Getty Carlos Correa joins the Minnesota Twins in 2022
Though pretty much everything went wrong a year ago, the Minnesota Twins–after a couple of massive offseason acquisitions in Carlos Correa and Sonny Gray–have the pieces in place to challenge the White Sox atop the AL Central in 2022.
In 2022, most Twins games will be locally televised on Bally Sports North, while others may be nationally televised on MLB Network (those ones will also be on Bally Sports North), ESPN, ESPN2, Fox or Fox Sports 1.
If you don’t have cable, here are some different ways you can watch every Twins game live online in 2022, including options for both in-market and out-of-market viewers:

The MLB.TV channel costs either $24.99 per month to watch every out-of-market game (“All Team Pass”) or $109.99 for the year to just watch out-of-market Twins games (“Single Team Pass”), but either option comes with a free seven-day trial:

You can watch all out-of-market, non-nationally televised MLB games via MLB.TV. It costs $24.99 per month or $129.99 for the year to watch every out-of-market game, or $109.99 for the year to just watch out-of-market Twins games. The monthly and yearly all-team options include a free seven-day trial (the single-team option does not):

ESPN+
This isn’t going to be an option to watch many Twins 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:
