The channels will provide local game coverage within each club’s home territory. “MLB fans can continue to rely on DIRECTV to deliver their favorite local teams,” says Rob Thun, Chief Content Officer, DIRECTV . “We remain committed to working with the league and its clubs to keep loyal fans connected.” With these additions, DIRECTV has now collaborated with MLB to launch 14 team-specific channels. Previous launches include the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks (2023), Colorado Rockies (2024), and Cleveland Guardians and Minnesota Twins (2025).

The MyHome Team add-on, available for $19.99 per month for MySports subscribers, provides access to local MLB, NBA, or NHL games within a team’s home territory. Fans of the nine newly added teams can access local games through MyHome Team.
