BIslander - When it comes to enjoying Major League Baseball this season, we know how important it is to catch every pitch, inning, and big moment. Xfinity is here to help make that easy. With such a packed season I’m happy to share a quick refresher on the many ways you can follow your favorite teams and stay connected to all the action.
If you prefer watching MLB on TV, you can feel right at home with Xfinity TV. Nationally broadcast games are available on ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, and MLB Network with the Xfinity Popular TV package or higher. Regional games typically air on local broadcast channels, and customers can also explore the Xfinity Sports & News TV package for access to both national and regional coverage. For baseball fans, MLB Network is a standout destination, offering live games, expert analysis, and the latest news. You can add MLB Network to your X1 lineup with the More Sports & Entertainment Package, which also includes favorites like NFL RedZone, NBA TV, and CBS Sports. If you’ve added MLB Extra Innings to your X1 package, you’ll get up to 90 out‑of‑market games each week. These games are easy to find in the X1 guide or through the Xfinity Stream app, and you’ll also receive access to MLB.TV, allowing you to stream every out‑of‑market game live or On Demand on your favorite devices.
What makes it even better? Xfinity TV customers can stream games using the Xfinity Stream app, and many networks—such as ESPN and FOX—also offer their own streaming apps once you sign in with your Xfinity TV credentials. There are also several popular streaming services carrying MLB games, including some exclusive matchups:
MLB.TV: Stream out‑of‑market games, with select in‑market options available Peacock: Home to Sunday Night Baseball, Sunday Leadoff games, Opening Day, and the Wild Card round Apple TV+: Exclusive Friday Night Baseball games each week ESPN+: Weekday MLB games Netflix: Exclusive streaming for Opening Night, the Home Run Derby, and the Field of Dreams game
To stay on top of everything, Xfinity Sports Zone is a great all‑in‑one hub for scores, stats, news, and highlights. You can launch it quickly by saying “Sports Zone” into your X1 Voice Remote. Xfinity is the best way to watch. You can use your Voice Remote to jump straight to team‑specific content. Just say your team’s name to watch a live game or view upcoming matchups. For quick stats or updates, try commands like “Phillies stats,” “White Sox score,” or “Mariners schedule.” If you’d like help finding the best viewing option for your setup or favorite teams, we’re always here to help!

I get the Ms channel 1261 on my X1 boxes and on the Xfinity Stream app on other devices. So, no, an X1 box is not required
