TORONTO — SiriusXM and Major League Baseball (MLB) announced today they have expanded their agreement to include additional streaming rights starting with the 2021 MLB season.
For the first time, SiriusXM subscribers with a streaming-only subscription now have access to live play-by-play broadcasts of every MLB game via the SiriusXM app and on connected devices and speakers in their home.
The SiriusXM app offers 30 play-by-play channels dedicated to streaming the official radio broadcasts of every MLB team, giving listeners the choice between the home and visiting team announcers for every game, says the press release.
SiriusXM satellite subscribers continue to get access to every MLB game on both their SiriusXM radios and on the SiriusXM app. Certain subscriptions are required. (For more information on SiriusXM’s subscription packages, please click here.)

In addition, starting this month, SiriusXM and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum will present an exclusive new podcast series Black Diamonds, showcasing the history of the Negro Leagues and highlighting the players, people and events that shaped them.
