It won't show up until March. I think I have subscribed to it in the past around March 15.

They usually have a free preview the first week of the season. I usually wait until it's over to sub.

True. I haven't subbed through Dish in many years - I have T-Mobile and I get MLB.TV for free. We will see how long that lasts now that ESPN is in charge of MLB.TV...

So, now that MLB.TV will be thru ESPN app ?
Is this the ESPN Unlimited stuff ...

Will you have to Purchase the ESPN Unlimited and then Purchase MLB.TV, thus having to pay for 2 packages ???

Is there still a MLB.TV app ?

The details are fuzzy... supposedly for this year, you will still be able to access MLB.TV through the app or on MLB.com, that 2026 is a transition year. 2027 all MLB.TV as well as teams that allow in-market streaming on MLB.tv will be on the ESPN app. Some signs are coming out of what future deals will look like. When YouTubeTV did their deal with Disney back in November, they lost access to the out of market MLB offering - MLB.TV - which used to be an add-on. Now YouTubeTV subscribers have to go through ESPN or MLB to get it. You have to wonder how much longer MLB Extra Innings is going to exist in it's current form on cable or satellite.

I mentioned in another post, but I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future, Dish and others no longer offer the out of market sports packages and you have to get them through a streaming service, or, if they are on Dish, it would be through streaming and not satellite.
