Unlike the regular season, the streaming landscape for the postseason is much less centralized. Even with an MLB.TV subscription, fans will only have access to the radio broadcast without linking a separate paid television subscription. 

The channels that will be broadcasting postseason games through MLB.TV are ESPN, TBS, FOX, and FS1. Furthermore, not every channel has the broadcast rights for every round of the playoffs.

• Wild Card Round
  • ABC
  • ESPN
  • ESPN2
• NLDS/NLCS/World Series
  • FOX
  • FS1
• ALDS/ALCS
  • TBS

If you have an MLB.TV subscription and wish to link your streaming service of choice, note that not all providers have this option available. Major networks like DIRECTV, DISH, FuboTV, Cox, and Spectrum are great nationwide candidates for this option. Similarly, other regional providers like Armstrong, Blue Ridge Communications, and Midco are also valid partners if you’re in their service area. The complete list of valid subscriptions that can be linked to MLB.tv can be found here.

If you don’t have an MLB.TV subscription or simply don’t care about linking streaming platforms, any service that contains the channels listed above will work.

None of the Brewers’ games will be broadcast on TBS since they only have the broadcast rights for the AL side of the bracket and only the opening series against the Mets will be on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2. Sling TV, Youtube TV, and Fubo have both Fox and FS1 while Hulu TV only carries Fox.

• Sling TV: $40/month ($20 w/ first month promotion)
• Youtube TV: $72.99/month
• Fubo TV: $59.99/month
• Hulu TV: $82.99/month
