Baseball fans in New York look forward to the pinnacle of their seasons every year and often find it in the Subway Series' Yankees vs Mets live streams. For 2023, the New York Yankees make the cross-town trip to face the New York Mets at Citi Field, and, given the state of both teams, it should be an exciting matchup.
Read on and we'll show you how to watch from anywhere with a VPN from anywhere.
Date: Tuesday, June 13 (Game 1)
Time: 7.05 p.m. ET / 4.05 p.m. PT / 12.05 a.m. BST / 9.05 a.m. AEST
Stream in the U.S.: Stream TBS with Sling
Watch from anywhere: with ExpressVPN.
With both Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso out for the series, both teams will have to dig a bit deeper to scrounge up some big hits if they plan to take the two-game series.
It's no secret the Mets have been struggling as of late, having won only one of their last nine, but the NY rivalry does tend to bring out the best in both teams. Mets owner Steve Cohen opened his wallet in the off-season, and it hasn't yet paid off for the Mets.
The Yankees have had their fair share of struggles early on as well. While the Rays took charge of the division, the Yanks fell a bit short in some big games, but have since gathered themselves and are starting to look like the Yankees everyone knows and loves.
It doesn't help that the likes of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and other big roster names are out of the lineup for the Mets vs Yankees series. With only two games (as opposed to the standard three) in the series, every hit really does count.
It's one of the biggest rivalries in baseball, and here's everything you need to know to watch a Yankees vs Mets live stream online from anywhere.

Yankees vs Mets live streams in the U.S.
Yankees vs Mets live streams in the U.S.
This Yankees vs Mets series is spread across two channels.
While most streamers are lacking YES – and a few SNY as well – you won't have to stress for this Subway Series as the games will be broadcast on TBS (game 1) and ESPN (game 2) which are widely available on a number of streaming services.
Sling TV Orange & Blue ($55 per month) is your best bet for watching the Yankees vs. Mets this season as the inexpensive streaming platform carries both TBS and ESPN. In addition to the Subway Series, you can catch many other sporting events across various channels with Sling.
If Sling isn't your thing and you want a multitude of other channel options as well, Fubo ($74 per month), YouTube TV ($73 per month), and Hulu + Live TV ($70 per month) all offer ESPN, while all but Fubo offer TBS.
One of the best options for watching nationally-broadcast MLB action is the Sling TV Blue + Orange package, which costs $55. For another $15 per month, you can get the MLB Network tacked on, along with NBA TV, the NHL Network, NBA TV, Tennis Channel, FS2, and more. Local FOX and NBC affiliates are included, as well as SNY in the New York market.
MLB.TV is here to save the day for your Yankees vs. Mets live stream needs too – providing you're outside of the New York market. Thanks to MLB blackout restrictions, only those who live elsewhere – or New York fans that may be traveling – will be able to stream via MLB.TV.
If you happen to be traveling and need to catch your team in-market, you can get around this by taking the VPN route which will virtually re-locate you, making it look like you're accessing the service from elsewhere in an out-of-market location.
A subscription to MLB.TV costs $149.99 for the season (up $100 from 2022), though a single-team package is also available, costing $129.99. You can also pick up a far cheaper temporary subscription for $24.99 per month.
