MLB All-Star live streams: How to watch the 2022 Home Run Derby, All-Star Game without cable image

The 2022 Home Run Derby will be airing on ESPN this year, but with streaming being a nearly ubiquitous reality in today's sports viewing experience it may not be accessible to some people interested.

Luckily, there are a myriad of ways for cord-cutters to watch this year's swing-off, as ESPN is among the most accessible channels out there, whether one has cable or not.

Pete Alonso is going for the first-ever three-peat of the King of Swing title, and he's looking to join Ken Griffey Jr. as the only three-time winners of the event.

Here's what you need to know to watch Alonso try to defend his title against the field in Los Angeles.
