Watching sports in 2026 hasn't just become incredibly complicated; it's also wildly expensive. Fortunately, T-Mobile remains undefeated in the streaming lineup department and this deal is proof. For the third year in a row, select T-Mobile customers can secure an MLB regular season subscription to MLB.TV for free.

From March 24 through March 31, any T-Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile customer on qualifying branded monthly rate plans can claim their free MLB.TV subscription for the 2026 season — a $149.99 value. To claim your free MLB.TV subscription, you'll need to install and open the T-Life app, then select the MLB.TV tile to get to the detail page. Click "Save," which will take you to the redemption page, then "Redeem" to get to the MLB.TV registration page. Then you'll either login to your existing MLB.TV account or register for a new one before being routed to the confirmation page. Once logged in, just click on "Watch Now" and enjoy the entire season of out-of-market baseball games.

There's a few things to note. MLB.TV's All Teams season package gives you access to every out-of-market game, but blacks out your local team. So, this deal is only worth it if you want to watch a team (or teams) that lives in a different region than you. Check which games are blacked out for you by entering your zip code on the sign-up page. You'll need a separate single-team subscription to watch your local team ($99.99 per season).

If you live in a different area than your favorite team, or you like to watch a variety of teams, this is your best bet to getting the most bang for your buck for baseball season. No matter which way you slice it, nothing beats free streaming.
