How To Watch The Tampa Bay Rays Live Online Without Cable In 2025

What Channels Are Tampa Bay Rays Games On During The 2025 season?

Most Tampa Bay Rays games will air locally on FanDuel Sports Network Sun this season. However, if you’re not living in the Greater Tampa Bay area, you won’t be able to get the channel. You can still get national broadcasts, including two games that air exclusively on the Apple TV+ service for the season. 

How To Watch The Tampa Bay Rays Live On DIRECTV

DIRECTV is one of the best platforms for Rays fans if you live in and around the local coverage area. You can get FanDuel Sports Network Sun with the Choice, Ultimate or Premier package. If you’re outside the FanDuel Sports Network Sun coverage area, you can still use DIRECTV to watch MLB games aired nationally on Fox, FS1 and MLB Network.  

How To Watch The Tampa Bay Rays Live On Fubo

Fubo is another platform that’s ideal for local broadcast Tampa Bay Rays coverage because you can get FanDuel Sports Network Sun in the Pro and Elite plans. This platform also gives you access to Rays games that are broadcasted on Fox, FS1 and MLB Network (the latter requires Elite or an add-on).

How To Watch The Tampa Bay Rays Live On Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV lacks FanDuel Sports Network Sun, but it’s also the only streamer that gives you a free ESPN Plus subscription. In addition to ESPN Plus coverage, you’ll also have the Tampa Bay Rays games with national broadcasts on MLB Network, Fox and FS1. 

All customers get the Hulu library, too. This includes original shows and movies, plus content from major networks. You can also eliminate ads from Hulu’s on-demand library for a slight price increase.

How To Watch The Tampa Bay Rays Live On Sling TV

Sling TV also lacks FanDuel Sports Network Sun. Fox is available in some areas, and all customers can get FS1. MLB Network is available with a Sports Extra add-on. When it comes to choosing a Sling TV package, it requires a bit more strategy than some of its competitors because sports channels are divided between the two most affordable plans. The Sling Blue package has Fox in some markets, plus FS1. 

Sling Orange has ESPN and TBS, which air many MLB games. The Sling Orange & Blue plan has the channel lineups from both of the other plans. If you get local channels, there is an additional monthly fee.

How To Watch The Tampa Bay Rays Live On YouTube TV

YouTube TV doesn’t have FanDuel Sports Network but does offer coverage of the Tampa Bay Rays on FS1 and Fox. Unfortunately, the platform lost MLB Network a few years ago. You may still like YouTube TV for MLB games because of features like Key Plays, which allow you to catch up on game highlights in real time.

How To Watch The Tampa Bay Rays Live On Apple TV+

Each week during baseball season, Apple TV+ will air two MLB games during “Friday Night Baseball” that aren’t airing anywhere else. The Rays will air on Apple TV+ when they play the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox. If you don’t already have Apple TV+, a free trial is available, so you can give it a try before you subscribe.

How To Watch Tampa Bay Rays Out-of-Market Games Live With MLB TV

You can use MLB TV to watch out-of-market Rays games, making it a good option for fans who don’t live in Florida but want to keep up with the team.

If you live in or near Tampa Bay, you can get a team pass per season, which covers only the Tampa Bay Rays. The cost for both a regular pass and a team pass is a bit more per season. You can sign up for MLB TV on the MLB website or add it as an Amazon Prime channel.
