MLB.TV price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), MLB.TV's primary consumer path is through ESPN: seasonal MLB.TV lists about $149.99/season (ESPN Unlimited subscribers often see $134.99), and monthly options at $29.99. In-season remaining-season prices can be lower - Confirm the live total on ESPN/MLB checkout. Cancel auto-renew in ESPN Profile → Account → Subscriptions → Manage Subscription, or in MLB Manage Subscriptions / the store if that path bills you (MLB Support: How to Cancel).
Cancelling a free ESPN Unlimited trial month does not automatically cancel MLB.TV. Uninstalling the ESPN or MLB app does not cancel. Blackouts apply.
2026 moved many MLB.TV purchases onto ESPN. Match the statement to ESPN, MLB, Apple or Google before you cancel.
