After spending 11 seasons with the team, Terry Francona has officially left his role as manager of the Cleveland Guardians. Stephen Vogt will make his major league manager debut for the 2024 season, and that alone should be enough reason for fans to tune in and watch Cleveland Guardians baseball this year.
Figuring out how to watch Cleveland Guardians games can be challenging, however, as the team bounces around between Bally Sports Great Lakes, ESPN, FOX, FS1, and TBS. So unless you know exactly where to stream Cleveland Guardians baseball, you could miss out on a key matchup. Things get even more confusing if you're trying to figure out how to watch Guardians baseball without cable, as many streaming services won't get you Bally Sports Great Lakes for regional matchups.
If you're interested in watching Vogt lead Jose Ramirez, the Naylor brothers, Shane Bieber, and the rest of the Guardians through the 2024 season, here's where to watch their games. This includes a look at the best streaming services for Cleveland Guardians live streams, as well as details about platforms like MLB.TV and how to catch primetime matches throughout the year.

How to watch Cleveland Guardians on DIRECTV STREAM
You can watch the Guardians on FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS, and Bally Sports Great Lakes with the Choice Plan from DIRECTV STREAM. This plan costs $109 per month, but it gives you access to most of the Guardians 2024 schedule. The Entertainment Plan is a bit cheaper at $80 per month, though it drops access to Bally Sports Great Lakes. Most Guardians games stream on Bally Sports, so you'll want access to this if you are interested in watching plenty of games. Regardless of which you pick, however, you'll get dozens of other channels, as well as the ability to stream on unlimited devices simultaneously and an unlimited DVR.
How to watch Cleveland Guardians on Fubo
A Fubo Pro Plan costs $80 per month and includes FOX, FS1, ESPN, and Bally Sports Great Lakes. Additionally, you can tack on the MLB Network with the Sports Lite add-on at $10 per month. And if you want to access out-of-market games for all teams in the league, an MLB.TV add-on is available for $30 per month. Benefits of Fubo Pro include a 1,000-hour DVR and the option to stream on unlimited screens.
How to watch Cleveland Guardians on Hulu + Live TV
On Hulu + Live TV, you can watch Guardians games that air on FOX, FS1, TBS, and ESPN for $77 per month. This essentially gets you the nationally televised games, but without access to Bally Sports Great Lakes, you'll be missing out on a good chunk of their schedule. Along with access to Hulu, this plan offers free memberships to ESPN+ and Disney+ for additional programming.
How to watch Cleveland Guardians on Sling TV
Sling TV is missing a few key networks for Cleveland Guardians games, but it's also the cheapest option on this list. The Sling Orange Plan gets you ESPN, while the Sling Blue Plan gets you FS1. These plans each cost $40 per month, though you can bundle them together with the Sling Orange + Sling Blue Plan for $60 per month. Depending on your location, your plan might also qualify for free local channels. You'll get to watch a decent amount of baseball with Sling, just not a whole lot of Guardians baseball.
How to watch Cleveland Guardians on Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+
Apple TV+ will be airing Friday Night Baseball doubleheaders throughout the 2024 season, though the Guardians are only scheduled for one game so far. On May 17, you'll be able to catch them facing off against the Minnesota Twins. Apple TV+ costs $10 per month.
How to watch Cleveland Guardians on MLB.TV (out of market games)
To watch out-of-market Guardians games, you'll want to check out MLB.TV. Two plans are available for the service. The first, Single Team Pass, costs $130 per year and will let you watch all out-of-market games for the Guardians. The second, All Team Pass, costs $30 per month and lets you watch all out-of-market games for all teams in the MLB. Other perks include daily highlights and additional baseball programming and shows. MLB.TV can be purchased as a standalone subscription or bundled into plans like Fubo and Prime Video.
How to watch Cleveland Guardians anywhere with a VPN
Since most Guardians games are only broadcast in the United States, fans living abroad should look into getting a VPN like ExpressVPN or Private Internet Access. This software can trick your internet provider into thinking you're watching from inside the US, allowing you to access regional content. You may even be able to get regional channels, depending on your VPN and streaming platform. Private Internet Access is cheap at just $2 per month, and ExpressVPN is currently discounting its annual plan by 49%.
How to watch primetime MLB games in 2024
Primetime games are scattered all over the map this season. Along with TBS, ESPN, FS1, and FOX, Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ are getting in on the fun. Prime will be airing a variety of night games throughout the season, while Apple TV+ is hosting doubleheaders for Friday Night Baseball. Apple TV+ costs $10 per month, ESPN+ is $11 per month, and Prime Video is $9 per month (it's also included with an Amazon Prime membership).
