The coronavirus postponed the start of the baseball season and shut down nearly everything else, but now Major League Baseball is back for a 60-game sprint of a season to be followed by newly expanded playoffs. The initial three-game series of the new season get wrapped up today with numerous games around the league. Many questions remain about how MLB will navigate the season amid the pandemic, including how teams will keep players and staff safe as they travel from city to city. Nationals star Juan Soto will miss time after testing positive for COVID-19 and other players, including the Nationals‘ Ryan Zimmerman and the San Francisco Giants‘ Buster Posey, have announced they’re sitting out the season. For now, however, baseball is back. You can’t head to the ballpark and attend a game in person, but there are plenty of ways to watch on TV. Here’s how you can watch the shortened 2020 season without cable. A packed slate of games is scheduled for Sunday, July 26 as teams wrap up their first three-game series of the year. The New York Yankees and Washington Nationals finish up in DC starting at 1:05 p.m. ET (10:05 a.m. PT) on TBS. The Los Angeles Angels play the Oakland A’s on MLB Network at 4:10 p.m. ET (1:10 p.m. PT), the same time ESPN Plus carries the Arizona Diamondbacks at the San Diego Padres. This evening the Atlanta Braves visit the New York Mets at 7 p.m. (4 p.m. PT) followed by a nightcap featuring the San Francisco Giants in Los Angeles against the Dodgers at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT). ESPN will carry both of those games. Other teams around the league play on regional sports networks.
