How to watch Yankees games without cable: Full TV schedule, streams for 2023 Opening Day & more image

All rise, once again?

Aaron Judge had a season for the ages in 2022, smashing 62 home runs and powering the Yankees to 99 wins. The home runs were great for the record book, but Judge's success couldn't push the Yankees to that elusive 28th World Series title.

Now, the Bombers are running it back with largely the same squad, but they could look to a youth infusion to help prop the World Series window open once again. Led by Anthony Volpe, the 2023 season could feature the latest wave of Baby Bombers angling to becoming pinstriped legends.

The kids might be the only thing that's all right — for now. The Yankees were bitten hard by the injury bug during spring training, so they'll have to wait for the returns of Carlos Rodon, Frankie Montas and Luis Severino to the rotation. Two of those three will return sooner than the other.

Still, it's a Yankee squad that should make noise again this season. As the 2023 edition gets ready to step into the box, here's how you can catch their games throughout the season:

How to watch Yankee games without cable

For viewers without cable, there are several streaming options to catch Yankee games in the 2023 MLB season:

— In-market, DirecTV Stream carries YES and all of the networks that broadcast nationally televised games: Fox, ESPN, MLB Network, FS1 and MLB Network. These are all part of the service's Choice package for $99.99 monthly.

— If you live outside the Yankees' TV market, you can watch games via MLB.tv.  For $129.99 for the season or $24.99 per month, you can catch every game for every team. You can also pick a single-team option for $109.99 a year. Again, this is only if you are outside the Yankees' TV market: If you are inside the Yankees' market, games will be blacked out. Games will also be blacked out if you live outside the Yankees' market, but in the market of teams the Bombers are visiting. 

Fubo is also carrying MLB.tv starting this year, for $25 per month on top of the Fubo subscription.

— The Yankees will be part of Apple TV's "Friday Night Baseball" slate, with two games scheduled.

— Similar to 2022, the Yankees have a number of games scheduled for Amazon Prime Video in 2023. 

— For nationally televised games, there are a few options, with some exceptions: Fubo, SlingTV, and DirecTV Stream all carry ESPN, MLB Network and FS1. YoutubeTV and Hulu + Live TV carry ESPN and FS1, but they do not carry MLB Network in 2023.

— YES Network, the home of the Yankees, also has a direct-to-consumer streaming service that packages Yankees, Liberty, and Nets games. It will still be regional, and it begins at $24.99 per month or $239.99 per year. Through April 30, it is $19.99 per month of $199.99 per year. YES is still available via cable login.

You can check if games are blacked out in your area using MLB's blackout tool.
