How to Watch Korean Baseball: Stream KBO from Anywhere on the Planet

A month after the scheduled start of the Major League Baseball season, baseball stadiums across the country remain empty. But until baseball resumes in this country, baseball fans have a little something to look forward to.

In South Korea, where the number of people infected with the coronavirus has declined, live sports are resuming, led by the opening of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) season. And in the United States, baseball games can be seen live (albeit at odd times, given the time difference from Korea).

Even though several American players are playing in the KBO, you may not recognize the players or teams. But this is a live sport, and it is easy to watch. Here's a closer look at how to watch KBO baseball games and the VPN and live stream options to catch all the action.

Can't find a KBO game being broadcast in your area? Virtual Private Networks can help by spoofing your location when you are surfing so that you can pick up any streaming option available wherever you are.

The best VPN we tested is ExpressVPN. It supports a wide variety of devices and doesn't take long to get up and running.

Assuming you are reading this from the United States, ESPN is the place to find live coverage of KBO action. This sports channel has a contract with the Korean League to broadcast games in this country.

With the exception of the season opener on ESPN on Tuesday at 1 a.m. EDT, most games are broadcast on ESPN2. Tuesday through Friday games typically begin at 5:30 a.m. EDT (2:30 a.m. EDT). Saturday games begin at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (1:00 a.m. GMT). Sunday can be viewed in the Pacific Time Zone at 1:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time / 10:00 p.m. Saturday.

ESPN states that it will broadcast six games per week.

Since ESPN provides coverage to the United States, live streams of the broadcasts are available on the sports channel's website. ESPN also broadcasts live streams on its mobile apps (Android and iOS), Apple TV and set-top box apps.

However, to enjoy ESPN's live stream, you must sign in using your cable company's login information. Otherwise, if you cut cable, you are out of luck.

You can still watch KBO games, but you will likely have to sign up for a streaming service that includes ESPN in the channel package. The good news is that you have several options, with some services at lower costs than what you would have to pay for cable. Here's a look at the best options for live streaming Korean baseball coverage on ESPN.
