Find where to watch Boston Red Sox on TV

Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are one of the most valuable and well-known MLB franchises, operating in the American League East Division, and playing their games at Fenway Park. With a die-hard fanbase both at home and across the globe, we are making things as simple as possible for everyone, giving you all the information you need to know about catching Red Sox games live on TV and online streaming platforms.

What Channel is the Red Sox Game on Tonight?

For fans at home, the majority of Boston Red Sox games are broadcast on New England Sports Network (NESN), which is the official regional sports network covering Red Sox (and Boston Bruins) games throughout the region.

For games aired nationally, which happens a fair bit for a team as big as the Red Sox, you can tune into any of the following networks, depending on the schedule:

• ESPN: Select nationally broadcast MLB games and Sunday Night Baseball
• TBS: Tuesday Night MLB games throughout the regular season.
• FOX: 20 Saturday late afternoon or evening games, and four Thursday night games
• MLB Network: 26 MLB Network Showcase games

Please be aware, though, that MLB Network games are also carried by the regional sports networks of the featuring teams, which means blackout restrictions will occur if you are in the region. If you are looking for information on the Boston Red Sox game tonight, look no further than our MLB page.

How to Stream Red Sox Games Online

The good news for Red Sox fans is that NESN is one of the regional sports networks that you can stream without a cable or streaming provider, through their NESN 360 streaming service. This will give you access to all Red Sox games, and everything else showcased on the network.

This will not, however, carry the nationally broadcast games. If you are looking for a more comprehensive upgrade to your TV streaming experience, then Fubo or DirecTV Stream are your best options, as they carry NESN within their extensive channel portfolios, as well as the national broadcasters that you need to catch the rest of the Red Sox schedule.

For die-hard fans of MLB in general, it doesn’t get much better than MLB.TV, the ultimate MLB streaming service. This platform gives fans access to every single out-of-market game, with on-demand access as well. While fans won’t be able to tune in live to their in-market games, full replays of these will be uploaded shortly after.

For fans who don’t want to commit to that much MLB action, then there are several other streaming services to consider, which offer access to a good collection of MLB games throughout the season, along with a wide array of other sports and entertainment.

• ESPN+: One out-of-market game per day throughout the regular season
• Roku: MLB Sunday Leadoff - Broadcasting early Sunday afternoon games during the regular season
• Fox Sports App: Stream any games shown on FOX, but requires a TV provider login.
• TBS Sports App: Stream Tuesday night games on TBS.
• Apple TV+: Stream Friday Night Baseball exclusive games

Home of the Red Sox

It is the oldest active ballpark in major league baseball. Built in 1912, Fenway Park was rebuilt in 1934 and has undergone numerous renovations and expansions through the years. Fenway is best known for the “Green Monster,” the wall in left field that is just 310 to 315 feet from home plate but is over 37 feet high.

Fenway Park is one of the smallest stadiums in MLB and one of eight that seats fewer than 40,000 spectators. Seating at Fenway for a day game is 37,305 and for a night game is 37,755.

History of the Red Sox

Boston’s championship history is rich and filled with much success. In the early days of the American League, Boston won six of its 14 AL pennants before 1920. They won five MLB World Series titles before 1920.

The franchise claims 10 AL East division titles – 1975, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1995, 2007, 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The team has also been an MLB wild card on seven occasions (1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009).

Boston’s most recent World Series victory came in 2018, the franchise’s ninth (1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, 2007, 2013, 2018).

Throughout their long history, 31 players with affiliation to Boston have been enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. There have been many Red Sox greats. Among the notable was the legendary Ted Williams. He played his entire 19-year career in Boston and was an All-Star selection in all 19 seasons. Considered the game’s greatest hitter, Williams is the last MLB player to have a batting average over .400 in a single season. He won the AL MVP twice, was a six-time AL batting champion, and a two-time Triple Crown winner.

Carl Yastrzemski is one of two MLB players to play 23 seasons with the same team (Baltimore’s Brooks Robinson was the other). Yaz, as he was known to teammates, was an 18-time All-Star, won seven Gold Gloves for his play in left field. He won the AL batting crown three times and was the AL MVP in 1967. That’s the same year he won the Triple Crown.

Jim Rice played all 16 of his MLB seasons in Boston. He was an eight-time All-Star, led the AL in home runs three times, and was the AL MVP in 1978. Like Williams and Yastrzemski, Rice is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
