The New York Yankees wrap up their three-game set against the Minnesota Twins tonight at Yankee Stadium. Marcus Stroman and Pablo Lopez will get the starts.
This game is just about to begin, at 7:05 p.m. ET. It will be televised in local markets on either Bally Sports North or YES Network, while everyone else in the US can watch on MLB Network. Or, if you don’t have cable and want to stream MLB, we’ve put together some different ways you can watch a cable-free live stream of the Twins vs Yankees tonight.
Simply put, there is no cheaper way to watch a cable-free live stream of MLB Network than Sling TV.
The “Sports Extra” add-on (this can be added to either the “Sling Orange” or “Sling Blue” base channel package) includes both MLB Network and the MLB Network alternate channel. It’s normally $51 per month, which is already less expensive than other live-TV streaming service with MLB Network, but it’s currently available for your first month for just $31. You can also stream the NBA playoffs and stream the NHL playoffs (ABC/ESPN3) if you go the “Sling Orange” route.
Note that Sling doesn’t have regional sports networks, so this wouldn’t be an option if you’re trying to watch Bally Sports or YES Network, but it’s a tremendous value for those seeking a way to watch MLB Network without cable.
Not only are Fubo and DirecTV Stream the only live-TV streaming services to carry Bally Sports North (if you live in the Twins market) and YES Network (Yankees market), but they both come with a free trial. They also each have MLB Network (“Pro” plus “Sports Lite” bundle on Fubo; “Choice” package or above on DirecTV Stream). That means that no matter where you live in the United States, you can watch the Twins vs Yankees live stream for free on either of these services.
If you’re outside of the United States, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) in order to access any of the aforementioned streaming services, which are all typically US-only. NordVPN will do the job here, and it even comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Or, if you want some other options, you can also peruse our lists of the best VPN services or best VPN deals available right now.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
