How to watch the Texas Rangers on Fubo

Sports fans love Fubo for the extensive channel offerings across all of their plans. Though it doesn’t include TBS, Fubo does have every other station you need for Rangers games, making it the second best option for streaming the Rangers. You'll get regional coverage through the Pro plan, but you will need the Elite plan to gain access to MLB Network. 

You can also get unlimited cloud DVR storage to record games and stream on 10 screens simultaneously while on your home network. Note that a fee may be applied for any packages that include regional sports networks.

How to watch the Texas Rangers on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is a good choice for the casual Rangers fans looking to gain access to national coverage. The Live TV channel list gives viewers access to Fox, ESPN, FS1, TBS and MLB Network. However, fans won’t have the regional sports network needed for Rangers games, but it still offers a lot for sports fans. 

Hulu + Live TV offers 90+ channels, and it contains Hulu’s large selection of movies and TV shows that includes Disney Plus and ESPN Plus for no extra cost.

How to watch the Texas Rangers on Sling TV

Known for their affordability, Sling TV is the best option for cost-friendly  national coverage. For all the channels (minus Rangers Sports Network), fans will want to opt for Sling Orange & Blue plus the Sports Extra. This is a great choice for pairing a RSN subscription with national coverage.

Sling Orange includes ESPN and TBS. Sling Blue includes Fox (in some areas), FS1 and TBS. MLB Network is in the Sports Extra add-on. You truly can play around with what you’re subscribing to. You also get 50 hours of cloud DVR and the simultaneous streams vary based on what package you choose.

While you won’t get access to MLB.TV or Rangers Sports Network with YouTube TV, you will get every other channel: Fox, ESPN, FS1 and TBS. The lineup includes 100+ channels along with unlimited cloud DVR and three simultaneous streams. 

Without MLB TV and the RSN, YouTube TV is a bit of a tough sell for baseball fans, but the streaming service does have Key Plays View and Stats View. These unique features give fans extra insight into the action while they’re watching games. However, if you can’t actually stream the games (because you don’t have the channels), those features are pointless.
