How to watch Cincinnati Reds on TV in 2026 with & without cable: Full Streaming Guide

The Cincinnati Reds broadcast is going to look a little different in 2026. Say goodbye to FanDuel Sports Network and hello to RedsTV. The Reds were among several Major League Baseball teams who terminated their agreement with Main Street Sports — the parent company of FanDuel Sports Network. MLB will be the Reds' broadcast partner for the 2026 season.

RedsTV is a new direct-to-consumer streaming service that will allow in-market fans to watch their favorite team all season long. And here's the best part — no blackouts! Reds fans can subscribe to the new service for $99.99 for the entire season or $19.99 per month.

How to watch the Reds on cable in 2026

If you were able to watch the Reds through your cable or satellite provider in 2025, chances are good that you'll be able to do the same in 2026. Alta Fiber announced before the season that they had reached a long-term deal with MLB to broadcast Reds games on local channel 24.

Spectrum and Xfinity/ Comcast reached an agreement with MLB before Opening Day, and DirecTV subscribers should be able to access Reds games for the upcoming season. If you have any questions, contact your local cable or satellite provider for more details.

How to watch the Reds without cable in 2025

If you've cut the cord and are ready to watch Elly De La Cruz and Co. using your Roku, Fire Stick, or other streaming device, RedsTV is your ticket. If you live in the Reds regional TV territory — which includes parts of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and North Carolina — RedsTV may be available in your area.

DirecTV STREAM and Fubo TV should also broadcast in-market Reds games in 2026 provided it's part of your streaming package. If you live outside the the team's regional TV territory, you'll have to subscribe to MLB.TV in order to watch the Reds this season. DirecTV STREAM and Fubo TV may also provide access to many of Cincinnati's nationally televised games.

YouTubeTV, SlingTV, and Hulu+ Live TV will all offer select nationally televised games this season as well. ESPN chose to terminate their longstanding relationship with MLB and Sunday Night Baseball will now be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
