The race for the Major League Baseball season play-offs is up and running.
It seems a long way off now but this is where you set the foundations for a successful campaign.
The teams that have started fast will be wary that the MLB is a marathon and not a sprint, with all 30 teams set to play 162 matches before we even reach the postseason.
The cream always rises to the top ahead of the postseason but that is still a long way off.
Whether you've been attracted to the sport by the dramatic events of the World Baseball Classic or you've been a diehard fan for years, the good news is that viewers in the UK can tune in to regular coverage of the new MLB season.
Radio Times brings your complete guide to watching the MLB in the UK in 2026, featuring a full TV schedule of games coming up.
When is the MLB 2026 season?
The MLB 2026 season begins on Wednesday 25 March – though the first match begins very early on the morning of Thursday 26 March for fans in the UK.
The regular season runs until Sunday 27 September, with the postseason set to get under way on Tuesday 29 September, and the start of the World Series set for Friday 23 October.
How to watch MLB 2026 on TV and live stream in the UK
TNT Sports are the main TV broadcaster for the MLB in the UK and will show select games live, while Apple TV will also provide coverage.
You can watch TNT Sports with a monthly pass or via discovery+ on Amazon Prime Video on a monthly basis without signing up to a contract.
Regular subscribers can also stream the action on a variety of devices, including laptops, smartphones and tablets.
HBO Max, which launches on Thursday 26 March, is the new streaming home of TNT Sports, showing events including live MLB, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Premiership Rugby, UFC, Boxing, and MotoGP.
Apple TV costs £9.99 per month but new customers can get a 7-day free trial, while there are plenty of offers available as well.
Fans in the UK can also sign up to watch matches on MLB.tv. The subscription is $149.99 per season and also allows viewers to watch replays of games on demand.
Select games were available on free-to-air on the BBC last season. It remains to be seen whether that will be the case in 2026, though the MLB London Series fixtures are expected to be shown by the public service broadcaster.
