How to Watch Every Guardians Game for the Lowest Price
In Market
If you live in the Guardians market, here’s our recommendation on the best way to watch every game this season:
- Sign up for CleGuardians.TV
- This costs $20 for one month or $100 for the entire season.
- This will get you every nearly every Guardians game, with the exception of some nationally broadcast games.
- Or, the best live-TV alternative for local games is FuboTV‘s “Pro” package.
- For any games on Peacock, sign up for a free seven-day trial of Peacock “Premium Plus” via Prime Video.
- Alternatively, if the game is simulcast on NBC or NBCSN (most will be), you can watch with a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan” or Hulu + Live TV.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, the least expensive way to watch is Peacock “Premium” for $11 per month.
- For any games on Apple TV, sign up for a free -seven day trial of Apple TV via Prime Video or regular Apple TV.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, either option will cost you $13 for one month.
- For any games on ESPN, Fox, FS1 or TBS (that aren’t also on CleGuardians.TV), DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan” or Hulu + Live TV or Fox One.
- The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for ESPN games is a Sling Orange Day Pass for $5.
- The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for Fox and FS1 games is Fox One for $20 per month.
- The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for TBS games is HBO Max for $18.50.
Ultimately, that’s $100 for the entire season to watch a vast majority of Guardians games.
If you add in six months of service for both Peacock & Apple TV, which will have plenty of Guardians games and lots of MLB games in general, that’s another $144 total. However, if you time out various free trials, depending on when the Guardians play those games, you may be able to lower that price a significant amount.
If you want to fully replace cable and watch as many Guardians games as possible, FuboTV is the best option. Six months of service of Fubo “Pro” will cost you about $419 ($49 for the first month, then $74 per month after that) and includes CleGuardians.TV, NBC, NBCSN, ESPN, Fox and FS1 among 200-plus other live-TV channels.
Out of Market
If the Guardians play outside your market, and you live in the United States, here’s a step-by-step guide to watch every game for as cheap as possible:
- Sign up for MLB.TV via ESPN to watch every out-of-market Guardians game
- This costs $30 per month or $150 for the season
- This includes a one-month free trial of ESPN Unlimited, which you need when signing up.
- After initial purchase, ESPN Unlimited subscription is not required to maintain MLB.TV subscription
- If you want to avoid ESPN’s confusing sign-up process, sign up for MLB.TV via Fubo instead.
- This costs $30 per month, so the full season (six months of service) will be $30 more expensive than ESPN’s option.
- For any games on Peacock, sign up for a free seven-day trial of Peacock “Premium Plus” via Prime Video.
- Alternatively, if the game is simulcast on NBC or NBCSN (most will be), you can watch with a free trial of Fubo “Pro” or DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan” or Hulu + Live TV.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, the least expensive way to watch is Peacock “Premium” for $11 per month.
- For any games on Apple TV, sign up for a free -seven day trial of Apple TV via Prime Video or regular Apple TV.
- If you don’t have any free trials available, either option will cost you $13 for one month.
- For any games on ESPN, Fox, FS1 or TBS, sign up for a free trial of DirecTV Stream “Entertainment” or YouTube TV “Base Plan” or Hulu + Live TV or Fox One.
- The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for ESPN games is a Sling Orange Day Pass for $5.
- The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for Fox and FS1 games is Fox One for $20 per month.
- The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for TBS games is HBO Max for $18.50.
That’s $150 to watch most out-of-market Guardians games this season.
It will then cost more to watch all of the nationally televised games throughout the year, though that number could drop a bit depending on how you time out the various free trials.
