How to watch NY Mets vs. Atlanta Braves without cable: Series schedule, TV channels, live stream
The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves square off in a crucial, end-of-the-season three-game series at Truist Park starting Friday, September 30 (9/30/2022) with Hurricane Ian looming in the background.
Each game of the series is available to watch and stream nationwide, but they’re all on different channels. Fans will need a comprehensive live TV service like fuboTV or DirecTV Stream in order to stream all three games. Here’s the Mets vs. Braves schedule, all times ET:
- Game 1, Friday, Sept. 30, 7:20 p.m. on SNY, Bally Sports Southeast, MLBN. Stream on fuboTV, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV.
- Game 2, Saturday, Oct. 1, 7:20 p.m. on FOX. Stream on fuboTV, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV.
- Game 3, Sunday, Oct. 2, 7:08 p.m. on ESPN. Stream on fuboTV, DirecTV Stream, Sling, Vidgo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV.
The Mets head into the matchup leading the Braves by just a single game, and the race for the National League East could very well run right up to the end of the season. This series, however, will set up both teams for the big finish, and could end up determining who clinches the division, and which team is destined for a Wild Card berth.
As if that wasn’t enough to catch your attention, the specter of Hurricane Ian looms on the horizon as the storm moves up the coast. The MLB has discussed contingency plans with the Mets and Braves in the event that the storm affects the series, according to officials.

Story by The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — The first-place New York Mets are calling up top prospect Francisco Álvarez for their pivotal weekend series against the Atlanta Braves, according to a person familiar with the decision.
The person confirmed the move to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday night because the Mets had not yet announced the transaction.
The 20-year-old Álvarez is rated the No. 1 overall prospect in baseball by MLB.com, which reported his promotion earlier. He batted .260 with 27 home runs, 78 RBIs and an .885 OPS combined at Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse this season.
New York leads the NL East by one game over the defending World Series champion Braves heading into their three-game series in Atlanta that begins Friday night. Both teams are headed to the playoffs and have six games remaining in the regular season.
The division winner earns a first-round bye, while the second-place finisher will be the top NL wild card and host a best-of-three postseason series starting Oct. 7.
Álvarez, a catcher and right-handed hitter, figures to be used as the Mets’ designated hitter against left-handed pitching — including Friday’s scheduled Braves starter, Max Fried.
New York has received little production from right-handed hitters Darin Ruf and rookie Mark Vientos at DH since sending J.D. Davis to San Francisco at the Aug. 2 trade deadline.
Left-handed hitter Daniel Vogelbach is New York’s regular DH against right-handers.
