TBS will provide a live stream of Game 1 of the ALCS in the USA, while SN will live stream the game in Canada.

Friday night, Game 1 of the ALCS between the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians will take place. First pitch is set for shortly after 8:00 p.m. ET. No doubt, that will get in the way of some Friday night plans for even the most loyal baseball fans. Fear not, TBS and SN will live stream the action for your viewing pleasure.

Both networks live streamed the action throughout the ALDS. The streams bring the same broadcast that is available on television for online or mobile viewing. TBS and SN also have apps that make it easier to view on the go.

TBS allows viewers to stream the game by logging in with their username and password provided by their cable service. SN works similarly. So, if you subscribe to cable, you can watch the game wherever you are. TBS will stream the game from its flagship website, which can be accessed here. SN, Canada’s premier sports network will stream the game here, but is not accessible in the United States.

TBS provides a quality streaming experience, and has also added several new features to its MLB coverage this season. The product that is streamed features the exact same video, commentary, and graphics as the television version.

There have been complaints, however, that TBS does not include a pitch count in their on-screen graphics. The network has also caught some flak for using an image of the burning Cuyahoga River to promote the Indians’ participation in the series.
