HOW TO WATCH THE YANKEES

YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO EVERY BROADCAST

The short answer: most Yankees games air on the YES Network. The full answer depends on the day — national TV, streaming exclusives, and blackout rules all factor in. Tap any section below for a deeper explainer.

YES NETWORK

Primary Yankees channel. Most regular-season games. Available on cable, satellite, YES app (TV provider login), and as an Amazon Prime Video add-on in the NY market.

ESPN / ESPN2

Sunday Night Baseball plus select weeknight national games. Stream on ESPN+ or ESPN.com with a cable login.

FOX / FS1

Saturday national broadcasts and marquee matchups. Stream on FOXSports.com or the FOX Sports app with a TV provider login.

APPLE TV+

Friday Night Baseball doubleheaders. Free on the Apple TV app for select games — no subscription required.

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

Select exclusive games for Prime members. Also carries YES Network as a paid add-on in the NY market.

MLB.TV

Every out-of-market game, live and on-demand. Local blackouts apply — best for fans outside the NY tri-state.

YES Network — the home base

The YES Network is the Yankees' regional sports network and the home of the vast majority of regular-season games. YES carries the bulk of the schedule each year, including nearly all home games and most road games that aren't picked up by a national broadcaster. It's available through most cable and satellite providers in the tri-state area, can be streamed via the YES app with a valid TV provider login, and is sold as an add-on channel on Amazon Prime Video for cord-cutters inside the Yankees' home market.

National broadcasts (ESPN, FOX, TBS)

National rights holders pick up select Yankees games throughout the year. ESPN carries Sunday Night Baseball and select weeknight games. FOX/FS1 handle Saturday afternoon and prime-time games, especially Yankees-Red Sox and other marquee matchups. TBS airs Tuesday night games during portions of the season and shifts to postseason coverage in October. When a Yankees game airs nationally, it's typically blacked out on YES Network in favor of the national feed.

Streaming-exclusive games (Apple, Amazon, Peacock)

Several Yankees games each season air exclusively on streaming with no traditional TV broadcast. Apple TV+ hosts Friday Night Baseball doubleheaders, free on the Apple TV app. Amazon Prime Video streams select exclusive games for Prime subscribers. Peacock has historically carried Sunday morning exclusives. This site flags streaming-only carriers prominently so you don't tune into YES only to find the game isn't there.

Blackout rules — what they actually mean

MLB enforces regional blackouts that prevent MLB.TV subscribers from watching their local team live. If you're inside the Yankees' home territory — roughly the New York tri-state area, including most of Connecticut and parts of northeast Pennsylvania — Yankees games are blacked out on MLB.TV and you'll need YES Network or a national broadcast to watch live. Replays unlock on MLB.TV shortly after the final out. VPN workarounds exist but violate MLB.TV's Terms of Service.

Cord-cutter playbook

You don't need cable to watch the Yankees. The simplest paths today: subscribe to YES Network on Amazon Prime Video in the NY market for nearly the full schedule, or use a live-TV streaming bundle that carries YES (typically YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or FuboTV — availability changes frequently, confirm before subscribing). Add ESPN+ for ESPN games, the free Apple TV app for Friday Night Baseball, and an MLB.TV single-team subscription if you're outside the NY blackout zone.

Radio — English & Spanish

Every Yankees game is on the radio. The flagship English broadcast is WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM in New York. Spanish-language coverage runs on WADO 1280 AM. You can also stream every game on the MLB app with an MLB Audio subscription, which is significantly cheaper than MLB.TV.

Carrier lineups change season to season — we keep this page updated with the broadcast pulled directly from MLB's official feed for each game.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

What channel are the Yankees on tonight?

It depends on the day. Most games air on the YES Network, but select games are picked up by ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, or streaming platforms like Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video. This site shows you the exact channel for every upcoming game in real time, pulled directly from the official MLB schedule, so you always know where to tune in.

How can I watch the Yankees without cable?

Several options exist for cord-cutters. Amazon Prime Video now offers the YES Network as a paid add-on channel in the New York market. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV all include YES Network in their channel lineups. For games outside your market, MLB.TV streams every out-of-market game. Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball games are free with no subscription needed. You can also listen to every game on the MLB app with an MLB Audio subscription.

What is the YES Network and how do I get it?

The YES Network is the official regional sports network of the New York Yankees. It airs the majority of regular season games along with pre-game and post-game coverage, Yankees magazine shows, and classic game replays. YES is available through most cable and satellite providers in the tri-state area including Optimum, Verizon Fios, Spectrum, Xfinity, and DirecTV. It's also available as a streaming add-on through Amazon Prime Video.

Why is tonight's game not on YES Network?

When a game is selected for national broadcast on ESPN, FOX, FS1, or TBS, or is an exclusive streaming game on Apple TV+ or Amazon Prime Video, it's typically blacked out on YES Network. National exclusivity means only one network carries the game. Check the channel badges on each game listing above to see exactly which network has tonight's broadcast.

Can I watch Yankees games on MLB.TV?

Yes, but with a major caveat. MLB.TV is designed for out-of-market fans. If you're within the Yankees' blackout territory (the New York tri-state area), Yankees games will be blacked out on MLB.TV and won't be available until after the game ends. If you live outside this area, MLB.TV is an excellent way to watch every Yankees game live. A single-team subscription option is also available at a lower cost than the full package.

What are MLB blackout restrictions?

MLB blackout rules prevent you from watching your local team's games on MLB.TV during the live broadcast. Each team has a defined home territory, and if your location falls within that territory, you're "in market" and must watch through the regional sports network (YES for the Yankees) or a national broadcast. The Yankees' blackout territory covers New York, Connecticut, northeast Pennsylvania, and parts of North Jersey. After the game concludes, the replay becomes available on MLB.TV.

What radio station are the Yankees on?

Yankees games are broadcast on WFAN 660 AM and 101.9 FM in the New York market. The radio broadcast team calls every game of the season, home and away. Spanish-language coverage is available on WADO 1280 AM. You can also listen to any MLB game through the MLB app with a paid MLB Audio subscription, which costs significantly less than MLB.TV.

Where does this site get its data?

All schedule, score, standings, and broadcast data comes from the official MLB Stats API, the same source that powers MLB.com. Weather forecasts for home games at Yankee Stadium are provided by Open-Meteo. Lineup data is pulled from the official game feeds. Data refreshes automatically throughout the day and you can manually refresh at any time using the refresh button in the footer.
