The short answer: most Yankees games air on the YES Network. The full answer depends on the day — national TV, streaming exclusives, and blackout rules all factor in. Tap any section below for a deeper explainer.
The YES Network is the Yankees' regional sports network and the home of the vast majority of regular-season games. YES carries the bulk of the schedule each year, including nearly all home games and most road games that aren't picked up by a national broadcaster. It's available through most cable and satellite providers in the tri-state area, can be streamed via the YES app with a valid TV provider login, and is sold as an add-on channel on Amazon Prime Video for cord-cutters inside the Yankees' home market.
National rights holders pick up select Yankees games throughout the year. As of 2026, the lineup looks different than it did for the previous three decades. NBC and Peacock now carry Sunday Night Baseball (the package moved from ESPN after a 35-year run), MLB Sunday Leadoff, and the entire Wild Card round. ESPN shifted to a 30-game midweek package — primarily Monday and Wednesday nights — plus Jackie Robinson Day. FOX and FS1 handle Saturday afternoon and prime-time games, especially Yankees-Red Sox and other marquee matchups. TBS airs Tuesday Night Baseball during portions of the season and one Division Series in October. When a Yankees game airs nationally, it's typically blacked out on YES Network in favor of the national feed.
A growing share of Yankees games each season airs exclusively on streaming with no traditional cable or broadcast carriage. Apple TV hosts Friday Night Baseball doubleheaders every Friday from late March through September — an Apple TV subscription is required (these games used to be free; that ended after 2024). Peacock is now a primary national MLB carrier, with Sunday Night Baseball, MLB Sunday Leadoff, the Wild Card round, and one out-of-market game streamed daily; a Peacock Premium subscription is required. Netflix joined the rotation in 2026 with the Opening Night exclusive, the Home Run Derby, and the Field of Dreams Game. Amazon Prime Video streams select exclusive games for Prime subscribers and also sells the YES Network as a paid add-on in the NY market. This site flags streaming-only carriers prominently so you don't tune into YES only to find the game isn't there.
MLB enforces regional blackouts that prevent MLB.TV subscribers from watching their local team live. If you're inside the Yankees' home territory — roughly the New York tri-state area, including most of Connecticut and parts of northeast Pennsylvania — Yankees games are blacked out on MLB.TV and you'll need YES Network or a national broadcast to watch live. Replays unlock on MLB.TV shortly after the final out. VPN workarounds exist but violate MLB.TV's Terms of Service.
You don't need cable to watch the Yankees. The simplest paths today: subscribe to YES Network on Amazon Prime Video in the NY market for nearly the full schedule, or use a live-TV streaming bundle that carries YES (typically YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or FuboTV — availability changes frequently, confirm before subscribing). Add Peacock Premium for Sunday Night Baseball and Sunday Leadoff, Apple TV for Friday Night Baseball, ESPN's streaming tier for midweek national games, Netflix for the handful of MLB event games, and an MLB.TV single-team subscription if you're outside the NY blackout zone.
Every Yankees game is on the radio. The flagship English broadcast is WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM in New York. Spanish-language coverage runs on WADO 1280 AM. You can also stream every game on the MLB app with an MLB Audio subscription, which is significantly cheaper than MLB.TV.
