Seattle Mariners President of Business Operations Kevin Martinez announced today the launch of the ROOT SPORTS Stream app, which offers a direct-to-consumer platform for fans in the Pacific Northwest to access all ROOT SPORTS programming, including live Mariners games, without the necessity of cable or satellite subscriptions.
Launched on March 21, 2025, the ROOT SPORTS Stream app aims to enhance access to Mariners baseball for fans across various devices and platforms. Martinez commented, “Our goal is to connect fans to Mariners baseball in as many ways as possible.” This new platform is designed to eliminate traditional viewing restrictions by providing programming to users directly.
“We know fans are eagerly anticipating Mariners Opening Day and we are thrilled to offer them another way to access ROOT SPORTS,” said Sabrina Taylor, Vice President of Affiliate & RSN Operations at ROOT SPORTS.
The ROOT SPORTS Stream app, which requires no blackouts and no cable contracts, will be accessible not only via web browser at RootSportsStream.com but also on mobile and tablet devices, as well as connected TV platforms such as iOS, Android, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku.
Fans living within the Mariners television territory—including Washington, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, and portions of Idaho—can subscribe to the app for $19.99 per month, ensuring access to all Mariners games along with additional content related to the team.
This new initiative promises to complement existing agreements ROOT SPORTS has with television providers, broadening the ways fans can engage with their favorite team. With no long-term commitments required for the subscription, the ROOT SPORTS Stream app provides flexibility and ease of access, catering to the evolving preferences of contemporary sports viewers.
The app is powered by global streaming leader ViewLift, ensuring a robust streaming experience for fans. For further details on signing up and accessing content, fans can visit Mariners.com/stream.
As the baseball season approaches, this launch is expected to significantly enhance fans' experience, making Mariners games more accessible than ever.
