The 2023 MLB season is fully underway! Plenty of off-season moves have stirred things up across the league, with many of the teams already setting themselves apart from their division rivals.
Some big-time teams made big-time changes over the winter and have already shown they know what they're doing. The NL East is shaping up to be extremely strong, with the 100+ win Braves and Mets running alongside the postseason favorite Phillies. In the NL West, both the Dodgers and Padres have big plans that will surely have them sitting pretty come October.
Always big contenders, the Yankees finished strong last year but didn't quite make the cut. The Blue Jays and Rays made a few off-season tweaks as well, which should keep them looking strong until the fall.
Of course, we can't forget about the defending champions Houston Astros who have dominated the division for the past few years. The Mariners may also have something to prove out west as well.
Whoever your favorite team may be, there is still plenty of action left to come throughout the season. Read on to find out how to watch your favorites all season long with an MLB live stream.

(opens in new tab)How to watch MLB blackout games and stream baseball from outside your country
MLB blackout rules mean that you can't use its otherwise comprehensive MLB.TV (opens in new tab) streaming service to watch teams within your own market – fine for Yankees fans living in Seattle for example, but not so great for those in the Bronx.
It's proving more and more to be a real pain for cord-cutters, but fortunately, VPNs help you get around this by allowing you to relocate your IP address to a different location. This means if you're an out-of-market fan that happens to be traveling to your team's home location, for example, you can still watch the game without any issues (opens in new tab).
A VPN will also work when trying to access your regular MLB streaming service (or any other sports and entertainment streaming service) from abroad when geo-restrictions would otherwise block the coverage. VPNs are legal, secure, and easy to use.

Watch MLB live stream without cable in the States
MLB TV is still far and away the best way to watch all of your team's games for the 2023 season, but only if you live out of market. Most people are probably following a local team, however, so MLB TV isn't the best option for everyone. Thankfully, there are a handful of streaming services that have most of the major sports networks as well as regional sports networks (RSNs) so you won't have to miss a beat for the 2023 season.

(opens in new tab)What's new for the 2023 MLB Season?
For the 2023 season, MLB has implemented some new changes to help speed up the game, much to the chagrin of players and fans alike. With the rules fully tested in the minor leagues last year, then introduced during the preseason, it's seemingly taking some time for everyone to fully adjust.
Here's a breakdown of what's new:
Pitch Timer: Perhaps the biggest change is the introduction of the pitch clock. No longer will pitchers (or batters) have all the time in the world to do their thing. Pitchers will now have 15 seconds to work with the bases empty, and 20 seconds with runners on. Pitchers can step off the rubber twice without penalty, resetting the clock. A pitch clock violation will result in a called ball.
On the flip side, a batter must be in the box with at least 8 seconds left on the clock and they're allowed one timeout per plate appearance.
Shift Restrictions: The defensive shift, prevalent in recent years, is no more – kind of. Instead of being able to position wherever they want, two infielders must now be positioned on each side of second base upon release of the pitch. All four infielders need to have both feet within the further outer boundary of the infield when the pitcher is on the rubber. Any violations here will be given an automatic ball.
Larger Bases: Perhaps the most awkward change, the bases are now larger as well. Gone are the age-old 15" bases. Here are the awkwardly larger 18" bases. The hope is that players will be encouraged to steal more frequently and also keep player safety in mind.
Automatic Runner: It's not new new, but as we've seen the past few seasons, there will still be an automatic runner on second base after the ninth inning.
Position Players Pitching: There are also some restrictions on position players being used as pitchers. Position players may only hit the mound if a game goes to extra innings, the team is trailing by at least eight runs, or the team is winning by at least 10 runs in the ninth inning.
MLB schedule 2023 highlights
While it wouldn't make sense for us to list the entire 2023 MLB schedule here, there are some big games of note we wanted to pass along. In addition to some heated matchups for opening day, there are some big rivalries as well as some destination games in other parts of the world. July will see a much-needed All-Star break before things hit the home stretch to October.
