LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) &#8211; First Alert 4 is partnering with the Cardinals to broadcast games in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">On Monday, the Cardinals announced they would no longer be on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matrixmidwest.com\/2026\/02\/02\/mlb-produce-distribute-all-in-market-cardinals-games-2026-season\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.matrixmidwest.com\/2026\/02\/02\/mlb-produce-distribute-all-in-market-cardinals-games-2026-season\/\">Major League Baseball will produce and distribute all games<\/a> that aren\u2019t national broadcasts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">First Alert 4 and Matrix Midwest will air 10 regular-season Cardinals games, along with a handful of spring training games on Matrix Midwest (over-the-air channel 32 and Spectrum channel 6). <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Last season marked the first for the partnership between the Cardinals and First Alert 4 to broadcast regular-season games. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cA big priority for us was to increase the reach of our broadcast. And so we were really pleased with how the partnership worked out last year. And we\u2019re very happy to add the spring training games to extend the arrangement this year for regular-season games. And I know we have a few other things that we\u2019re working on that can enhance that further. So really excited about that,\u201d Anuk Karunaratne, the Cardinals\u2019 senior vice president of business operations, explained about this season\u2019s partnership with First Alert 4. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Matrix Midwest is also planning to air minor league games in partnership with the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds and Double-A Springfield Cardinals. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">More details regarding this season\u2019s partnership and dates for games to watch on First Alert 4 and Matrix Midwest will be announced at a later date. <\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 KMOV.
