How to watch MLB All-Star Game in the US
The 2024 MLB All-Star Game will kick off on Tuesday, July 16 at 8 p.m. ET on FOX in the US. Cord-cutters can still catch the game by subscribing to a live TV streaming package like Sling TV or Fubo. Both services offer a month-to-month cable alternative featuring various live channels and no long-term contracts.
Sling TV will be the cheapest option today. To access local channels like FOX, you'll need to subscribe to Sling Blue. Since Sling's local coverage is selective, you should look up your zip code prior to subscribing to see if you're in a region that can stream FOX. Subscriptions start at $40 a month, but Sling is usually running a promo that will discount part of your first month.
Fubo is another strong option that carries broad FOX coverage. The package offers more than 180 live channels, including tons of baseball coverage. Subscriptions start at $79.99 a month, but new users can try out the streaming service free for one week.
How to watch MLB All-Star Game from anywhere
If you'll be traveling outside of the US when the MLB All-Star Game occurs, you can still tune in to your streaming subscriptions using a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs allow people to temporarily change their device's virtual location, which means that they can still access their usual websites and apps from anywhere. They're also solid ways to improve online privacy. Since the services we recommended today require US payment methods, this option will work best for Americans who are just traveling abroad at the moment.
Our go-to rec for the VPN-curious is ExpressVPN since it's easy to use and has a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can check out full details in our ExpressVPN review, and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.
How to watch MLB All-Star Game with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
- Install it on the device you're planning to watch on.
- Turn it on and set it to a US location.
- Sign up for the above streaming services with a US form of payment.
- Navigate to FOX and enjoy the competition.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
