What channel is Mariners vs. Yankees on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch Tuesday MLB game

On Tuesday, two American League contenders meet in an early heavyweight showdown when the New York Yankees face the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Both the Mariners and Yankees enter the 2026 MLB season as legitimate World Series threats, and this could be an early season preview for high-stakes games down the road.

After a 2025 season that saw them fall just short of the World Series, the Mariners enter the new year as one of the favorites in the American League. Seattle has one of the most talented pitching staffs in baseball, headlined by Logan Gilbert — who will take the bump Tuesday night — Bryan Woo, Luis Castillo and George Kirby. Combined with Cal Raleigh, Randy Arozarena, Julio Rodriguez, Josh Naylor and more, Seattle is looking to reach its first ever Fall Classic.

Standing in their way are the Yankees, who are searching for title No. 28. New York has already flashed its potential with a perfect 3-0 start to the season, outscoring the San Francisco Giants 21-8 behind a surging Aaron Judge and a vintage performance from Giancarlo Stanton.

While the lineup remains lethal, the rotation is currently being anchored by big-ticket offseason addition Max Fried, who stepped into the ace role with Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón beginning the year on the injured list. Fried will pitch for New York on Tuesday night, making his second start of the season after tossing 6.1 shutout innings on Opening Night against the Giants.

New York and Seattle can both be the final team standing come early November, and this early season clash serves as a high-stakes barometer for two rosters built with championship aspirations. While the Yankees are leaning on a star-studded lineup to bludgeon their way back to the Fall Classic, the Mariners are betting on the league's most disciplined pitching staff to stifle any offense in their path.
