How to Watch the Detroit Tigers on Xfinity: A Survival Guide for Frustrated Fans (and the Optimistic Few)
Ah, the Detroit Tigers. A team steeped in glorious tradition (that championship in '84, anyone?) and...well, let's just say some interesting recent seasons. But hey, that's why we love them, right? Die-hard fans through thick and thin!
But here's the thing, catching those Tigers games on Xfinity can feel a bit like trying to wrangle a runaway squirrel these days. Negotiations between Xfinity and Bally Sports (who hold the broadcast rights) are about as smooth as a ballpark nacho after a nine-inning rain delay.
So, how do you, the loyal Tigers fan, navigate this wacky situation and actually watch some baseball? Don't worry, we've got you covered. (Although, we can't guarantee your sanity if the team loses.)
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.

Here's the Deal:
- Xfinity Doesn't Currently Carry Bally Sports: This is the bad news. Due to the aforementioned contract squabble, Xfinity isn't showing Bally Sports channels, which means no Tigers games on your regular cable package. Bummer, right?
But Wait, There's More (Hopefully):
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
- Bally Sports App: Here's a glimmer of hope. You can download the Bally Sports app and subscribe directly to Bally Sports Detroit. This will get you access to Tigers games, but it'll cost you extra on top of your Xfinity bill. Think of it as a special Tigers tax.
Alternative Options (Because We Like Choices):
MLB.tv: This is the official Major League Baseball streaming service. You can subscribe to watch Tigers games (and potentially out-of-market games too!), but there are blackout restrictions, so check the details before you sign up. Nobody wants to pay to watch a game that's mysteriously blacked out in their area.
DirectTV or Other Providers: If you're feeling particularly adventurous (or desperate), you could consider switching cable or satellite providers. Just make sure they carry Bally Sports Detroit before you make the jump.
Remember:
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
- Stay Positive: Negotiations could change, and the Tigers might even start winning more games! (Okay, maybe that's wishful thinking, but a fan can dream, right?)
