Baseball Fans Fume Over MLB App Glitches on Opening Day

Opening day of the 2025 MLB season hit a sour note for many fans, thanks to widespread technical issues plaguing the MLB app.

Baseball enthusiasts took to social media to vent their frustration over app crashes and glitches, which left them unable to follow their favorite teams’ games. Imagine paying for a service meant to enhance your fandom experience, only to be greeted by endless error messages—yikes!

At the time the problems started, two games were underway: the New York Yankees’ home opener against the Milwaukee Brewers and the Toronto Blue Jays’ showdown with the Baltimore Orioles. But with several other opening day games scheduled to begin shortly after, fans were left wondering if they'd miss out altogether on the action.

It’s worth noting that many fans shell out significant sums for MLB subscriptions. An MLBTV membership runs $150 annually, while the premium MLB At-Bat subscription—which includes live radio broadcasts—costs $29.99 per year. Given those price tags, you’d think flawless functionality would be part of the package. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

MLBTV's fan support team took to social media platform X to address the uproar, stating, "We are aware of this issue and expect a resolution shortly. Sorry for the delay." Well, better late than never, right?

Fox News Digital reached out to MLB for comment but received no immediate response. Meanwhile, fans are left hoping their pricey subscriptions will soon deliver the seamless experience they were promised.
