Major League Baseball (MLB) is the oldest professional sports league in the USA, and its games are available to stream on Hulu + Live TV. The league was formed in 1903 and comprised of two divisions, the American League and the National League, which were established in 1876 and 1901, respectively. The winners of the two leagues proceed to compete in the World Series.

This includes regional sports networks such as NBC Sports RSNs, Bally Sports RSNs, and more. Some MLB games will also be available as national broadcasts through networks like ESPN, FOX Sports, and TBS. Baseball fans can also stream live games through MLB Network.
