T-Mobile Renews MLB Partnership to Offer Subscribers Free MLB.TV Access for Next Six Years

International roaming is now high speed???

That is correct. For up to 5GB, if I'm not mistaking.

So I signed up for this a week or so ago. Can I connect this subscription to my Apple TV+ or can it only be used through the app?

I would like to officially thank MacRumors for only posting about this after the offer was over, leading many of us to heartbreak.

While it’s sad, it’s not really MacRumor’s fault. T-Mobile is apparently counting on a small number of people signing up by doing it through the Tuesday app for a single Tuesday. So they gain PR and not lose a lot of money kinda cheesy but it’s a business after all.

Depends. It's great if you are traveling out of market and want to watch games. Last season, my son and I went to Orlando for a week and caught all the games live in the evenings. Its also good to stream the radio broadcast if you are driving somewhere and can't pick up the local broadcast.

Having said that, would I pay for it? Probably not. (The NFL app that, I think, Verizon offers a deal on is just as bad.)

But as long as T-Mobile is giving it to me I won't complain.

FWIW

Yea it is nice in those situations, but for me personally when I go on any type of trip I’m not really trying to watch tv, and I don’t even think I would be like “oh this is perfect, now I can use the mlb tv app that I haven’t been able to all year” lol.

I just wish the blackouts didn’t exist, and it’s even more frustrating when leagues have a good streaming app then you find out you can’t watch any of your local teams games.

To me it just seems like the only people who will pay for this are people who like baseball in general and not only interested in watching their home team.

I’ll be the first to admit I only celebrate the good times when watching sports, I have no desire to suffer with them lol, but not being able to watch your local team seems like a huge reason people wouldn’t subscribe to this.

They've offered it for the last several years. Hyped it up for at least two weeks before the offer went live. And it's always offered thru their T-Mobile Tuesday app the week before the MLB season starts, with nearly a week to redeem the offer. 🤷‍♂️

You can't anymore. MR informed us of the deal after it was no longer available.

In fairness to MacRumors, the article was about T Mobile renewing this deal through 2028 (or whenever) not about the fact that it was sign up time again this year. And that renewal of the deal wasn't announced until after the sign up window had already closed.

For what it's worth, this deal always comes around in the very end or March/ Early April every year. I put a yearly reminder in my calendar to be on the lookout for it.

Finally got around the blackout pop up by setting up a VPN through the router. Now, I can watch all the games. Bout time. 😁

FYI, for anyone that missed out on the deal originally, it looks like it's back this week in the T Mobile Tuesdays App, along with th free season of MLS soccer.
