How to watch the Texas Rangers live in 2024
Reigning World Series champions, the Texas Rangers, are storming into the 2024 season, looking to return to the postseason again. Though it’s virtually unheard of to win back-to-back World Series, the Rangers are good enough to make it happen. The team has a robust group of veteran pitchers, including a solid bullpen that came in clutch during last year’s World Series run — and they need to stand strong during this season to make it back this year.
Texas fans can watch the team’s whole season from home on their favorite streaming service. Find out how to watch all the Texas Rangers games with sports streaming platforms, below.

How to watch the Texas Rangers on DIRECTV STREAM
With DIRECTV STREAM, you get all the channels you need to watch the Texas Rangers games this season, including Fox, ESPN, TBS, FS1, MLB Network and Bally Sports Southwest, as long as you opt for the Choice plan or higher. The Entertainment plan is the lowest and most affordable package available but doesn’t include regional sports networks (RSNs) or MLB Network.
A DIRECTV STREAM subscription also offers unlimited cloud DVR and unlimited simultaneous streams, making it a great option for a house full of people or those fans who have busy lives and can’t be home every game night (but don’t want to miss out!)
How to watch the Texas Rangers on Fubo
Many sports fans gravitate toward Fubo for all the channels it offers. Though it doesn’t include TBS, Fubo does have every other station you need for Rangers games. As long as you opt for the Elite or Premier plan, you’ll have everything you need to catch MLB action from the Rangers and more. MLB Network is not included in the Pro plan. You can also get unlimited Cloud DVR to record games and stream on 10 screens simultaneously.
Outside of baseball, Fubo is great for those looking for a sports-centric streaming service. Depending on which plan you pick, you can unlock access to popular sports channels like NFL Network, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, Tennis Channel and many more.
How to watch the Texas Rangers on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV is a good choice for the casual Rangers fan. 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 Ranger’s ball games, but it still offers a lot for sports fans.
Hulu + Live TV offers 90+ channels (and you can bump up to the ad-free plan for an additional cost), and it includes Hulu’s large selection of movies and TV shows, many of which are original content that you can’t find anywhere else. Plus, the subscription includes Disney Plus and ESPN Plus for no extra charge, which means even more TV, movies and sports content to round out your streaming package.
How to watch the Texas Rangers on Sling TV
Rangers fans have a few options with Sling TV, depending on how many channels and games they want to target. For all the channels (minus the RSN Bally Sports Southwest), fans will want to opt for Sling Orange & Blue plus the Sports Extra.
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 for $11 per month. You truly can play around with what you’re subscribing to. You also get 50 hours of cloud DVR and the simultaneous streams varies based on what package you choose (between 1 and 3).
How to watch the Texas Rangers on YouTube TV
While you don’t get MLB TV or Bally Sports Southwest with YouTube TV, you get everything else: Fox, ESPN, FS1 and TBS. The lineup includes 100+ channels. Your monthly subscription price also includes 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 moot.
How to watch the Texas Rangers on Apple TV+
On Friday nights, Apple TV+ is airing double-header games. Rangers fans will see the Texas team for three games this season.
Friday, April 5 at 8 p.m. ET: Houston Astros at Texas Rangers
Friday, April 19 at 7 p.m. ET: Texas Rangers at Atlanta Braves
