Braves’ TV Future Uncertain as Six Teams Join MLB Media
The Atlanta Braves are currently navigating a complex landscape regarding their television broadcast partnership. This uncertainty arises after the team decided not to continue with Main Street Sports Group, the operator of Fanduel Sports Network.
MLB Media’s Expansion
Interestingly, six out of the other eight teams in Major League Baseball have solidified their media partnerships. The teams that have transitioned to MLB Media include:
- Brewers
- Marlins
- Rays
- Royals
- Cardinals
- Reds
In contrast, the Braves, Detroit Tigers, and Los Angeles Angels have yet to finalize similar agreements. The St. Louis Cardinals’ move to MLB Media stands out as particularly surprising.
Future Broadcast Deals
This shift appears to be set for 2026, with long-term media rights deals expected to materialize by 2029. While the Braves have some time to secure a new television partner, there is currently a lack of information regarding where fans can watch games beyond the 2025 season.
The Braves organization is exploring options, but whispers of potential partnerships remain elusive. Additionally, it’s worth noting the recent increased activity from Gray Media, which has been actively advertising sales positions. Whether this indicates a larger strategy or simply routine hiring is yet to be determined.
As the situation develops, fans and stakeholders alike are eager to discover the future of Atlanta Braves baseball broadcasts.
