MLB Network and YouTube TV were unable to reach an agreement on a contract renewal, meaning that YouTube TV will no longer carry the channel, according to an email that was sent to YouTube TV subscribers Tuesday. MLB Network issued a press release confirming that the two parties were unable to reach a deal, and that the channel will be leaving YouTube TV.

"With Spring Training about to start, we regret that YouTube TV has been unwilling to negotiate a fair carriage agreement," MLB Network said in a press release. "MLB Network has offered terms consistent with what close to 300 other U.S. providers have agreed to for distribution."

If you are a YouTube TV subscriber and do not want to be without MLB Network, with Spring Training quickly approaching, here's what you can do.

MLB Network is carried by a large variety of cable providers, such as AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV, DirecTV Stream, DISH Network, Spectrum, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV and Xfinity/Comcast. Viewers can explore the possibility of switching cable providers in order to get MLB Network.
