T-Mobile Gives Baseball Fans a Secret New Way to Watch Baseball as Free MLB.TV Returns (Photo: Business Wire)
- What’s the news: Just in time for MLB Opening Day, T-Mobile is bringing free MLB.TV back for customers starting tomorrow, March 26 through Monday, April 1 with T-Mobile Tuesdays in the T Life app. To celebrate, the Un-carrier is unveiling the Secret Baseball Button, a custom device that lets people in the office watch baseball all day long without getting caught by a random “pop-in” from their boss. And the best part? Anyone (T-Mobile customer or not!) can enter for a chance to win their own button until March 31.
- Why it matters: Only T-Mobile customers get a free year-long subscription to MLB.TV (a $149.99 value), but too often things like a job (ugh!) get in the way of unlimited baseball watching. Until now. The Secret Baseball Button is a Bluetooth device that connects to a laptop, allowing fans to discreetly switch from baseball to “work” with the literal click of a button.
- Who it’s for: T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, Home Internet and Business customers and baseball fans across the country.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year … Baseball is back! For the ninth straight season, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced today that customers can get their free MLB.TV subscriptions starting tomorrow, March 26 — just in time to catch Opening Day on Thursday, March 28. To celebrate the return of baseball and one of its most popular customer perks, the Un-carrier also announced the debut of its new “Secret Baseball Button” — a first-of-its-kind, limited-run device that lets fans watch all the baseball they want, without worrying about distractions like getting caught at the office. And anyone, T-Mobile customer or not, can enter for a chance to win their own Secret Baseball Button starting today through Sunday, March 31 at SecretBaseballButton.com.
“T-Mobile customers love baseball — they streamed a record high of 52 million hours of MLB.TV last season! — so we wanted to do something special this year to ensure they can enjoy their free MLB.TV and all that baseball … with a simple tap of the Secret Baseball Button,” said Mike Katz, President of Marketing, Strategy and Products, T-Mobile. “And this is just one of the many perks T-Mobile customers get JUST for being customers. On top of free MLB.TV, customers have access to free Apple TV+, Hulu and Netflix and more with our value-loaded plans — in addition to the exclusive benefits and VIP experiences they get with Magenta Status.”
The Secret Baseball Button lets users seamlessly switch between baseball and “work” by connecting to a PC via Bluetooth. One click of the button and MLB.TV pops up in the computer’s default web browser. Another click, and a new tab that looks like a video call takes over the screen to provide the appearance of “working hard.” Click again, and it’s back to baseball (and likely hardly working for some). It’s an MLB fan’s dream.
Beginning today, anyone — T-Mobile customer or not — can visit SecretBaseballButton.com and enter for a chance to win a button. But hurry, the sweepstakes closes March 31.
