How to watch & listen to 2025 Marlins spring training games

[Ely Sussman]

The club's Grapefruit League game coverage will sound a little different this year. The ways that fans can access it have also changed.

The five-month drought without Miami Marlins baseball games mercifully ends this Saturday (sort of). They'll be embarking on a series of exhibitions against seven different MLB opponents leading up to Opening Day. Spring training wins and losses are completely inconsequential, but the Grapefruit League at least provides us with a glimpse of the Marlins' future, particularly during the first few weeks of action while so many prospects are still assigned to big league camp.

Last season's radio play-by-play announcer, Kyle Sielaff, is making the transition to television in 2025 and the club hired Jack McMullen to fill Sielaff's shoes.

With the exception of split-squad road games against the New York Mets (March 3), Washington Nationals (March 10) and Houston Astros (March 22), McMullen will call every spring training game with Stephen Strom hosting a 15-minute pregame show. Those broadcasts can be streamed through the MLB app and MLB.TV. Approximately half of the games are also being carried locally in South Florida on FOX Sports 940 AM Miami—those are the ones that say "WINZ" in the "broadcast" column of the table below.

In recent years, the Marlins often set up a camera in the pressbox behind home plate to produce a video feed on Marlins.com that was synced with the radio broadcast's audio. Unfortunately, those streams will not be happening this spring.

Radio Mambí 710 AM WAQI will have Spanish broadcasts of nine exhibition games.

FanDuel Sports Network Florida—previously known as Bally Sports Florida—will have spring training TV coverage on March 11, March 16, March 17, March 18 and March 20. Only two of those will be conventional Marlins broadcasts featuring Sielaff and an FDSN Florida analyst (3/17 and 3/20). The other three are matchups against the St. Louis Cardinals, which will be shared productions with FDSN Midwest. That includes sharing TV talent by pairing Sielaff with a Cardinals analyst or pairing Chip Caray with a Marlins analyst.

Just in time for spring training, FanDuel Sports Network has partnered with Amazon Prime Video, offering a $19.99 per month subscription as an alternative for local fans who don't have cable (or don't have FDSN Florida included in their cable package). That Prime Video add-on will carry the same broadcast that regular TV viewers get.

For MLB.TV subscribers, there are five additional games available to watch that'll be produced by the Marlins' opponents: February 23 (Mets), February 28 (Braves), March 6 (Braves), March 9 (Astros) and March 23 (Mets). Out-of-market fans can also find the 2/28 game on MLB Network. Some of the March ones could potentially be shown on MLB Network as well—I'll have confirmation as those dates get closer.
