Get ready, Mariners fans, because the 2026 season is about to shake things up in a big way! Say goodbye to blackouts and hello to a whole new way to watch your favorite team. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: the Seattle Mariners aren’t just changing how you watch—they’re also honoring history with a bold new uniform rotation that’s sure to spark conversations.
The heart of this transformation is Mariners.TV, a groundbreaking in-market streaming service designed to bring live games directly to fans in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Montana, and Hawaii—all without those frustrating local blackouts. Starting February 10, you can snag a full-season subscription for $99.99 or go month-to-month for $19.99. And don’t worry, out-of-market viewers—MLB.TV will still have you covered.
But here’s the part most people might miss: this isn’t just about streaming. The Mariners are also keeping games accessible on traditional platforms like Comcast Xfinity, DirecTV, and YouTube TV, ensuring fans have multiple ways to tune in. Plus, with the closure of ROOT Sports, the team is stepping up to ensure no one gets left behind.
Now, let’s talk uniforms—because this is where history meets the present. On Sundays at T-Mobile Park, the Mariners will don Seattle Steelheads uniforms, paying homage to the 1946 Negro Leagues team. This isn’t just a fashion statement; it’s a powerful tribute that makes Seattle the first MLB team to include a historic Negro Leagues uniform in its regular rotation. Is this a game-changer for how teams honor baseball’s past? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
But the Mariners aren’t stopping at uniforms. They’re also launching the Steelheads Community Fund, committing $500,000 to support Black-led baseball and softball organizations in the community. It’s a move that goes beyond the field, aiming to make a lasting impact off it.
On the broadcast front, the Mariners are bringing back fan favorites while introducing fresh voices. Aaron Goldsmith will lead the television play-by-play, joined by analysts like Angie Mentink, Ryan Rowland-Smith, Jay Buhner, and Dave Valle. Brad Adam will keep the energy high with pre- and post-game coverage. And on the radio, Rick Rizzs is back for his final season, with Gary Hill Jr. stepping into a bigger role.
All 162 regular-season games and 30 spring training games will air on Seattle Sports AM 710 and the Mariners Radio Network, with a full TV schedule coming soon.
So, what do you think? Is Mariners.TV a home run for fans? Are the Steelheads uniforms a bold step forward, or a controversial move? Let us know in the comments—we’re eager to hear your take on this exciting new era for the Mariners!
