For Major League Baseball, open MLB Gameday in the MLB app or a web browser to follow live scores, pitch-by-pitch updates, box scores and the play feed. The MLB app also lists personalized player alerts and lock-screen Live Activities. ESPN is another option for scores and alerts, while Minor League Baseball has a separate official MiLB app.
Choose the right app for the league
For MLB, start with MLB Gameday. MLB says you can follow games in the MLB app for iOS and Android or in a browser. Its game pages include live scores, pitch-by-pitch data, box scores, highlights and a feed of every play.
For Minor League Baseball, use the separate MiLB app. MLB describes it as the official app for the 120 MiLB clubs, with scores, stats, news, highlights, rosters and broadcasts.

How to follow a game on your phone
- Choose your source. Install the MLB app or open MLB Gameday in your browser for an MLB game. For a Minor League game, look for it in the MiLB app.
- Find the game or team. Open the game you want to follow; the live game page is where you can check the score and play feed.
- Check the detail you need. Use the score for a quick update, or follow the play feed and pitch-by-pitch data to see how the game is developing. The live box score provides game statistics, and highlights offer video moments when available.
- Set personalized updates if you use the app. The MLB app listing describes options to follow favorite teams and players, including followed-player on-deck alerts. Exact controls may vary by app version and operating system, so look in the current app settings rather than relying on a fixed menu path.

Can you see a live score on the lock screen?
The MLB app listing describes Live Activities on the lock screen, along with followed-player alerts. These are app features, and availability can depend on the current app version and device settings. The listing does not establish a universal setup path, so check the app and your phone’s current notification or Live Activities settings.
Do live scores require a subscription?
Do not confuse score-checking with watching or listening to a broadcast. MLB describes its app as a free download, while identifying some out-of-market video and audio as subscriber content or subject to authentication. Check the current terms for a particular broadcast; the listed media restrictions do not mean a video subscription is required simply to check a score.
