The Nashville Predators and FanDuel Sports Network are officially parting ways at the end of the 2025-26 season.
Main Street Sports Group, which owns the Predators‘ television broadcast rights via FanDuel Sports Network, announced to the NHL and NBA on April 3 that it will cease operations at the end of the 2025-26 season. Main Street will continue broadcasts for the NBA through the end of the regular season and for the NHL through the first round of the playoffs.

This ends a long saga between Main Street, previously known as Diamond Sports Group, and its regional sports properties. After filing for bankruptcy in 2024, some NHL teams left their contracts and started their own streaming services.
In December, Main Street missed its payment to the St. Louis Cardinals, which led many MLB teams to abandon the service. Main Street attempted to sell its properties to DAZN, a sports-streaming service based in Europe, but those talks ended in January.
This means that the Predators, along with 19 other teams across the NBA and NHL, will be searching for new broadcast partners ahead of the 2026-27 season. In January, the Predators told The Tennessean the team has alternative plans in the works for future broadcast rights. These plans could include over-the-air local broadcasts and/or a streaming service.
