Alex Bregman and the Green Monster. Oh baby, this is going to be fun. The Boston Red Sox put icing on the cake with the late addition of the two-time World Series champion. Bregman and Rafael Devers, along with their newest All-Star Jarren Duran, have Red Sox fans salivating over their new-look lineup. That's right, it's time to learn where to watch Boston Red Sox games in 2025.

Red Sox Nation is fired up for this season and with five very good starting pitchers, their elite pitching staff is a big reason why. Adding Garrett Crochet and newest World Series champ Walker Buehler into the rotation could have Boston fans thinking about a ring themselves. Could it happen?

It's been a bit of an underwhelming stretch for the Red Sox since their 2021 American League Championship Series appearance, finishing with back-to-back 78-win seasons, but team manager Alex Cora is hoping to change that this year. But, can the Red Sox take the American League East? It's a very tough division, but one that could be up for grabs. 

You're going to want to catch the Red Sox action this year, and luckily, you can do so without cable. Here's a look at how to watch Boston Red Sox baseball, including where to stream NESN, the Boston Red Sox's regional sports network.

DIRECTV STREAM offers NESN in several packages, with the Choice plan (around $89.99/month) being the most affordable. It includes unlimited DVR and streaming on unlimited devices, so you can watch the Red Sox on your TV, phone, or tablet.

The Choice plan also features MLB Network, ensuring you won't miss Bregman and Devers in action. For a lower-cost option, the Entertainment plan (about $84.99/month) includes ESPN and FS1 but not NESN. Prices vary by location.
