The app is free for fans who are already subscribers.

The direct subscription option will be an excellent complement to the existing partnerships we have with TV providers to bring NESN to all homes in New England.

Fans will still need access to other broadcast networks for nationally-syndicated games, even though the monthly subscription is $29.99, and the network is pricey. The annual subscription costs $329.99 per year and includes 8 tickets to a Red Sox game of your choice.

The world of sports is embracing streaming more and more. Select New York Yankees games will only be streamed on Prime Video for in-market customers. The first regional sports network to launch a streaming service won't be the last. Sinclair Broadcasting Group and NBC Universal are preparing direct-to-consumer options for the regional sports networks.

You can download the game on your computer, mobile device, Apple TV or Roku device. For the first month, both annual and monthly subscribers will be charged $1.

For Boston fans who live outside of New England, a better option would be to go with MLB.TV, which has the rights to out-of-market games but still has to sell out games in your region. You can get a monthly subscription to MLB.tv for $24.99, or you can get a single team subscription for $299 a year.
