How to Watch and Track Red Sox Scores Live in 2026

The fastest way to follow a live Red Sox score is MLB’s own free Gameday tracker, at mlb.com/gameday or inside the MLB App, which updates pitch by pitch in real time. For full video and audio, coverage splits between NESN for local New England television, MLB.TV for out-of-market streaming, and WEEI radio — each with its own coverage area, cost, and blackout rules. Here’s how each option works, what it costs as of the 2026 season, and how to pick the right one.

What’s the fastest way to check a live Red Sox score?

MLB’s own Gameday tool, free at mlb.com/gameday and built into the MLB App, is the quickest real-time option. It updates pitch by pitch with a live box score, full play-by-play log, and a pitch-tracking overlay pulled from Statcast, MLB’s own tracking system, so you can see pitch velocity and location as each one is thrown. The MLB App layers in live audio broadcasts and push alerts for scoring plays, lead changes, and final results, making it the single most complete free tool for following any Red Sox game without watching video.

How can I watch Red Sox games on TV?

NESN is the Red Sox’s regional television home and is scheduled to air 145 games in the 2026 season. NESN carries the bulk of the regular-season schedule across New England on cable, satellite, and select live-TV streaming bundles. National games — mostly Sunday, nationally televised matchups, and any postseason contest — move to whichever network holds the rights for that game instead, which can include ESPN, Fox, FS1, MLB Network, TBS, NBC, or Peacock depending on the date and round.

What does NESN 360 cost, and do I need cable?

No cable is required — NESN 360, the network’s standalone streaming app, is priced at $29.99 a month or $239.99 a year as of the 2026 season. It carries the same local broadcasts as NESN’s cable channel and is the simplest option for New England fans who’ve cut the cord. Because subscription prices are set season to season, treat these figures as current for 2026 and expect NESN to confirm its own rate each spring.

How do I watch Red Sox games if I live outside New England?

Out-of-market fans can stream most Red Sox games through MLB.TV, which for the 2026 season is sold through the ESPN App at $29.99 a month or $149.99 for a full season. MLB.TV covers regular-season games outside your home television territory, but it doesn’t override exclusive national broadcast windows — a game airing nationally on Fox or ESPN, for example, is blacked out on MLB.TV for everyone, not just local fans, because those rights belong solely to the national broadcaster that day. Postseason games are carried nationally and aren’t subject to that in-market blackout the way regular-season games are.

Where can I listen to Red Sox games on the radio?

WEEI 93.7 FM is the flagship station of the Boston Red Sox Radio Network and broadcasts every game live, free over the air across New England or through the Audacy app anywhere with an internet connection. SiriusXM carries a national satellite-radio feed of most MLB games, including the Red Sox, for listeners outside the network’s over-the-air footprint.

Are there other places to check Red Sox scores and stats?

Yes — ESPN.com and CBS Sports both run their own live scoreboards with box scores and play-by-play for every MLB game, including the Red Sox, as alternatives to MLB’s own Gameday. For fans who want to go deeper than the score, Baseball Savant, MLB’s advanced-metrics site, publishes Statcast data on every pitch and batted ball — exit velocity, launch angle, and pitch movement — for anyone who wants the full picture behind the box score.

Does how you follow the Red Sox change during the postseason?

Yes — the broadcast partner changes by round, though the free tools stay the same. For the 2026 postseason, the Wild Card Series airs on NBC and Peacock, marking the first postseason baseball on NBC since 2000 under a new rights deal, while the League Championship Series round airs on TBS, truTV and HBO Max, and the World Series airs on FOX. The Red Sox reached the 2026 postseason as the American League’s fifth seed; MLB’s Gameday and the MLB App track postseason games exactly the same way they track the regular season.

Which option should I use to follow the Red Sox?

It depends on whether you want a quick score, full video, or just audio — here’s the 2026 lineup side by side.

Whichever option you pick, MLB’s Gameday and the MLB App remain the fastest free way to confirm a Red Sox score the moment it happens, while NESN, MLB.TV, and WEEI cover you for full video or audio depending on where you’re watching from.
