For some fans across the Southeast, getting the Atlanta Braves on television can be difficult, sometimes even impossible, given the league’s blackout restrictions. Hopefully, those issues will be sorted out completely sooner rather than later, but the Braves continue to make efforts to expand their reach. Most recently, the Braves have agreed to a multi-year broadcast partnership with Gray Media, who will televise 15 regular season games along with 10 Spring Training contests.
The Atlanta Braves and Gray Media have agreed on a multi-year broadcast partnership starting in 2025 for Gray to simulcast 15 regular season games alongside FanDuel Sports Network, the Braves’ rightsholder partner. The 15 regular season games will be spread across the season, and selected games will be announced at a later date. Gray will also exclusively produce and air ten spring training games.
The deal will increase the reach of the selected games, providing a new way to watch Braves baseball for more than 15 million households. Gray will carry the Braves in 24 markets across six states of the Braves’ home television territory – one of the largest in professional sports – and allow more fans to watch than ever before.
The Braves games will broadcast over-the-air on Peachtree TV Atlanta’s CW (WPCH 17.1) and Peachtree Sports Network (PSN) in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast through Gray’s network of broadcast stations, including Palmetto Sports & Entertainment Network, the Tennessee Valley Sports & Entertainment Network, and portions of the Gulf Coast Sport.
“Gray Media is thrilled to partner with the Atlanta Braves to bring baseball back to local broadcast television across the Southeast,” Gray Chairman and CEO Hilton Howell said. “We are proud to give Braves fans a new way to watch their favorite players and one of the best franchises in baseball history.”
