All live games on MLB.TV and available through MLB.com At Bat are subject to local blackouts. Such live games will be blacked out in each applicable Club's home television territory, regardless of whether that Club is playing at home or away. If a game is blacked out in an area, it is not available for live game viewing. If you are an MLB.TV subscriber and not located within either Club's home television territory, the applicable game will be available live and as an archived game as soon as possible after the conclusion of the game. If you are an MLB.TV subscriber within either Club's home television territory, the applicable game will be available as an archived game approximately 90 minutes after the conclusion of the game.

If you are traveling and are accessing the Internet through a VPN connection (or other secure network connection), you might be getting a blackout message because the host IP Address for the VPN is within the restricted range for the game that you are trying to access. In this case, we suggest that you try the following: log off of the VPN connection (or other secure network connection) and access the Internet through a local connection. You should also disable any proxies that you are using. If you feel that you are still being blacked out incorrectly, please update your Payment Profile.
If that does not work or apply, power cycle your modem and/or router. To do this, unplug your modem, as well as any wired or wireless router you are using, for about 10 seconds. Then re-plug the device(s). Wait a few minutes as your Internet connection resets and, then, try to view the game again. If you believe you are still incorrectly blacked out, contact our Customer Service Department toll free at 866-800-1275 (International Customers call 512-434-1542).
