How to watch

If you're not at the stadium, watching in real life, there are other ways to watch or listen to the game.

A’s broadcasts remain available on TV via NBC Sports California. 

MLB announced that a new streaming option is available to watch A’s, Giants and Philadelphia Phillies games. That direct-to-consumer service, through MLB.TV and Peacock, is available for $19.99 a month or can be bundled with MLB.TV’s access to out-of-market games for a total of $39.99 monthly.

Previously, local Northern California markets were "blacked out" and unable to use an MLB.TV subscription to watch A’s or Giants games.

Fans in Northern California can listen to A's Cast for 24/7 coverage of the Athletics for free by clicking on athletics.com/ascast or by downloading the iHeartRadio mobile app.
