Q: Can I stream MLB games while I’m out of town?
A: When a user streams a local MLB team while in his/her home market, it enables a 30-day travel window for a device. The 30-day travel window begins when the user streams a local MLB team while out of market. After the 30-day travel window, the user will receive a blackout message. The user must return to the home market to stream a local MLB team on their device again. Each time a user streams a local MLB team on a device while in the home market, it resets the 30-day travel window.
When a user downloads the NBC Sports app for the first time while out-of-market and streams their local MLB team, they are granted a one-time two-day pass for a device. After two days, the user will receive a blackout message and must return to his home market to access a local MLB team on a device again.

A: Just as with televised MLB/NBA/NHL games on NBC Sports Regional Networks, availability of games via TV Everywhere is subject to territorial blackout restrictions.
Q: I am at work, in my local market on a desktop computer, but am blacked out?
A: In some instances, such as at work, some networks utilize a shared, out-of-state wireless or internet service provider.
