Authorized DIRECTV Stream dealerWatch the Texas Rangers outside Dallas–Fort Worth
Moved away, or just a fan from afar? Here is exactly how Rangers games reach you when you live outside the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and what it costs.
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
