I have Comcast/Xfinity cable. Does anyone have any instructions on how to sign up for Cardinal.TV?

Key Details for Watching Cardinals on DIRECTV (2026 Season):
Required Package: You must have the Choice or Ultimate package to get FanDuel Sports Network Midwest.
The only problem with this is that fan duel won't be broadcasting the games this year. The games will be under the MLB umbrella and so far as I have seen directv hasn't made any announcement about how they will televise the games.
I got that from their website.

I don’t have a TV provider like Spectrum or whatever.
I signed up on MLB.Com.
I can watch on my phone.
I can watch on TV. For TV I use my Appletv device and downloaded MLB. Com on it.
I think any device on your TV or a smart TV that you can download apps on would work for you too.
So you own Cardinals.tv?

Download matrix Midwest app and you can watch the spring training games for free
I don't think so. At least today's game is not going to be on the app. Think you have to watch it over the air or on Spectrum.

I didn't try an VPN, but it looks like the $99/$19 Cardinals package might only be available in-market. I get the offer for the Mariners instead, Google says the same $99/$19 offer should be available, but I only see the $199 (all of MLB with no SEA-blackout) or $29 per month on MLB's sites. My yearly subscription from 2025 is still active until 3/1, so maybe that's blocking other options.

I was thinking I'd buy STL monthly until they cut the cost of all team MLB.TV (assuming they follow the same rate plan as last year) since it appears the association with ESPN has eliminated the MLBPAA 50% off voucher coupon. However, I'm likely to get $149 enjoyment from the yearly subscription, so I guess I should not try to game the system for a few bucks, heh.

How does one subscribe to Cardinals.TV on Xfinity. I have looked for it on the apps and do not see it.

I don’t know what Xfinity is, but it would be MLB app. See if you have it.

I'm going to have to figure that out to. Living on the East Coast, I really couldn't stay up to watch games, but now that I'm retiring before the season starts, I can justify buying in to be able to watch them again on Comcast/Xfinity.

On Comcast?

Also, congrats!

I'm unfortunately out of the Cards TV area. Have to get MLB TV again.
