Inside Dallas–Fort Worth versus everywhere else

In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, most Rangers games are on Rangers SportsNet (DIRECTV Stream channel 677), included with DIRECTV Stream Choice or MySports + MyHome Team. Outside that area the network is not sold, so the games move to MLB.TV.

  • Out of market: MLB.TV, $29.99 a month or $149.99 for the 2026 season
  • National games: FOX, FS1, TBS, NBC, ESPN and MLB Network on DIRECTV Stream
  • Playoffs: national broadcasts, no package needed

Rangers out-of-market questions

Straight answers. Anything else, ask our team.

Can I watch the Rangers if I live outside Dallas–Fort Worth?

Yes. Regular-season games are on MLB.TV ($29.99 a month or $149.99 for the 2026 season), and national games are on FOX, FS1, TBS, NBC, ESPN and MLB Network, all carried by DIRECTV Stream. Playoff games are national broadcasts wherever you live.

Is Rangers SportsNet available outside Dallas–Fort Worth?

Live Rangers games on Rangers SportsNet are only sold inside the Dallas–Fort Worth area, by ZIP code. Outside it, the DIRECTV Sports Pack may carry the network’s studio shows, but games follow league blackouts.

MLB.TV for the regular season plus a DIRECTV Stream package for the national games and playoffs. If you also follow a local team where you live, choose Choice or MySports + MyHome Team so its network is included too.
