FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Fans will have more ways than ever before to watch and listen to Fort Wayne TinCaps games during the 2023 season. In fact, for the first time, fans can watch every single TinCaps game for free.
All 132 games — home and road — will be available at no cost through the new Bally Live app. Not only can fans watch games on Bally Live, the app also provides the ability to interact with other viewers in a “crowd zone” chat, plus other unique features. In addition to TinCaps games, fans can watch live games for nearly all of Minor League Baseball’s 120 teams from Single-A through Triple-A — more than 7,00 games in total.

Meanwhile, fans can get additional value with a subscription to MiLB.TV. For just $29.99 for the year (or $3.99 per month), MiLB.TV is now part of MLB At Bat, meaning every TinCaps game can be streamed live or on-demand, and subscribers can also listen to every out-of-market Major League Baseball game live or on-demand as well.
