Do you want to watch MLB but find it unavailable in your country? Are you wondering if there is a way to watch blacked-out games on MLB.TV? Then this is the article for you.

We will discuss how to spoof or fake your MLB.TV location on iPhone, Android device, computer or Apple TV. Read on to get started.

What is MLB.TV?

Major League Baseball (MLB) offers a streaming service called MLB.TV, enabling fans to watch MLB games live and on-demand on various devices, including PCs, smartphones, tablets, and streaming boxes like Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku. Subscribers can access it in the United States and a few other countries.

To use MLB.TV, you need an active subscription and an internet connection. Once subscribed, you can access the service through the MLB.TV website or app on your chosen device. After logging in, you can explore available streams and choose the game you wish to watch, which will be streamed live to your device.

How Does MLB.TV Location Work?

MLB.TV has rules and regulations governing the location of users accessing the service. These regulations ensure that customers use the service in line with MLB's licensing agreements with broadcasters and other rights holders in different regions.

To register for MLB.TV, you must have a U.S. ZIP code and billing information. MLB.TV uses your IP address to pinpoint your location and, on mobile devices, it uses GPS. Based on your current location, MLB.TV determines which games to black out. Blacked-out games become accessible in the MLB.TV archive approximately 90 minutes after the game finishes.

Generally, MLB.TV is only accessible to users in the United States and a few other countries, and the content available to you may vary depending on your location. Some users can access every MLB game, while others may have access to only a few games or highlights.

Change MLB.TV Location on an Android

To change your MLB.TV location on Android using GPS spoofing tools, you can find a variety of options by searching for "fake GPS" on the Google Play Store. Some of these tools are free, some are not, and some may require rooting your phone.

For Android devices running Android 6.0 or newer, we recommend using a GPS spoofing app called FakeGPS Location Spoofer to easily pretend that your Android phone is somewhere else. The following instructions apply to all Android phones, including Samsung, Google, Huawei, and Xiaomi.

To use FakeGPS Location Spoofer, follow these steps:

  1. Download and install FakeGPS Free.
  2. When you open the app, accept the initial prompt to let the app access your phone's location.
  3. In the recent versions of Android, click While using the app (older versions might call this something different) on the prompt. Then Accept if you see the advertising message.
  4. Click OK to get through the tutorial walkthrough, and then select Enable on the message at the bottom of your screen about mock locations.
  5. Select Developer Settings on the screen, then at the end of the page, click on Select mock location app.
  6. Tap on FakeGPS Free.
  7. Go back to the app and search for the location you want to fake on your phone (you can also drag the map to place the pointer somewhere). If you're making a route, tap and hold on the map to drop place markers.
  8. Use the play button on the bottom left corner of the map to enable the fake GPS setting.

FakeGPS Location Spoofer

To check if your GPS location has been faked, close the app and launch Google Maps or another location-based app. To return to your true location, use the stop button.

If you want to try another Android location spoofer, the following free apps function similarly to FakeGPS Free: Fake GPS, Fly GPS, and Fake GPS Location.

Now you can continuously stream on the MLB app on your Android device.

Change MLB.TV Location on a PC

You can change the MLB.TV location of your PC's IP address with the help of a VPN. There are many reliable VPNs you can download on your PC. In this example, we will use ExpressVPN.

Follow these steps to change your location with ExpressVPN:

  1. To begin, download and install ExpressVPN.
  2. Then, launch the program and choose the location or closer to the location of the games you would like to watch and click the Connect icon.
  3. Finally, after connecting to your desired location, open your browser and go to MLB.TV.

With just a VPN, you can now watch the games you want on MLB.TV on your PC.

Change MLB.TV Location on an Apple TV

To change your location on an Apple TV, you must either subscribe to a VPN that offers Smart DNS proxies that can be configured directly on the Apple TV or use a VPN on your router.

You can search the internet for ways to use a VPN on your personal router.

After you set up your router with a VPN, connect it to your Apple TV, go to Settings > Network > Ethernet > and select the router that has VPN.

There you have it—all you need is a router with a VPN, and you're good to go.
