How to Watch

For fans trying to catch it on TV, all games will be televised by AT&T SportsNet, the television home of the Houston Astros, and streamed on the AT&T SportsNet app. Fans are asked to check local listings for more information. However, the chances of having this as a option in your cable package are somewhat slim, so the streaming option if probably going to be the way to go.

The games will be streamed on MLB.com, Astros.com and the MLB At Bat app. Additionally, the games will be available live on the Astros YouTube channel and the official social media accounts of the Astros, including Facebook Live and Twitter.

On the radio, you can catch the action at 1400 AM/99.3 FM in the Oklahoma City area. Taylor Maples will be on the call.
