The Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers will enter into a broadcast partnership with Major League Baseball, the teams announced<\/a> Monday, amid uncertainty over the future of Main Street Sports Group, which operates as FanDuel Sports Network in the United States.<\/p>\n

Red Wings games are expected to remain on FanDuel Sports Network through the end of the 2025-26 season, with changes beginning in the 2026-27 hockey season, while the Tigers\u2019 partnership will begin for the 2026 MLB season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the event that changes,\u201d the Red Wings\u2019 news release said, \u201cupdated tune-in details will be communicated to fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game broadcasts will remain available to fans both on cable and via a to-be-announced direct-to-consumer streaming option.<\/p>\n

Red Wings play-by-play voice Ken Daniels and color analyst Mickey Redmond, Tigers play-by-play announcers Jason Benetti and Dan Dickerson, as well as analysts Andy Dirks and Dan Petry, are all expected to continue in their current capacity, as are broadcast reporters Daniella Bruce and Logan Reever for both teams.<\/p>\n

The news comes after six MLB teams that previously partnered with Main Street \u2014 the Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays \u2014 announced last week they would let MLB oversee production and distribution<\/a> of their telecasts.<\/p>\n

While the partnership means MLB will provide broadcast support for both the Tigers and Red Wings, the Red Wings are likely to handle most production of their games in-house. The move keeps together the broadcast futures of both teams, which are owned by Ilitch Sports and Entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven recent uncertainty throughout the sports broadcasting industry, we recognize the importance of providing fans with a consistent, year-round outlet to watch Tigers baseball and Red Wings hockey,\u201d Ryan Gustafson, President and CEO of Ilitch Sports and Entertainment, said in a statement. \u201cWe have two of the top-rated broadcasts in our respective sports and remain focused on listening to fans about what matters most to them. What we\u2019ve heard includes making sure our games are available throughout the market, providing a reliable streaming product, and producing a broadcast that\u2019s informative and entertaining in all the right ways. This is a great path forward in those areas, allowing us to provide a great experience for fans throughout our local market.\u201d<\/p>\n

FanDuel Sports Network has carried Red Wings and Tigers games since October 2024, when the regional sports network was rebranded from Bally Sports, its name beginning in 2021. Before that, games aired on Fox Sports Detroit starting in 1997-98, after having previously been on the PASS network since the mid-1980s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers will enter into a broadcast partnership with Major League Baseball, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":562889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[5,22382,53,4,2093,165],"class_list":{"0":"post-562888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-detroit-red-wings","10":"tag-detroit-tigers","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-sports-business"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116042512799342146","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
