  • Sportsnet is the English-language broadcaster for the MLB playoffs in Canada.
  • RDS and TVA provide French-language coverage.
  • MLB.TV offers leaguewide and team-specific streaming packages.

Free agency, spring training, and the 162-game regular season are all building to the MLB playoffs. All the mega contracts and blockbuster trades are about reaching the postseason and going on a run. 

While there are always a few favourites in MLB World Series odds as the playoffs begin, the postseason is notoriously unpredictable. It has become harder to predict with the current wild-card format, too. 

How to Watch MLB Playoffs in Canada

Sportsnet+ is the Canadian, English-language broadcaster for the MLB playoffs. According to the MLB website, RDS and TVA are French-language rights holders in Canada and will also broadcast games during the postseason. 

With the delays on streams, I find live television is the first choice way to follow the MLB playoffs when I am going to be live betting on the BetMGM online sportsbook.

How to Watch MLB Playoffs Without Cable in Canada

MLB.TV is the best option to watch the MLB playoffs without cable in Canada. The annual subscription for MLB.TV is cheaper than its NFL and NBA alternatives. 

Of course, having a reliable internet connection is very important when planning to watch the MLB playoffs without cable. 

How to Stream MLB in Canada

Fubo, Sportsnet, and MLB.TV offers streams of MLB games in Canada. Baseball fans can also watch MLB Network on DAZN, where there is an analysis of all 30 teams throughout the year. 

Sportsnet’s mobile apps make watching the MLB playoffs in Canada on the go easy. Their streaming service is accessible on all devices. The same goes for MLB.TV, which has apps on Xbox and PlayStation, is available on Smart TVs. 

How Much Is MLB.TV in Canada?

It is only possible to pay for MLB.TV in US dollars. The all teams annual subscription, providing access to every out-of-market game, is $149.99 annually. It is $29.99 if paid monthly.

Alternatively, a single-team package costs $129.99 for the full year. Discounts are available on each of these offers throughout the season. Fans can pay $29.99 for the final month of the regular season and the postseason. 

The features available via MLB.TV, including highlights packages and the ability to rewatch full games, are unparalleled. I find this the best option when I am looking to spend a lot of time browsing the baseball playoff odds.
