The Atlanta Braves are set to take a significant step in shaping their broadcasting future with the announcement of BravesVision, a multimedia platform that will become the official local television home for the team starting in the 2026 season. This development follows the Braves’ decision earlier this year to terminate their contract with FanDuel Sports Network, leaving fans in search of new ways to watch their beloved team.
BravesVision is poised to deliver over 140 regular season games, along with dedicated pre- and post-game coverage. Derek Schiller, President and CEO of the Braves, expressed enthusiasm about this new approach, stating, “This endeavor will bring the most vital link to our fanbase – our television broadcast – back under the control of our ballclub.” He emphasized the importance of transforming the way Braves baseball is shared, highlighting the goal of enhancing storytelling across all platforms.
For fans in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast, the critical question remains: how can they watch the games? The Braves have ensured that fans will have multiple tuning options available without any blackout restrictions. They will collaborate directly with cable, satellite, and streaming providers to implement what they describe as a “direct-to-distributor model,” with specifics about channel availability to be shared as negotiations are finalized.
Additionally, a selection of Braves games will continue to be broadcast for free over-the-air through a partnership with Gray Media, allowing the team to simulcast games on various stations across the Southeast. The full schedule of these games will be released ahead of Opening Day.
Streaming enthusiasts will also find BravesVision on MLB’s streaming service, Braves.TV. Fans can subscribe to gain access to all regular-season, non-nationally exclusive games without blackout limitations, with the option to include an out-of-market package that allows viewing of all MLB teams.
Furthermore, the partnership with Gray Media extends to spring training, where 15 games will be aired across 26 markets in the Southeast—a notable expansion from the previous year’s offerings.
The 2026 MLB season will kick off for the Braves at home against the Kansas City Royals on March 27 at Truist Park. The team will maintain its presence on national broadcasts through MLB’s partner networks, ensuring fans both locally and nationally do not miss out on the action. The Braves’ strategic broadcast shift marks an exciting new chapter for the franchise, aiming to strengthen connections with their fans and enhance the viewing experience.
