As the calendar flips to late March, baseball fans know what that means-Opening Day is upon us. For Phillies fans, it’s a time of renewed hope and excitement as Citizens Bank Park comes alive with the smell of freshly cut grass and the anticipation of another thrilling season. The Philadelphia Phillies are on a mission to bring the World Series trophy back to South Philly, a goal they've been chasing since 2022 and, nostalgically, 2008.
Not everyone can experience the magic of all 162 games in person, but fear not, Phillies faithful. Whether you're a local or a fan from afar, there are plenty of ways to catch every pitch as the team aims for their third consecutive National League East title.
Watching the Phillies on Cable in 2026
If you’re in the Philadelphia area, consider yourself lucky. NBC Sports Philadelphia is your go-to for in-market games, offering nearly every home game that isn’t nationally broadcast and a solid selection of away games.
Plus, with the NBC Sports app and MyTeams app, you can stream games on the go, ensuring you never miss a moment of Phillies action. These apps also provide access to Phillies Pregame Live and Postgame Live, along with in-depth coverage from the NBC Sports Philadelphia team.
Watching the Phillies Without Cable in 2026
For those who have cut the cord, there are still solid options to keep up with the Phillies. Streaming services that include NBC Sports Philadelphia are essential for in-market fans.
However, if you’ve moved away from the Philadelphia/South Jersey area, MLB.TV remains the best option for out-of-market viewing. It offers live and on-demand access to every out-of-market game, along with MLB Network, MLB Big Inning, and MiLB games.
This year, MLB.TV has partnered with NBC Sports Philadelphia to offer Phillies.TV, expanding access to fans both in-market and beyond.
Catching Out-of-Market Games
The Phillies have 17 games slated for national television this year, so keep an eye on the broadcast schedule. Most games will air on NBC Sports Philadelphia, with select matchups available on Peacock for streaming fans. With six different streaming services potentially in play, it’s wise to plan which games are must-watch for your 2026 season.
And for a special treat, mark your calendar for August 13, 2026. The Phillies will face the Minnesota Twins in Dyersville, Iowa, for the MLB Field of Dreams game-a unique experience you won’t want to miss.
In today’s digital age, keeping up with the Phillies might feel like a juggling act of subscriptions and services, but with a little planning, you can ensure you’re part of every thrilling moment. As the Phillies prepare to take the field against the Texas Rangers at 4:15 pm this Thursday, the season promises to be an exciting journey. Here’s to another year of unforgettable baseball in the City of Brotherly Love!
