Networks & Services Streaming the Washington Nationals This Year
The Washington Nationals are based in Washington, D.C. The team competes in the MLB’s National League East division along with New York, Miami, Philadelphia, and Atlanta. All home games are played at the National Park, on the South Capitol Street. The team once held the best record in baseball during the 1994 season. Subsequent shedding of key players caused the team to decline in popularity. The Nationals have never won a league pennant though they have won four east division titles.

Live Stream the Washington Nationals Without Cable
One of the drawbacks of conventional cable services is that it’s expensive and requires a long-term commitment. Online streaming services like Sling TV and DIRECTV NOW, don’t require a commitment. Subscribers pay for the month and channels they want to stream via the service’s mobile app. Sling TV starts at $20 a month with AT&T owned DIRECTV NOW with $35 with a slightly larger selection of channels with no data charges for streaming.
