MLB Network has becoming increasingly difficult to locate since YouTube TV discontinued it for cord cutters a couple years ago.

MLB has unveiled a new direct-to-consumer streaming service that will cost only $5.99 per month, or $6.99 per month if you want the At Bat option.

With this, Cord Cutters may watch MLB Network as its own channel, making it an excellent addition to YouTube TV or MLB.TV.

“As the way viewers consume content continues to evolve, we are excited for baseball fans to have this new option to experience MLB Network through direct-to-consumer streaming,” Bill Morningstar, president of MLB Network, told reporters. “Going this direction allows us to significantly expand our reach to fans and gives them more choices on how they want to watch the Network’s Emmy Award-winning coverage.”
