The Braves did something in 2026 that almost no other team has done: they built their own television network from scratch. BravesVision launched as an exclusive in-house operation, replacing the previous Bally Sports arrangement and giving Atlanta direct control over every aspect of how fans watch the team. It is a bet that the future of regional sports television belongs to the teams, not the networks.
For fans, the practical impact is a cleaner setup with more free content than most markets get.
Braves.TV: $99 for the Season
Braves.TV is the direct streaming companion to BravesVision. It costs $99.99 for the full season or $19.99 per month (monthly billing starts March 23). Subscribers get 140+ regular season games with no local blackout restrictions, streamed live and on demand.
The service works on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Roku, Chromecast, PlayStation, Xbox, and Samsung, LG, and Android smart TVs. If you have a screen, it probably runs Braves.TV.
A-List and Premium Members get 30% off the season subscription, bringing the annual cost down to about $70.
For fans who want the full MLB package, a Braves.TV plus MLB.TV bundle runs $199.99 per season or $39.99 per month.
Free Games Across the Southeast
Through a partnership with Gray Media, the Braves are broadcasting games for free on local over-the-air stations across 26 markets in the Southeast. This includes 18 spring training games and a selection of regular season games simulcast on Gray's local affiliates.
The specific regular season OTA schedule was set to be announced prior to Opening Day. Visit bravesongray.com to find your local station.
A basic HDTV antenna ($15-30) picks up these local broadcasts plus national games on Fox (Saturday) and NBC (Sunday Night Baseball). The Braves' national TV presence is solid -- expect 15+ appearances across Fox, NBC, ESPN, and MLB Network. Between the Gray partnership and national windows, Braves fans with an antenna get real, regular free content throughout the season.
The Blackout Territory Issue
The Braves have one of the largest blackout territories in baseball, covering a six-state footprint across the Southeast. Standard MLB.TV subscriptions do not work inside this territory -- you will hit blackout restrictions. Braves.TV is the only streaming option for in-market fans.
For fans outside the six-state territory, MLB.TV covers every game at $19.99 per month or $99.99 per season.
What This Costs You
| Option | Cost | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Gray Media OTA + antenna | $15-30 one-time | Free spring training + select regular season + national broadcasts |
| Braves.TV | $99.99/season or $19.99/mo | 140+ games, no blackouts |
| Braves.TV (A-List members) | ~$70/season | Same as above, 30% discount |
| Braves.TV + MLB.TV | $199.99/season or $39.99/mo | Braves + every out-of-market game |
| MLB.TV (out-of-market) | $19.99/mo or $99.99/season | All games outside the Southeast territory |
Ownership Has Its Benefits
When a team owns its own network, fans tend to win. Braves.TV at $99.99 per season is one of the cheapest full-access streaming options in baseball. Free OTA games across 26 markets in the Southeast go further than what most teams offer. And the 30% member discount is a genuine incentive for season ticket holders.
The one thing no streaming service or TV network handles for you is the daily rhythm of being a fan. Tonight's starter and game time, last night's box score, where Atlanta sits in the NL East, who just hit the IL, what the beat reporters are saying. Small Ball is a free daily Braves email that covers all of it in one morning read. It pairs with Braves.TV the same way a pregame show pairs with the broadcast -- except it is in your inbox before your first cup of coffee.
