With up to 90 live games available each week, you'll never have to miss your favorite team's crucial matchups, regardless of where you live.

One of the package's standout features is the MLB Game Mix on Channel 720, which allows viewers to watch up to eight games simultaneously. This feature is perfect for fantasy baseball enthusiasts who need to keep tabs on multiple games or for those action-packed days when several crucial matchups are happening at once.

Flexible Payment Options

Understanding that fans have different budgeting needs, DIRECTV has structured the payment system to be as accommodating as possible. Customers can choose between a single payment of $150 or spread the cost over six payments of $25 each. This flexibility makes it easier for baseball enthusiasts to fit this premium sports package into their entertainment budget.

Beyond Just Games

The MLB Extra Innings package isn't just about access to games – it's a complete baseball entertainment system. Subscribers get access to several dedicated channels that enhance the viewing experience:

• Channel 213 (MLB Network) serves as your headquarters for everything baseball, featuring MLB Tonight, live regular-season games, and comprehensive coverage of all things MLB

A Season-Long Commitment

The package is designed to automatically renew for the next season, ensuring dedicated fans don't have to worry about missing the start of future seasons. However, customers maintain the flexibility to cancel if their viewing needs change.

Technology that Enhances the Experience

DIRECTV has implemented HD equipment requirements to ensure viewers get the highest quality experience possible. The interactive functionality allows fans to dive deeper into statistics, check scores from other games, and enhance their overall viewing experience.

Perfect for Different Types of Fans

• A baseball enthusiast who wants to watch every important game of the season
• Someone who enjoys following multiple teams throughout the year

The MLB Extra Innings package provides the coverage you need to stay connected to America's pastime.

Important Considerations

While the package offers extensive coverage, potential subscribers should note that actual game availability may vary based on market and blackout rules. It is recommended to check the blackout restrictions in your area to understand exactly which games will be available to you. Go to support.mlb.com/s/article/Check-for-Local-Blackouts. Select “Check for Local Blackouts” and enter your zip code. A  list of clubs whose live, regular-season games are subject to blackouts in your area will appear.

You can also contact us at 1-855-690-9884 We can look up your exact location and explain which games would be blacked out.

It's important to check this before subscribing because blackout rules can significantly impact which games you'll be able to watch. For example, if you live in New York, you likely won't be able to watch Yankees or Mets games through MLB Extra Innings, as these would be considered "in-market" games and would be available through your local regional sports networks instead.

Blackout rules exist to protect local broadcasting rights, so generally:

• All games for your local team(s) will be blacked out
• National broadcasts (like ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball) are typically blacked out on MLB Extra Innings
• Postseason games are not included in the MLB Extra Innings package

Additionally, while the MLB App and MLB.TV streaming options provide fantastic flexibility, they do require compatible devices and may incur additional data charges depending on your service provider.

The Bottom Line

For baseball fans, DIRECTV's MLB Extra Innings package represents one of the most comprehensive ways to experience the 2025 MLB season. With flexible payment options, multiple viewing platforms, and access to up to 90 out-of-market games weekly, it's an investment in six months of premium baseball entertainment.

The combination of traditional satellite viewing options with modern streaming capabilities ensures that whether you're at home or on the go, you'll never have to miss a meaningful moment of baseball action. With the season starting on March 27, now is the perfect time to step up to the plate and enhance your baseball viewing experience with DIRECTV's MLB Extra Innings package.
