MLB.TV Goes Down on Baseball's Opening Day

Major League Baseball has dropped the ball for fans of America’s pastime: The league’s MLB.TV streaming service is down for thousands users, with the outage happening on the 2025 baseball season’s opening day Thursday.

As of 4:03 p.m. ET Thursday, there were more than 21,000 user complaints about the MLB.TV outage on uptime-monitoring service Downdetector.com. Most of the complaints (71%) were attributed to problems with the MLB.TV app.

Reps for MLB did not immediately respond to a request for more info.

Cubs, White Sox, Twins, KC, StL, the Brew Crew. Now all we get are the stinking White Sox.

Used to watch a game nearly every day. Haven't seen an MLB game in probably five years or more

a challenge, Auggie. Can I file an appeal? There must be some way to have this poor service overturned!

I’m in the Detroit Tigers market area, and Tigers games have always been blacked out, but for some reason today the Brewers vs Yankees game is blacked out (although radio broadcast is available). Bastards! I guess I’ve watched too many Brewers games over the years?

Hate their stupid blackout rules!
