Cable Cutters, Rejoice! Streaming the Braves
Forget tangled wires and overpriced cable packages. These days, streaming is king, and catching the Braves is no different. Here are a few options to get your baseball fix:
- Bally Sports: This is your one-stop shop for most Braves games, especially those in your region. You can stream Bally Sports South or Southeast with a subscription to services like DirectTV STREAM or FuboTV. Just sign in with your login info and voila! Instant Braves.
- MLB.TV: This is the official Major League Baseball streaming service. While it offers blackout restrictions for in-market games, it's a great option if you're traveling or want to catch games from other teams. But be warned, you might accidentally fall in love with another team's star player...we won't judge (too much).
The Old-Fashioned Way: Tuning in with Cable
For those who prefer the comfort of a remote and a big screen TV, fear not! The Braves are still available on traditional cable.
- Bally Sports South/Southeast: This is still your home base for most Braves games. Just channel surf your way to victory (or defeat...but hopefully victory).
- National Broadcasts: Some Braves games are also broadcast on national networks like FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS, and even Apple TV+. Keep an eye on the schedule to see where to find these.
Pro Tip: Snag a Braves fan friend with cable and leverage the power of friendship...and maybe bring some dip for the occasion.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
How to Spot a Braves Fan in the Wild
While you're settling in to watch the game, here's a quick guide to identifying fellow Braves fans:
- Uniform: Look for the unmistakable red jerseys with the tomahawk logo.
- Rally Cry: If you hear a booming "Chop, Chop, Chop!" erupt during the game, that's your crew.
- Tears (of Joy or Sorrow): Braves fans wear their hearts on their sleeves (and possibly their faces) during a close game.
Bonus points for anyone sporting a Freddie Freeman jersey or a vintage Greg Maddux cap.

How to blackout restrict my friends who live out of market so they have to suffer through terrible local teams?

High fives, cheers, and maybe even a celebratory "Chop, Chop, Chop!" Just be sure to check your surroundings for any fragile objects...enthusiasm can get a little out of hand sometimes.
