What MASN+ Is and Who Runs It

MASN+ is a streaming service owned and operated by Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, a regional sports broadcaster. It shows live games, replays, and original programming for the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals baseball teams, along with some college sports and other regional content. MASN+ is not a government program or housing benefit — it is a paid subscription service you purchase directly from the network.

If you arrived here looking for information about housing assistance, rental support, or government benefits, MASN+ is not what you need. This guide explains how the subscription itself works so you understand what you are paying for and how to access it.

Key Takeaways

  • MASN+ is a regional sports streaming service run by Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, not a housing or government program.
  • You subscribe directly through the MASN+ website or through cable and streaming providers that carry the service.
  • The subscription cost and what games are included vary depending on whether you subscribe directly or through another provider.
  • MASN+ requires an internet connection and a compatible device — phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device.
  • If you are looking for housing assistance, rental help, or government benefits, you are in the wrong section of this site.

How to Subscribe to MASN+

You can subscribe to MASN+ in two ways: directly through the MASN+ website, or through a cable or streaming provider that carries the service. Direct subscription means you pay MASN+ itself and stream through their app or website. Provider subscription means you already pay for cable or a streaming bundle (like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Fubo) that includes MASN+ as part of your package.

To subscribe directly, visit the MASN+ website, create an account with your email address, and choose a subscription plan. You will need a valid payment method — a credit card, debit card, or digital wallet. If you subscribe through a provider, you set up the subscription through that provider's app or website, and MASN+ access is added to your existing account.

The direct subscription route gives you access only to MASN+ content. The provider route may cost more overall but bundles MASN+ with other channels and services. Compare the cost and content of each option before you commit.

What Devices and Internet You Need

MASN+ streams over the internet, so you need a reliable connection and a compatible device. You can watch on a smartphone or tablet running iOS or Android, a computer running Windows or Mac, or a streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, or Google Chromecast. Some smart TVs have the MASN+ app built in.

Your internet speed should be at least 5 megabits per second (Mbps) for standard definition and 25 Mbps for high definition. If your connection is slower or drops frequently, you may experience buffering or picture quality issues. Test your speed using a free tool like Speedtest before you subscribe, so you know whether streaming will work reliably in your home.

What Games and Content Are Included

MASN+ carries most Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals regular season games, plus some playoff games depending on the year and broadcast rights. It also shows replays, pre-game and post-game shows, and original programming about the teams. The exact schedule changes each season and depends on which games MASN+ has the rights to broadcast.

Not every game is on MASN+. Some games air on national networks like MLB.TV, ESPN, or Fox instead. Check the MASN+ schedule before you subscribe to see whether the games you want to watch are actually included. If you want to watch all games regardless of which network broadcasts them, you may need more than one subscription.

Subscription Cost and Billing

The cost of MASN+ varies. Direct subscription through MASN+ has different price tiers depending on what content you want and how long you commit. Subscription through a cable or streaming provider is bundled into your overall bill and varies by provider. Contact MASN+ directly or your provider to learn the current price, because costs change and may differ by region.

Most subscriptions renew automatically each month or year, depending on your plan. You are charged on the same date each billing cycle unless you cancel. If you want to stop paying, you must cancel your subscription through your account settings or by contacting customer service — simply stopping use of the app does not stop the charges.

Canceling Your Subscription

To cancel a direct MASN+ subscription, log into your account on the MASN+ website, go to your account settings or subscription management page, and select the option to cancel. You may be asked why you are canceling, but you do not have to provide a reason. Cancellation usually takes effect immediately, though you may retain access through the end of your current billing period depending on the plan.

If you subscribed through a cable or streaming provider, cancel through that provider's app or website, not through MASN+ itself. Contact the provider's customer service if you cannot find the cancellation option. Keep a record of when you canceled in case you are charged again by mistake.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

If you cannot log into your MASN+ account, reset your password through the login page. If you forgot the email address you used to sign up, contact MASN+ customer service. If the app crashes or will not load, try uninstalling and reinstalling it, or restart your device and your internet router.

If you see a message that your subscription is not active even though you just paid, wait a few minutes — the system sometimes takes time to process. If the problem persists after an hour, contact MASN+ customer service with your account email and order number. If you are having trouble streaming — buffering, freezing, or low picture quality — the problem is usually your internet connection, not MASN+. Move closer to your router, restart your router, or reduce the number of devices using your internet at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch MASN+ outside the Mid-Atlantic region?

Yes. MASN+ is available nationwide if you subscribe directly or through a provider that carries it. Some games may be subject to regional blackout rules, which means they are blocked in certain areas to protect local broadcast rights. Check the MASN+ website or contact customer service to learn which games, if any, are blacked out in your location.

Do I need cable to watch MASN+?

No. You can subscribe to MASN+ directly without cable. You only need an internet connection and a compatible device. If you already have cable or a streaming service that includes MASN+, you can use that instead of subscribing separately.

Can I share my MASN+ account with family members?

MASN+ allows simultaneous streaming on a limited number of devices, usually two or three depending on your plan. Check your subscription terms to see how many devices you can use at the same time. Sharing your login with people outside your household may violate the terms of service.

What if I am having trouble with my payment or billing?

Contact MASN+ customer service with your account email and the date of the charge in question. They can tell you whether the charge went through, resend a receipt, or help you update your payment method. If you were charged twice by mistake, customer service can process a refund.

Is MASN+ the same as MLB.TV?

No. MASN+ is a regional service run by Mid-Atlantic Sports Network and shows Orioles and Nationals games plus regional content. MLB.TV is a national service run by Major League Baseball and shows games from all 30 teams, with blackout restrictions. They are separate subscriptions with different content and pricing.
