provider to confirm.
## National Broadcast Schedule
Several national broadcast windows carry regular season games:
- ESPN Sunday Night Baseball — one nationally televised game per week, rotating between teams. The Athletics will appear multiple times if they're competitive.
- MLB on Fox / FS1 — Saturday and Sunday afternoon broadcasts throughout the season.
- Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball — two games per Friday night, available free on Apple TV+ (no subscription required for these specifically designated games).
- Peacock — carries select Sunday morning games.
These national windows are the easiest way to catch the Athletics for fans outside the Las Vegas market without a streaming subscription.
## MLB.TV: The Out-of-Market Solution
MLB.TV is the official out-of-market streaming solution and the best option for fans who want to watch every game.
How it works: MLB.TV gives you access to all out-of-market games. The catch: blackout restrictions apply to local market games. If you're in Las Vegas, you're blacked out of the Athletics' regional broadcast on MLB.TV (you need the local broadcast for those). If you're outside the Las Vegas market, you can watch all Athletics games.
Pricing (2026): MLB.TV typically runs $130-150/year for a full-season subscription, or $25-30/month. A single-team subscription is available at a lower price if you only want to follow the Athletics.
Streaming on: Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, smart TVs, iOS, Android, web browsers. Cross-platform support is comprehensive.
Quality: 1080p HD streams are standard. Multiple camera angles and the option to disable local commentary (replace with away team broadcast) are features power users appreciate.
## Apple TV+: The Growing MLB Partner
Apple and MLB have an expanding partnership that goes beyond Friday Night Baseball. The Apple TV+ app is becoming an increasingly important part of accessing baseball, with additional game windows likely to be announced or expanded during the 2026 season.
Current Apple TV+ MLB content:
- Friday Night Baseball (two games per Friday, free with ad-supported Apple TV account)
- MLB.TV integration within Apple TV+ for subscribers
- The "Big Inning" live whip-around show during the season
Cost: Apple TV+ is $9.99/month or included with Apple One subscriptions.
## ESPN+
ESPN+ carries some out-of-market games and serves as the streaming home for ESPN's sports content. It's worth having for general sports coverage; specific Athletics game access is more limited than MLB.TV.
## Peacock
Peacock's MLB partnership includes Sunday morning games and some playoff content. For the regular season, the Athletics will appear on Peacock when scheduled for their Sunday morning window.
## The Radio Option (Underrated)
Athletics radio broadcasts are available on the team's flagship radio station in Las Vegas and nationally via the MLB app and Gameday Audio. For fans who've followed baseball on radio, the authentic experience of a great radio broadcast crew calling 162 games is genuinely special and doesn't require any streaming setup.
## Summary Table
| Option | Cost | Where | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local RSN | Cable/satellite included | Las Vegas market | Local fans with cable |
| MLB.TV | $130-150/year | Everywhere | Out-of-market fans watching every game |
| Apple TV+ Friday Baseball | Free (with free account) | Everywhere | Casual fans, select Friday games |
| National broadcasts (Fox, ESPN) | Free w/ antenna or cable | Everywhere | Marquee games |
| MLB app radio | $25-30/season | Everywhere | Radio fans, commuters |
## Attendance: Go to Games
For Las Vegas residents: the best way to experience the Athletics is in person. 162 games is a long season with plenty of accessible ticket prices, especially for midweek games. A baseball game is one of the best values in professional sports when you factor in the length and the atmosphere.
Check the official Athletics website for single-game tickets, group packages, and season ticket options. Opening series and bobblehead nights sell out faster than you'd expect — plan ahead for the games you most want to attend.
