Free access to At Bat includes breaking news, scores, standings, schedules, interactive rosters, player stats, push notifications and much more. For access to At Bat paid subscription features during the offseason, which include the ability to watch 2015 MLB.TV archives, you can purchase a subscription to At Bat. At Bat purchase information is detailed in the 'Subscription Information and Management' section. MLB.TV Premium subscribers receive access to At Bat subscription features for free and can review the 'MLB.TV Premium Login Information' section below for instructions on redeeming the entitlement using the 'Subscriber Login' option.
When first starting At Bat, you will be presented with the below options which will determine the level of access you will have while using the At Bat application (free vs. paid subscription).

MLB.TV live and archived content is subject to blackout restrictions and relies on location data provided by the At Bat application for verification. The following factors may affect successful blackout verification.
Please follow the steps below to ensure your location settings are enabled on the device:
