CLEVELAND -- Spring Training is right around the corner, and Opening Day is not far behind. That means it’s time to prepare for how you’ll catch Guardians baseball this year.
For the second consecutive season, the Guardians will partner with MLB to broadcast their games. Guardians TV is set to air more than 150 regular-season contests in 2026 (beginning with the March 26 season opener against the Mariners), and fans will again have the option to catch all the action via the CLEGuardians.TV presented by Progressive streaming service.
CLEGuardians.TV subscriptions are set to go on sale on Feb. 10. Existing streaming subscribers who purchased the Guardians’ package in 2025 will receive an email toward the end of February with automatic renewal information. Fans who are interested in new subscriptions may visit cleguardians.com/watch to sign up to be notified ahead of '26 packages going on sale.
The club anticipates a similar mix of cable and third-party providers to carry Guardians TV this season as in 2025. You can check with your provider directly to verify. Additionally, WKYC will again carry 10 free local simulcasts this season, and an 11th game on April 12 -- when the Guardians are set to play the Braves on NBC’s Sunday Night Baseball.
So far, 13 of the Guardians’ games are slated to be broadcast nationally as part of MLB’s new rightsholder agreements on NBC (1), Peacock (3), FOX (five), FS1 (three) and TBS (1). The schedule is subject to change.
Each of the Guardians’ 162 regular-season games will air on the Cleveland Clinic Guardians Radio Network on WTAM 1100, and 133 games will be simulcast on 100.7 WMMS. The schedule is subject to change based upon scheduling conflicts with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. Los Guardians Spanish Radio, presented by Sherwin Williams, will broadcast all 81 home games.
Matt Underwood, Rick Manning and Andre Knott will return as the primary broadcast team on Guardians TV. Chris Gimenez, Al Pawlowski, Cayleigh Griffin, Cody Allen, Austin Jackson and Ben Broussard also each are set to return as additional contributors.
Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus return on the Guardians Radio Network, and Guardians Hall of Famer Carlos Baerga will join Rafael Hernandez-Brito and Gustavo Luques on Los Guardians Spanish Radio.
Manning and Hamilton are each entering their 37th season broadcasting games for the Guardians.
