What channel is MLB Network on Comcast, DirecTV and more?

MLB Network is again dipping its toes into the Postseason television slate, but what channel is it so you don’t miss the NLDS games when they air?

The Postseason is here, which means television shows are going to start getting pre-empted as FOX gears up for World Series coverage. That’s still a few weeks away though, as we first have to get through the Divisional and Championship rounds of the postseason.

Traditionally, the World Series is aired on FOX, but the network isn’t dabbling too much in the NLDS action. With TBS handling things on the American League side of things, the National League is splitting its network home between Fox Sports 1 and MLB Network.

Yes, it’s that time of year again that we remember MLB Network is a thing. There are upsides to this, as Bob Costas is on the call for MLB Network games, of which there will be three this postseason.

MLB Network is simulcasting a handful of games, but they will have the exclusive broadcast rights to Game 2 of the Cubs-Giants series and Game 3 of both NLDS games. This is mildly frustrating if you don’t have MLB Network, but there’s upside to that as well. The network is offering a ‘free preview’ on the days of the games, which means you won’t be blocked out if you don’t get the channel.

Here are the games that will be exclusively on MLB Network:

Saturday, Oct. 8
NLDS Gm 2: San Francisco Giants vs Chicago Cubs

Sunday, Oct. 10

NLDS Gm 3: Washington Nationals vs Los Angeles Dodgers
NLDS Gm 3: Chicago Cubs vs San Francisco Giants
