Some MLB fans who tuned in to watch Tuesday night’s game between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers saw part of a game roughly 3,000 miles away.
Shortly before the first pitch from Dodger Stadium, the SNY broadcast was recapping the 2024 NLCS, which took place between the two teams and ended with the Dodgers winning Game 6 at home to clinch the series. But right after showing the final out, the feed abruptly cut to Fenway Park for the FanDuel Sports Network West broadcast of the game between the Los Angeles Angels and Boston Red Sox.
An unusual glitch occurred at the beginning of Tuesday’s Mets vs. Dodgers game.

It took several minutes for the issue to be fixed. By the time the feed returned to SNY, Pete Alonso, New York’s No. 4 hitter, was batting with two outs and a runner on in the top of the first inning.
That was fixed late in the first inning. pic.twitter.com/qLmDb7nDKR

Notably, the issue seemed to be confined to the MLB.tv stream of SNY’s broadcast. Other SNY viewers didn’t seem to experience the same problem.
It also looks as though it was an MLB TV issue, or at least one that not all SNY customers dealt with. pic.twitter.com/BxVrelwl4Z

This is not the first time that MLB.tv has experienced a glitch this year. On Opening Day, fans from around the league complained of not being able to watch their favorite teams for several minutes.
Several fans made their frustrations known on Tuesday, as well.
Yo @MLBTV fix your ish. The Mets SNY broadcast is showing the Angels and Red Sox.

@MLBTV why is the SNY feed for the Mets/Dodgers game showing the Red Sox/Angels game right now?
