Mariners TV will replace ROOT Sports, which shut down after the 2025 baseball season. Major League Baseball is taking over the producing and distributing of all local games in 2026.
Aaron Goldsmith is returning as the lead television announcer in his 14th season with the Mariners. Rick Rizzs will lead the radio side in his final year alongside Gary Hill Jr.
Angie Mentink, Jay Buhner, Ryan Rowland-Smith, Dave Valle, and Brad Adam will all return as announcers.
Streaming
Fans will be able to stream games on Mariners.tv for $99.99 for the whole season or $19.99 per month.
Diehard baseball fans can bundle Mariners.tv with MLB.tv to see all games from around the league. That package is $199.99 for the season or $39.99 monthly.
All packages include a seven-day free trial for fans who want to test out the service first.
Mariners.tv is available to residents of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, Montana, and Hawaii.
Mariners fans outside of those states will be able to access games through the usual MLB.tv.
Fans within the Mariners regional viewing area have historically been blacked out of games through MLB.tv to avoid conflicts with local television providers.
Mariners fans will need to watch the team on specific streaming services for national broadcasts.
Television
Games will also continue to be available through traditional cable and satellite avenues.
The Mariners announced Wednesday channels for two providers.
- Comcast/Xfinity – Channel 1261
- Charter/Spectrum (in the Seattle-Tacoma market) – Channel 414
The Mariners said “other providers will be announced soon” and the team will release a full channel finder Thursday morning.
Many Mariners fans who watch games through their TV have been frustrated with the announcement so close to the season opener.
Nationally broadcasted games will not be available on the Mariners TV channel; viewers will need to tune into the specific channel for that game.
Radio
Fans can listen to all Mariners games on 710 AM on the radio.
“Catch all Mariners games on the flagship station and its affiliates in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia,” the team said on its website.
Radio broadcasts can also be heard on MLB.tv for subscribers.
Rick Rizzs, the iconic Mariners broadcaster, will retire at the conclusion of the 2026 season.

Rizzs’ retirement ends a vibrant career of more than 40 years as the voice of the Seattle Mariners.
The 72-year-old was originally hired in 1983 to pair with Ford C. Frick Award-winning broadcaster Dave Niehaus, a well-known and Rizzs’ cherished friend who died in 2010.
Outside of a three-year stint with the Tigers from 1992-1994, Rizzs cemented himself as the longest-tenured broadcaster in Mariners history.
