What Radio Station Are the Mets On

The Mets are on 880 AM (WHSQ) in the New York metropolitan area, the local English-language home of Audacy’s Mets Radio. You can also listen free through the Audacy app or website if you’re within the eligible streaming area. Here’s how to tune in, find Spanish-language coverage, and hear the real-time broadcast at Citi Field.

Mets Radio Reception vs. Online Streaming

Being outside the station’s reception range does not necessarily put you outside its free streaming territory.

An over-the-air radio needs to receive the station’s signal clearly. Reception depends on your location, surroundings, receiver, and interference from nearby electronics.

An online player needs an internet connection to play the game broadcast. The free Mets stream reaches beyond the New York radio signal.

How to Listen to the Mets Game

Choose the method that fits your device and connection.

Your Situation	Best Listening Method	What You Need
You want to listen without internet access	AM radio	An AM receiver within reception range
You want to listen on your phone	Mobile app	Internet access and an eligible streaming location
You don’t want to install an app	Web browser	Internet access and an eligible streaming location

On an AM Radio

Select the AM band on your car radio, home receiver, or portable radio.
Tune to 880 AM, the local frequency for Audacy’s Mets Radio. The station’s current call sign is WHSQ.
Raise the volume to a comfortable level and listen for the game broadcast.

A radio receiver does not need an Audacy account, mobile data, or a subscription to receive the over-the-air broadcast. An FM-only receiver, however, cannot tune an AM station.

In the Audacy App

Open the App Store on an iPhone or Google Play on an Android phone. Search for “Audacy” and install Audacy’s free app.
In the app, find Mets Radio, Audacy’s English-language Mets game stream.
Select the stream and press play. During a game, confirm that you’re hearing live play-by-play rather than an on-demand clip or podcast.

Audacy carries every Mets game this season on Mets Radio. The app is free, though listening over a cellular connection uses mobile data.

In a Web Browser

Open Audacy’s Mets Radio web player at audacy.com.
Press play. If the browser does not start audio automatically, select the play control yourself.
Check that the player and your device are not muted, then listen for the live broadcast.

Where the Free Mets Stream Works

Free game streaming through Audacy’s Mets Radio is available in these areas:

New York: The entire state.
Connecticut: The entire state.
New Jersey: The state except Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, and Salem counties.
Pennsylvania: Carbon, Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Lycoming, Monroe, Montour, Northumberland, Pike, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Union, Wayne, and Wyoming counties.

These are streaming boundaries, not a map of where an AM radio can receive the station. For example, a listener elsewhere in New York State may qualify for the free stream even when the radio signal is weak.

SiriusXM is a subscription alternative for Mets broadcasts; check its current game listings and confirm that your plan includes the Mets feed before subscribing. Use the listing for the particular game rather than relying on a channel number from an old playoff article.

How to Hear the Mets in Spanish

Choose the Spanish radio channel or the dedicated Spanish stream.

On an HD Radio Receiver

For local Spanish-language Mets coverage, tune to 92.3 FM HD-2 in the New York metropolitan area.

Select the station, allow the digital channels to become available, and choose its HD-2 subchannel. Then adjust the volume and listen for the Spanish broadcast.

Simply tuning the main FM frequency is not enough; the receiver must support HD Radio.

In the Audacy App

Open the Audacy app, find Mets en Español, and press play for Audacy’s Spanish-language Mets stream. Confirm that you’re hearing Spanish commentary.

You do not need an HD Radio receiver to use the app. You are choosing a separate stream, not changing a language setting within the English feed.

How to Listen Live at Citi Field

At Citi Field, use the in-stadium radio service in the MLB Ballpark app when you want commentary that follows the action in front of you.

SportsBug’s technology delivers this feed with a delay of fewer than one second. That makes it better suited to watching from your seat than a conventional internet radio stream, which can trail the action.

To listen:

Open the MLB Ballpark app while you’re inside Citi Field.
Find the in-stadium real-time radio listening option and select the Mets broadcast.
Connect your headphones, start playback, and check that the call follows the action on the field.

The service is free and works with any wireless carrier and any pair of headphones. It is a separate listening option from opening the ordinary station stream in another app.

If You Cannot Hear the Mets Game

First identify whether the problem is radio reception or online playback. Moving a receiver can improve a weak signal; it cannot resolve a streaming-location restriction.

A Weak or Noisy AM Signal

Try these adjustments in order:

Confirm that the receiver is on AM before tuning to the English flagship.
Move or rotate a portable radio. Try a position near a window and turn the whole receiver while listening for clearer speech.
Move away from electrical noise. Chargers, computers, LED lighting, and power supplies can interfere with AM reception.
Try battery power if the radio supports it. This can help rule out noise entering through its power supply.
Listen again before settling on a position. Keep the receiver where the commentary is clearest.

If reception remains poor and you’re in the eligible streaming area, start the online game stream instead.

A Blocked or Silent Online Stream

Check that your location is eligible for live game streaming. Being able to open the app or load the station page does not guarantee access to the game.
Check the player and device volume. Make sure playback is running and neither volume control is muted.
If you’re in-market, try Wi-Fi. For Audacy’s Mets Radio stream, connecting to Wi-Fi is a recommended troubleshooting step when eligible listeners have trouble playing the game.
Restart playback. Close and reopen the player, then press play again.
Try another listening method. If the app still fails, open the browser player; if internet playback remains unavailable, use an AM receiver where reception permits.

During a scheduled game, listen for live commentary and an update on the matchup or score to confirm that you have the right feed. Once it works, save a radio preset or bookmark the web player so you can start the next broadcast quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Mets Still on WCBS Radio?

The Mets remain on 880 AM, but the station’s current call sign is WHSQ rather than WCBS. Older references to “WCBS Mets radio” point to the former station identity, not a different frequency you need to find.

Who Are the Mets Radio Broadcasters Today?

Howie Rose, Keith Raad, and Pat McCarthy are the Mets’ radio broadcast team for the 2026 season. The lineup can vary by game; the broadcast’s on-air introduction will identify who is calling today’s action.

Can I Listen to Mets Radio in Kingston, New York?

Yes, Kingston is within the eligible territory for the free Mets Radio game stream in the Audacy app or web player because coverage includes all of New York State. You do not need a separate Kingston radio affiliate to use that stream, and online listening avoids having to depend on AM reception.

Does the Mets Radio Network have English affiliate stations besides 880 AM?

No. The English Mets Radio Network consists of one AM station, WHSQ at 880 AM in the New York metropolitan area. Listeners in the eligible streaming area can also hear Mets Radio through the Audacy app or web player without a separate local affiliate.

Can I listen to Mets games on an FM radio station?

Yes. In New York City, the English Mets broadcast is listed on 101.1 FM HD-2. For Spanish-language coverage in the New York metropolitan area, use 92.3 FM HD-2.
