Are the "select out-of-market games" on MLB+ just the ones that air on MLBN or are there a few MLB dot TV games each week included in that?
I am still one of the few who thinks cable cutting sucks in general. Being forced to watch commercials is nauseating in 2026.
Oh, all the cool kids are apparently watching Tubi. "It's free with ads!" (Yeah, that you can't skip, but people don't seem to mind such.) I must be stuck in the 2000s. Unless it's news or sports, I won't watch it live. I'll record it and watch it on my schedule so I can fast-forward through the ads. I'll watch Chicago Med around 9, Chicago Fire at around 9:40 and then get to Chicago PD around 10:20 so I can skip through the ads. If I started around 9:30, I could probably do the late news and late night shows without commercials as well. But hey, as much as people loved their DVRs of the early 2000s, Tubi is apparently where it's at these days, even if you must watch the ads. I'll gladly pay to avoid ads.
American sports and the news are the 2 worst things to watch live, I find. We're lucky as soccer fans as (so far) we can be sure to get two 50-minute commercial-free segments of programming every time we watch a match, whether watching live or on a cheapo streaming package w/ commercials. Even if I'm forced to watch 3-4 minutes of ads at halftime, I don't mind since by then I usually need to get up for some reason anyway. I don't get how people can watch 8-10 lengthy commercial breaks every hour like you see in every American sport and the news.
It would be tough to avoid spoilers and social media mentions of what happens during big American Sports events though. I have to watch most of my favorite teams live. Especially if they are in playoff contention.
