The first Mets vs. Yankees game will air on Tuesday, July 23, at 7:05 p.m. ET on TBS in the US. The second game will air on Wednesday, July 24 at 7:05 p.m. ET on ESPN. These nationally broadcast games will also be shown on the YES Network for local New York viewers and MLB.TV.
If you don't have cable, the cheapest way to access both of the national broadcasts will be through the live TV package Sling TV. The Sling Orange plan carries both ESPN and TBS. Subscriptions cost $40 a month and new users can get their first month for just $15 right now, which is the lowest introductory offer we've seen from the service in quite some time.
In addition to carrying the YES network for local viewers, Fubo has MLB.TV channels for both the Yankees and the Mets, so it's another solid option to view the games. The streaming service costs $79.99 a month, but new users can try it free for one week.
If you'll be traveling away from home during the game, you can still access your viewing options via VPN (virtual private network). VPNs allow you to temporarily change your device's virtual location so that you can keep up with your usual websites and apps from anywhere. They're also easy ways to increase your online privacy. Since the services we've outlined today require US forms of payment, this option will work best for Americans who are simply traveling outside of the US right now.
If you're interested in trying out a VPN but not sure where to start, we recommend giving ExpressVPN a try. It's a beginner-friendly option with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for additional details, and keep reading to learn how to use it.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
