At Bat Troubleshooting

In addition to the troubleshooting information below, please review the "General Troubleshooting" section as it may contain steps to correct the behavior that you're experiencing.

MLB.TV/MLB Network Troubleshooting

In addition to the troubleshooting information below, please review the "General Troubleshooting" section as it may contain steps to correct the behavior that you're experiencing.

The MLB app supports viewing both live out-of-market and archived MLB.TV content on devices that can run Android 5.0 or greater.

MLB.TV/MLB Network live and archived content is subject to blackout restrictions and relies on location data provided by the MLB app for verification. The following factors may affect successful blackout verification with:

• Location services are not enabled on the device
• GPS satellites are not visible due to being indoors/away from windows
• A cellular data or Wifi hotspot, satellite, hotel, or corporate/VPN internet connection is being used
• You're attempting to access while traveling in motion (plane, train, or car)

Please follow the steps below to ensure that location services are set up properly:

Android OS

1. Tap on device "Settings" icon
2. Tap on "Location Settings"
3. Ensure all location services are checked or enabled

If you're accessing the game from a cellular connection or mobile hotspot, attempt to access from a Wifi connection as cellular connections can often route your data well outside the current viewing location. You may also attempt to enable airplane mode for a minute, disable airplane mode, and the device may connect to a different tower with different routing.

If you're experiencing issues with any of the following functions, please ensure that you have the latest version of Google Play Services installed on your device.
