Reds announce new way to watch games in 2026, introduce Reds.tv
The Reds shift to direct-to-consumer streaming with MLB-produced broadcasts as regional sports networks face collapse, ensuring uninterrupted access for Cincinnati-area fans.
- On Monday, the Cincinnati Reds announced Reds.tv as their new TV home for the 2026 season, with subscriptions available soon and Major League Baseball producing in-market broadcasts.
- Amid reports of missed RSN payments, Main Street Sports Group and FanDuel Sports Network ran into cash-flow trouble, and last month nine MLB teams terminated contracts, prompting alternatives; Puck's John Ourand reported the Reds moved to MLB.
- Pricing details show Reds.tv will go on sale February 10, 2026, with a full-season cost of $99.99 or $19.99 per month.
- Carriers and channel assignments remain to be finalized, with information on cable and satellite providers and specific channel locations announced soon, while pay-TV authentication will shape in-market access for fans.
- The move fits a broader leaguewide pivot as Major League Baseball now produces local broadcasts for multiple clubs, with the Reds among six teams leaving Main Street Sports, Puck reporter John Ourand reported.
