FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) – Detroit Tigers fans have new ways to watch their favorite team this season.
Detroit SportsNet has secured its first distribution agreements just before the Detroit Tigers season opener on Thursday.
Ben Fidelman, the vice president of communications and broadcasting at Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, said on Wednesday that the first few distribution agreements are rolling in. He said they expect more to come in during the next 24 hours as other deals are finalized.
Charter/Spectrum will carry the channel on Channel 213 in the Flint-Saginaw area, along with Detroit, Alpena, Duluth-Superior, Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo, Lansing, Marquette and Traverse City.
Comcast/Xfinity will carry the channel on Channel 1253. DirectTV will have the channel on Channel 663.
Earlier this month, Ilitch Sports + Entertainment announced DSN will be the year-round home for the Tigers and Detroit Red Wings. DSN will be powered by MLB Media.
There will be streaming options for fans, with a monthly cost of $19.99 or $189.99 annually. The channel launched with the 2026 Detroit Tigers season, and the 2026-27 Detroit Red Wings season will be broadcast on DSN.
Jason Benetti and Dan Dickerson will continue to lead the broadcasts for the Tigers, alongside analysts Andy Dirks and Dan Petry. Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond will also remain with the Red Wings.
In an update last week on X, Fidelman also published an article that includes details for those looking to watch DSN. “If you watched Tigers or Red Wings games through your cable package last year, there’s a good chance no action will be needed to watch moving forward,” Fidelman wrote.
“Assuming everything goes as expected, the new channel will appear for you later this week, likely in the same neighborhood as FanDuel Sports Network on your TV guide,” Fidelman wrote.
