The Atlanta Braves have finally addressed their plans for their own television network ahead of the 2026 season. It has been torture trying to watch the Braves over the last few years. Atlanta has finally broken away from using other media to share games and has created its own.
On Tuesday, the team announced the launch of BravesVision, which is a multimedia platform owned and operated by the organization. This will be the official local television home of the Braves beginning this season.
According to the official press release, "BravesVision will usher in a new era of broadcasting, where the Braves organization will have full oversight of the production, sales, marketing, and distribution of its telecasts."

Here is what we know about watching the Braves in 2026 and their new TV network, BravesVision
Atlanta now has full control over how to broadcast to all of Braves Country. Braves President and CEO Derek Schiller is excited to finally have control, so the fans have a better opportunity to see their favorite team play.
“Generations of Braves fans were raised watching games on a network that shared ownership with the baseball team. With BravesVision, we believe that we can present Braves baseball in new and innovative ways, allowing us to expand and elevate our storytelling capabilities across all of our platforms.”

“This endeavor will bring the most vital link to our fanbase – our television broadcast – back under the control of our organization,” said Braves President and CEO Derek Schiller. “Generations of Braves fans were raised watching games on a network that shared ownership with the baseball team. With BravesVision, we believe that we can present Braves baseball in new and innovative ways, allowing us to expand and elevate our storytelling capabilities across all of our platforms.”
Fans will be able to experience more than 140 games through BravesVision, including pre-game and post-game programming. Fans will also not have to worry about blackouts, which were a major problem with previous options.
Features of BravesVision include:
- Video Service Provider: Through a direct-to-distributor model, the Braves will partner with cable, satellite, and streaming services to provide BravesVision to Braves fans. All of the distribution deals are not yet finalized, but it sounds like those details will be coming sooner rather than later including what streaming services will include BravesVision.
- Streaming: BravesVision will be available on Major League Baseball’s streaming platform – Braves.TV. With a subscription, all regular season non-national exclusive Braves games will be available to fans everywhere and without blackouts. Perhaps not the ideal option for fans used to just having Braves games included with their cable package, but the trick here will be the price.
- Over the Air: Once again, the Braves will partner with Gray Media to simulcast a select few regular season games over-the-air (OTA) for free in Atlanta and across the Southeast through Gray’s network of broadcast stations. The BravesVision OTA games will be announced prior to Opening Day.
Gray Media will continue to feature Braves spring training broadcasts ahead of the 2026 season. All Spring Training broadcasts will also be streamed live for free on Braves.TV. This is a very exciting development for Braves fans, who have been clamoring for a better way to see their team play. Hopefully, this is a much more positive experience for everyone involved.
