It's only the first weekend of spring training, but Yankees vs. Mets gets the juices flowing regardless of where it falls on the calendar. The New York rivals square off Sunday in Tampa, still knocking off a bit of rust as they ease into their Grapefruit League schedules.

Mets games are broadcast primarily on SNY Network during the regular season, which can be streamed on DIRECTV (free trial). The best channel to catch the 2026 Mets Regular Season on is SNY Network, which will carry more than 100 New York Mets games this season. SNY Network is only available in the New York market.

Mets skipper Carlos Mendoza announced that a handful of players -- Luis Robert Jr., Francisco Alvarez, Jorge Polanco, and Brett Baty -- are currently "on a progression" and will not appear in Grapefruit League games right away.
