The wireless carrier announced it will offer customers free one-year access to [MLB.TV](http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/index.jsp?&affiliateId=MLBTVREDIRECT), which lets subscribers stream every out-of-market regular season game, [Bloomberg reported](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-16/t-mobile-offers-free-mlb-tv-subscription-to-lure-customers). The service will provide live broadcasts of Major League Baseball games through T-Mobile's [Binge On](https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news/t-mobile-unleashes-mobile-video-with-binge-on.htm), a program launched in November allowing subscribers of services like HBO, Hulu, and Netflix to stream low-resolution videos without running up data charges. To take advantage of the offer, T-Mobile customers should sign up for the MLB.TV premium service during baseball season's opening week, which starts April 4. The service normally costs $109.99 for the season, but it's free for T-Mobile customers. The deal also includes At Bat Premium, which provides radio broadcasts of games, regularly priced at $19.99. The promotion coincides with a three-year sponsorship deal between T-Mobile and MLB.TV. It also represents an effort on the part of T-Mobile, the third most popular wireless provider, to try to distinguish itself from competitors in the growing business of mobile video. T-Mobile has been trying to keep up its [burgeoning customer base](https://money.com/cell-phone-bill-cheaper-prices/) to continue to compete with major rivals Verizon and AT&T, which both lost subscribers last year. ***Calculator:*** [How much am I spending?](http://test1.calcxml.com/calculators/embedCalcLoader?skn=570&calc=bud02) With sports games accounting for 93 of the top 100 live-viewed programs in 2015, it seems that athletics coverage is the latest battleground for cell phone providers. Last year, Verizon introduced go90, a free video service that offers NBA and NFL games, while AT&T Inc. provides customers with NFL Sunday Ticket and is a sponsor of this year's NCAA basketball Final Four games. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/t-mobile-mlb-streaming/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Technology", "item": "https://money.com/technology/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "TVs and Monitors", "item": "https://money.com/tvs-and-monitors/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "This Cell Phone Carrier Will Let You Stream Baseball Games Free All Season" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/t-mobile-mlb-streaming/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/t-mobile-mlb-streaming/", "name": "This Cell Phone Carrier Will Let You Stream Baseball Games Free All Season", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-03-17T15:27:08.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/t-mobile-mlb-streaming/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/t-mobile-mlb-streaming/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-16T10:20:23.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "This Cell Phone Carrier Will Let You Stream Baseball Games Free All Season", "articleSection": "Technology", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/03/160317_em_tmobile.jpg?crop=0px%2C49px%2C2100px%2C1181px&quality=85", "width": 1012, "height": 569, "caption": "160317_EM_TMobile" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kerry Close", "url": "https://money.com/author/kerry-close/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/kerry-close/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/kerryclose" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-03-17T15:27:08.000Z", "description": "In an effort to keep up with wireless rivals in the mobile video space, T-Mobile will give customers a free MLB.TV subscription.", "abstract": "In an effort to keep up with wireless rivals in the mobile video space, T-Mobile will give customers a free MLB.TV subscription.", "@id": "https://money.com/t-mobile-mlb-streaming/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2024-04-16T10:20:23.000Z", "wordCount": 277, "keywords": [ "Baseball", "cell phone plans", "deals", "freebies", "pubdesk", "Sports", "streaming tv", "T-Mobile", "Wireless" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Technology", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Display device", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_device" ] } ] } ] } ```
