A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, there is a separate local in-market subscription sold inside the MLB app (~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season) that is blackout-free. Games exclusive to national partners (Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN) are not on MLB.TV — that’s not a blackout, they simply aren’t part of the package. No public MLB.TV blackout map exists for Latin American countries.
