DAZN Lands New York RSNs, Dismantling the Gotham App

DAZN will become the exclusive streaming home for New York–area teams—the Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Devils, Islanders, and Sabres—with 24/7 feeds from the YES Network and MSG Networks in local markets, effectively replacing the Gotham Sports app. Linear subscribers will access these feeds on DAZN at no extra cost, with migration planned after the MLB season for the 2026–27 seasons. The deal expands DAZN’s digital footprint and follows its ViewLift acquisition, positioning the platform as a new home for teams previously tied to RSN operators.

BravesVision Faces Early Hurdle as Q1 Media Revenue Dips 41%

The Atlanta Braves report a 41% year-over-year drop in broadcasting revenue for Q1 2026, down to $2.52 million as they transition from FanDuel Sports Network to BravesVision amid the regional sports network shakeout; management cites timing, while CEO Derek Schiller remains optimistic BravesVision can match or surpass prior rights-fee levels, though one quarter isn’t enough to draw conclusions and a fuller turnaround is needed.

BravesVision Debuts: Braves Own Network Aims to End Local Blackouts

Atlanta announced BravesVision, a team-owned network that will broadcast Braves games on TV and streaming with no local blackouts (except national exclusives), following the end of its RSN deal with Main Street Sports; while initial revenue may be softer than the old RSN arrangement, the move promises broader fan access and reflects MLB’s push toward centralized streaming options.

Braves eye multi-team RSN with Hawks, Grizzlies, Predators

The Atlanta Braves are reportedly exploring a direct-to-distributor, multi-team regional sports network that could include the Hawks, Grizzlies, and Nashville Predators, with talks ongoing with Comcast, Charter, DirecTV and potentially MVPDs. The Predators say they haven’t spoken to the Braves about joining, while the Hawks and Grizzlies could pursue short-term deals if needed as the NBA discusses a centralized streaming RSN by 2027–28. Meanwhile, Braves are testing spring‑training broadcasts with Gray Media as they finalize plans for the 2026 season.

Braves Plot In-House Regional Network After Main Street Sports Exit

Atlanta is reportedly planning to launch its own regional sports network after terminating its deal with Main Street Sports, potentially mirroring the Texas Rangers’ in-house model with distributor carriage, streaming, and a local OTA broadcast. The Braves may temporarily move rights to MLB for 2026 while building the network, leveraging Gray Media’s existing Braves airtime; success could become a blueprint for other teams, but the traditional RSN framework is collapsing and time to execute is tight.

MLB Expands League-Controlled Broadcast Model to Six More Teams

MLB will take over broadcasts for six more teams (Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Royals, Cardinals, Reds) in 2026 as part of a league-wide shift away from failing regional networks toward league-controlled streaming, following the Bally/Sports RSN collapse; the move could lower team revenues and influence payrolls and CBA talks, with several teams still finalizing deals as ESPN/NBC/Peacock and others reshape local rights.

Phoenix Suns shift to free local TV and streaming for games.

Phoenix Suns shift to free local TV and streaming for games.

The Phoenix Suns have signed a new local media deal that abandons the RSN cable model and instead offers games via over-the-air Gray Television channels and a team-branded digital service powered by streaming provider Kiswe. The move is the first in what could be a slew of new local media partnerships, as the once-lucrative RSN model crumbles for many NBA, NHL and MLB franchises. The new setup will be free and available to nearly 2.8 million households in Arizona, more than triple the reach via the team’s current partnership with Diamond’s Bally Sports Arizona.
