Safari not playing or re-playing MLB games. Chrome is.

Safari is not playing or replaying MLB baseball games on my iMac (Sonoma 14.6.1) or my MacBook Air (Tahoe, 26.3), but it is working fine on Chrome. I have been using Safari to watch games for years and all of a sudden it has stopped. I go to the page where the games are, *** and nothing happens. Thank you for any help.

Also, along with the updates, make sure you are not running a VPN that MLB may be blocking access while you are using Safari, or it may be an AdBlocker or other Extension you have installed on Safari. Check for Extensions at Safari > Settings > Extensions.


The MLB website does recommend you remove any Ad Blockers or Extensions.

  • We recommend turning off any ad block or pop up blocking browser extensions in your browser as they may interfere with video playback.

And finally remove your cache, cookie and browsing history on Safari.

First thing is you need to install update patches to both systems since they are out of date. It is entirely possible the issue is an outdated version of Safari. Sonoma is now at 14.8.4 and Tahoe is 26.5.2.
