How to watch the New York Mets live in 2024
The New York Mets finished last season just outside playoff range, and they haven’t kicked off this season on the strongest cleat. The team is at 4-7 to start the year, though they are just a few games behind the leader. Anything could happen, right?
The team hasn’t won the World Series since 1986, but maybe with enough support, they could come from behind. If they do, you won’t want to miss an inning. You can watch the New York Mets from just about anywhere with live TV streaming services, though local fans will get most of the action unless they sign up for MLB TV.
What channels are New York Mets games on this season?
The New York Mets air on more channels than many other teams, so their fans should consider themselves spoiled for choice when it comes to game coverage. Most games air on SportsNet New York (SNY) and WPIX, the latter of which is the local The CW channel. You can also find nationally broadcast games on several channels.
