New York Mets

Based at Citi Field in America’s biggest sports market, the two-time champion New York Mets have been playing in the National League East Division ever since their establishment in 1962. Want to watch the New York Mets game tonight? Read on to find out how.

What Channel is the Mets Game on Tonight?

Most New York Mets games are featured on SportsNet New York (SNY). The regional sports network also features supplementary coverage of the New York Jets, as well as college sports from the region.

Whenever the Mets find themselves broadcast nationally, SNY will unfortunately not be able to carry the games. In these instances, the games will be shown on one of the following:

  • 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 - blackout restrictions apply for in-market fans.

How to Stream Mets Games Online

SportsNet New York can be streamed via the SNY app or website, but a provider login is required. If you do not have one, and want to stick to the television streaming side of things, then there are a couple of options to consider. DirectTV Stream and Hulu both include SNY in their extensive channel portfolios, as well as the national broadcasters you need to catch those all-important high-profile matchups. With either of those streaming services, you will be set up to watch New York Mets live on TV today, and every other day throughout the season.

If you are a die-hard fan who can't get enough MLB action, then why not invest in a MLB.TV subscription, which offers access to every single out-of-market MLB game live and on-demand. This is also a great option for Mets fans who live outside the region.

If you still haven't seen the right option for you, then why not pick one of these simpler, more flexible routes? These providers all air select games throughout the season. They also offer a long list of other sports and entertainment to keep you ticking over.

  • 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 Mets

The Mets played their first two seasons in the old Polo Grounds before moving into Shea Stadium where they would remain for 45 seasons until moving to their current home – Citi Field. The new home of the Mets is located right next to where Shea Stadium used to be (it was demolished). Citi Field now holds 41,922 fans for Mets’ games.

History of the Mets

The Mets never had a winning season until 1969 when they won their first division title. They went on to pull one of the biggest World Series upsets ever beating the Baltimore Orioles in five games. Overall, the Mets have won six division titles: 1969, 1973, 1986, 1988, 2006, and 2015. The Mets went on to win the NL pennant five times: 1969, 1973, 1986, 2000, and 2015. In addition to the 1969 World Series victory, the Mets won a MLB World Series crown in 1986. New York also made the postseason in 1999, 2000, and 2016 as an MLB wild card. One of the most well-known Mets players of all-time was pitcher Tom Seaver. In 1967, Seaver was the National League Rookie of the Year. He would go on to win three NL Cy Young Awards as the league’s best pitcher. In 1969, Seaver won a league-best 25 games, his first Cy Young, and led the Mets to the World Series. He was a 12-time All-Star and is one of just 24 men who have recorded 300 or more wins as a MLB pitcher. Needless to say, Seaver is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. After beginning his career in Los Angeles, catcher Mike Piazza came to the Mets in 1998. He would play just eight seasons with the Mets, but seven of his 12 All-Star selections came as a Met. He won four Silver Slugger Awards while in New York and led the Mets to the 2000 World Series, one in which they faced city rival, the New York Yankees. Piazza hit one of baseball’s iconic home runs on September 21, 2001. It was the first MLB game played in New York after the 9/11 attacks.
