NATIONALS.TV

$19.99/month

NATIONALS.TV is the in-market home for Washington Nationals broadcasts, which moved to MLB for 2026 after the team's long-running agreement with MASN expired. Like 13 other teams, the Nationals' local broadcasts are produced by MLB Local Media and delivered over the same MLB.TV infrastructure. It's available nationally and only blacks out when Washington plays a club inside that club's home territory, so NL East markets feel it most, especially New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Miami. It may also be referenced by the shorthand WSH.TV.
