Cable Cutters, Rejoice! Streaming the Braves
For those who've ditched cable and embraced the streaming life, there are a couple of options to catch the Braves.
- Bally Sports on Demand: This is your golden ticket if you live in Braves Country (that's anywhere a Braves fan bleeds red). Bally Sports South and Bally Sports Southeast televise most Braves games, and you can stream them with a subscription to services like DirecTV STREAM or FuboTV. Just sign in with your fancy login info and voila! Instant Braves.
- MLB.TV: This is a great option for catching all MLB games out-of-market (meaning, you're not physically in Braves territory). There are blackout restrictions, so you might miss some local games, but you'll get access to most others. Be warned: This option requires a separate subscription, but hey, no commercials during pitching changes!
The Old-Fashioned Way: Cable TV
For those who still rock cable, things are nice and simple. Bally Sports South and Bally Sports Southeast are your go-to channels for most Braves games. Tune in, grab some snacks (preferably Braves-themed – popcorn in red and white cups, anyone?), and settle in for some baseball bliss.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
Pro Tip: Check your local listings to make sure you have the right channel numbers.
But Wait, There's More! Catching the National Broadcasts
Some Braves games get the national spotlight, appearing on networks like FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS, and even Apple TV+. Keep an eye on the schedule (the MLB website is a great resource) to see if your desired game is getting the national treatment.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
Remember: You might need a cable or streaming service subscription to watch these games, depending on the network.
