Are you in the Cardinals market ?
If your market is listed in the sports guide, it should be available.
If not, you would need the MLB EI package.

What is your zip code ?

You need the Extra Innings package in order to watch out of market baseball games. You cannot watch any out of market games in any pro sport without that sports particular package (EI for baseball, CI for Hockey, LP for Basketball, ST for Football, ex).

Zip Code ?

According to a generic zip code I used for Tupilo, Ms, the Cardinals are not listed as your RSN so you would need the MLB EI Package.

so basically you are in Braves territory. The Reds you can get if you add the sports package

Anything else would require Extra Innings

Here is the schedule for EI. The only games blacked out on EI are those games televised on the other teams station when your team plays them.

DIRECTV - MLB EXTRA INNINGS Schedule

Maybe because they only show Pro ball?

(Couldn't help myself - die hard CUBS fan )

 

[jjling]

so if the cardinals are playing whomever and there fox sports picks it up it will be blacked out? that cant be right because it was on fox sports pit tonight but also on ei

Then the non pro team is ahead of your pro team. What does that say about your pro team?

If the Cardinals are the designated home team in your area, then yes...according to MLB blackout rules.

According to the zip you provided you should be able to see the Cardinal games on their RSN AND the opponents RSN with EI. Only the Braves opponents' RSN will be blacked out for you.

Ok so last question if i get the ei package i should get 90 percent of all cardinal games?

 

[DodgerKing]

Using your Zipcode on MLB's website this is what I got for blackouts:

You are located within the home television territory of the following Club(s), and MLB.TV is subject to blackout for all regular season live games for these Club(s):

• Atlanta Braves
• Cincinnati Reds

In addition, live regular season games for all thirty Clubs are subject to blackout during the national Fox Saturday and ESPN Sunday night game telecast windows.During the postseason all live games are subject to blackout in the United States.
For non-U.S. blackouts and for complete details on U.S. blackouts, and other restrictions, click here.

 

[DodgerKing]

Ok so last question if i get the ei package i should get 90 percent of all cardinal games?

You should be able to see every one of them shown on EI, either through the Cardinals feed and/or through their opponents feed. That should be well over 90% of the time.

The only feeds that will be restricted for you are the Reds and Braves.

Note: There have been reports of some weird blackout restrictions for those that live well outside of a particular teams DMA or within overlapping DMAs.

22 Games into the season - a little early maybe? (and I get ALL my games
