Twins baseball is back on the air—or, at least, it will be. On Thursday, the team released its complete broadcast schedule for spring training action, which is set to begin on Friday, Feb. 20, with an exhibition tilt against the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. Grapefruit League play will begin the following day, with the Twins facing their crosstown rivals, the Boston Red Sox.
In conjunction with Major League Baseball, 830 WCCO (WCCO-AM) and 102.9 The Wolf (KMNB-FM), along with the Treasure Island Baseball Network (TIBN), the Twins announced a comprehensive radio broadcast schedule, which will give fans free access to 25 games via a combination of over-the-air and streamable broadcasts through the Audacy and MLB.TV apps. (Notably, nine of these games will be exclusive to the Audacy app.)
The team also confirmed that 22 games will be available for fans to watch live via their direct-to-consumer Twins.TV platform. Anyone can register for a free account that will feature these spring training games, and regular-season MLB.TV subscribers will also have access through their account. Linear subscribers will also be able to access these games through their cable, satellite and multichannel video providers. Subscription packages for Twins.TV, as well as league-wide packages, will be available for fans to purchase or renew starting on February 10.
Two games will also be featured for free on FOX 9 (KMSP-TV). Their Saturday, March 14 tilt against the Tampa Bay Rays and a Friday, March 20 matchup with the reigning American League champion Toronto Blue Jays will kick off the second year of limited free over-the-air broadcasts, with a handful of regular-season games following throughout the year. Seven other spring training games will be aired on FOX 9+.
Of these 22 streamable games, 15 will be Twins-produced broadcasts. A dozen of these will be simulcast with radio productions.
Familiar faces and voices will be featured on these various broadcasts, including Twins.TV’s Cory Provus, radio play-by-play voice Kris Atteberry, Twins Hall of Famer Dan Gladden and National Baseball Hall of Famer Paul Molitor.
Highlights of this spring schedule include a matchup with Team Puerto Rico on March 4 before they head to the World Baseball Classic, and an all-prospect face-off between the Twins’ top youngsters and those of the Philadelphia Phillies on March 19.
Here’s the full schedule, with game times, ways to watch and broadcasters scheduled to handle the contests. Happy viewing.
