To watch a Boston Red Sox game, several options are available depending on location and device:
- If in New England, NESN (New England Sports Network) is the official broadcaster. NESN games can be streamed live via the NESN 360 app or NESN.com by subscribing for about $20/month annually or $29.99 monthly. NESN 360 offers home games in 4K and full pre/postgame shows. Access requires living in New England (excluding Fairfield County) and a TV provider subscription or direct subscription to NESN 360.
- Without cable, popular streaming services like DirecTV Stream, FuboTV, and Sling TV offer NESN as part of their sports packages enabling live Red Sox stream options, typically ranging from $69.99 to $89.99/month depending on the package.
- For viewers outside New England, MLB.TV via Prime Video streams live Red Sox matchups, plus additional pregame/postgame content. MLB.TV costs about $29.99/month but has regional blackout restrictions for local games which can be bypassed with a VPN.
- Some Red Sox games also air on national networks like ESPN (Sunday Night Baseball), Fox (over-the-air), and ESPN’s streaming platforms.
- YouTube TV also offers live streaming of Red Sox games through their sports channels with a free trial option.
In summary, the best way to watch depends on geographic location and preferred streaming method: NESN or NESN 360 for New England fans, MLB.TV or streaming services with NESN for others, and national broadcasts for select games.
