How to Stream Padres Games on Padres.TV
In Market
💰 The Cheapest Long-Term:Padres.TV (7-day free trial)
🏆 The Best Cable Replacer:Fubo “Pro” (7-day free trial)
The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for ESPN games is a Sling Orange Day Pass for $5.
The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for Fox and FS1 games is Fox One for $20 per month.
The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for TBS games is HBO Max for $18.50.
Ultimately, that’s $100 for the entire season to watch a vast majority of Padres games.
If you add in six months of service for both Peacock & Apple TV, which will have plenty of Padres games and lots of MLB games in general, that’s another $144 total. However, if you time out various free trials, depending on when the Padres play those games, you may be able to lower that price a significant amount.
If you want to fully replace cable and watch as many Padres games as possible, FuboTV is the best option. Six months of service of Fubo “Pro” will cost you about $419 ($49 for the first month, then $74 per month after that) and includes Padres.TV, NBC, NBCSN, ESPN, Fox and FS1 among 200-plus other live-TV channels.
Out of Market
If the Padres play outside your market, and you live in the United States, here’s a step-by-step guide to watch every game for as cheap as possible:
Sign up for MLB.TV via ESPN to watch every out-of-market Padres game
This costs $30 per month or $150 for the season
This includes a one-month free trial of ESPN Unlimited, which you need when signing up.
After initial purchase, ESPN Unlimited subscription is not required to maintain MLB.TV subscription
If you want to avoid ESPN’s confusing sign-up process, sign up for MLB.TV via Fubo instead.
This costs $30 per month, so the full season (six months of service) will be $30 more expensive than ESPN’s option.
The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for ESPN games is a Sling Orange Day Pass for $5.
The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for Fox and FS1 games is Fox One for $20 per month.
The least expensive (non-free trial) alternative for TBS games is HBO Max for $18.50.
That’s $150 to watch most out-of-market Padres games this season.
It will then cost more to watch all of the nationally televised games throughout the year, though that number could drop a bit depending on how you time out the various free trials.
