The youthful Miami Marlins are out to establish an identity and improve on last year’s fourth-place finish in the NL East when they take the field in 2022.
In 2022, most Marlins games will be locally televised on Bally Sports Florida, while others may be nationally televised on MLB Network (those ones will also be on Bally Sports Florida), ESPN, ESPN2, Fox or Fox Sports 1.
If you don’t have cable, here are some different ways you can watch every Marlins game live online in 2022, including options for both in-market and out-of-market viewers:

ESPN+
This isn’t going to be an option to watch many Marlins games, but if you’re looking for a cheap way to watch a random MLB game daily, ESPN+ includes at least one out-of-market game every day during the regular season:
In addition to one live MLB game every day, ESPN+ also has dozens of other live sports, every 30-for-30 documentary and additional original content (both video and written) all for $6.99 per month.
Or, if you also want Disney+ and Hulu, you can get all three for $13.99 per month. Separately, the three streaming services would cost a total $20.97 per month, so you’re saving about 33 percent:

Marlins Season Preview 2022
The Miami Marlins are looking to bounce back from a 95-loss season in 2021 and hold their own in what expects to be a highly-competitive NL East division this year.
The Marlins retooled in the offseason by bringing in a few new bats who will be inserted into the starting lineup – outfielders Avisaíl García and Jorge Soler and catcher Jacob Stallings.
García and Soler will add immediate pop to the middle of the Marlins’ order. García put up 29 home runs and 86 RBIs in Milwaukee last season, while Soler hit 27 home runs and drove in 70 runs playing for the Royals and Braves. The 30-year-old Soler shined on baseball’s brightest stage last October for the Braves and took home the World Series MVP award after picking up 6 hits and 6 RBIs in the Fall Classic.
Stallings, who won a Gold Glove last season with the Pirates, promises to be a stable presence behind the plate for a youthful starting rotation.
The rotation, which featured 18 different starters last year, ranked 13th in the Majors in ERA (4.08). The average age of the projected five-man starting rotation going into this season is just over 25.
Sandy Alcantara will be the opening day starter and is coming off a year in which he was one of only three pitchers in the MLB to strike out 200 batters and throw 200 innings. Alcantara will be joined by Trevor Rogers, who finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2021, Pablo López, Elieser Hernandez, and Jesús Luzardo.
“I think we can win, and I think that’s the key,” said Marlins manager Don Mattingly during Spring Training. “I think we believe we can win. Our group believes it. Now we’ve got to go prove it. We’ve got to go execute; we’ve got to do the things it takes to win. But I believe we can win. Our coaching staff believes we can win. I feel like our players believe that we can win, and that’s really what matters the most.”
Here’s a look at what the Marlins will bring to the table this season, as they look to get back to the playoffs for the first time during a full season since 2003 (they made the MLB Playoffs during the COVID-shortened 2020 season):
