Washington Nationals fans who have yet to venture into the sports betting world might think it’s a taller task than it is. Don’t worry, we here at MDBetting.com have you covered on how to wager on the Washington Nationals on a sports betting site in Maryland.
BetMGM Sportsbook Maryland is the official sports betting partner of the Washington Nationals and has been since the industry was launched in DC in 2021. Announced in June of 2021, the Washington Nationals and BetMGM signed a multi-year contract, becoming the only sports betting app available at Nationals Park at the time.
As part of the deal, plans were also made to launch a retail BetMGM Sportsbook at Nationals Park, which opened later that year. Unlike other partnerships that professional sports teams in America have with sportsbooks, the BetMGM-Nationals agreement is an exclusive deal that prohibits the Nationals from new deals with other sports betting companies.

For residents of Maryland who have traditional cable and are looking to watch the Washington Nationals, they’ll have to have the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) to watch all non-nationally televised games.

For those who have cut the cord on traditional cable for streaming, the only option currently including MASN is DIRECTV STREAM. Note that Nationals games will be blacked out for MLB.TV subscribers in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area.
Beginning in the 2008 MLB Season, the Washington Nationals began playing their home games in Nationals Park, located in DC’s Navy Yard District. When the team first arrived in DC in 2005, they played their first two seasons at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, which has since discontinued all operations.
Becoming the first LEED-certified green professional stadium in the United States when it opened, Nationals Park was designed by Devrouax & Purnell Architects and Planners and HOK Sport with a total price tag of $784 million. With a capacity of 41,339, fans in the upper deck have a partial view of the Washington Monument and Capitol, making it one of MLB’s more scenic parks.
Located at 1500 South Capitol Street SE, Nationals Park is most easily accessible by the Washington Metro’s Navy Yard-Ball Park (Green Line) stop.

Formerly the Montreal Expos, the Washington Nationals as we know them today became a franchise in 2005, following 35 years of history north of the border. In the time since, there have been many ups and downs, culminating with the franchise’s first World Series in 2019.
As is often the case with teams who go the distance, however, the past few seasons have been tough for a franchise that was just recently at its pinnacle. Following a 2022 season that saw them finish with the worst record in Major League Baseball (MLB) of 55-107, the Nationals stumbled again in 2023, going just 71-91 to finish last in the National League East Division.
They will now enter their 20th season in our Nation’s Capital in 2024, still led by manager Dave Martinez who enters his sixth season at the helm. Unlike the last offseason, which saw many star Nationals depart, this one has remained stable with reliever pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. the only major departure.
Though the 2024 version of the Washington Nationals looks much different than their 2019 World Series team, stars Stephen Strasburg and Victor Robles are still in place, along with a host of young prospects. Can veteran manager Martinez turn things around once again?
