ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 19, 2026 – The St. Louis Cardinals today announced that every 2026 regular season game will be televised locally or nationally, streamed on Cardinals.TV presented by bet365, and broadcast on KMOX and the Cardinals Radio Network. Additionally, all 81 home games will feature live Spanish radio broadcasts.
Local Television & Streaming
Major League Baseball will produce and distribute all in-market Cardinal games for the 2026 season. Fans located in the Cardinals’ television footprint will be able to watch games on their preferred traditional cable, satellite, and streaming TV providers with no additional subscription needed. Game channels for each provider will be available around Opening Day, although fans can expect to find the Cardinals game channel in the same neighborhood as its previous RSN channel.
Fans located within the Cardinals’ TV territory without traditional cable or satellite service will have the option to watch games on their smart TV, smartphone or other connected device with no blackout restrictions on Cardinals.TV presented by bet365. The direct-to-consumer streaming platform accessible from the MLB app or MLB.com can be purchased for $99.99 for the full season or $19.99 per month (beginning on March 23) at cardinals.com/tv.
Fans located outside the Cardinals’ TV territory can watch all local Cardinals broadcasts via the league’s out-of-market streaming service, MLB.TV. In 2026, all MLB.TV subscribers can enjoy the service on either the MLB app or ESPN app. Visit mlb.com/tv for more information.
Chip Caray returns for his fourth season as the play-by-play voice of Cardinals television broadcasts and will be joined in the booth by 2006 World Series champion Brad Thompson (ninth season) and former Cardinals outfielder Mark Sweeney (third season) as analysts to call game action. Stefan Caray, son of Chip, who joins the Cardinals television broadcast team this season, will serve as a backup play-by-play announcer for potentially 6-8 games.
Jim Hayes returns for his 25th season covering Cardinals baseball and will serve as a reporter for all home games. St. Louis native Dani Wexelman, also new to the TV team this year, will handle reporting duties for all Cardinals road games while also sharing pregame and postgame hosting duties with St. Louis native Scott Warmann (11th season).
Cardinals Hall of Famer Al Hrabosky (43rd season as part of the Cardinals TV team) and former Cardinals pitcher Ricky Horton, along with Thompson and Sweeney, will rotate as pregame and postgame analysts.
National Television
Currently, 15 regular season Cardinals games will be carried exclusively on either FOX (6), NBC/Peacock (4), Apple TV (2), ESPN (2), or ABC (1) as part of Major League Baseball’s national television packages. The television schedule is subject to change.

Gray will also launch Cardinals Fastball, a next-day one-hour edited and condensed replay of the prior’s day game, airing at noon and 4 p.m. on Matrix Midwest for most Cardinals games.
Programming dates for the Memphis, Springfield and the Cardinals Fastball next-day condensed replays on Matrix Midwest will be announced at a later date. More information can be found at cardinals.com/watch.
Radio
This year marks KMOX’s 16th consecutive season as the team’s flagship station (69th overall) and the centennial anniversary of its start in St. Louis. KMOX, and nearly all of the 168 Cardinals Radio Network affiliate stations, will carry every regular season game on 104.1 FM/1120 AM. Games can continue to stream on the Audacy app and KMOX.com.
John Rooney (21st season in St. Louis, 55th overall) will be accompanied in the booth by Ricky Horton (28th year as a Cardinals broadcaster) and Mike Claiborne (21st year as part of the radio team) for all Cardinals contests this year. Matt Pauley, Tom Ackerman and Joe Pott will serve as pre- and postgame hosts on KMOX.
Horton and Claiborne will also continue to host Friday Night Live at its new location in Cardinals Nation Restaurant after every Friday Night home game at Ballpark Village, just across from Gate 5 at Busch Stadium. The show features live guests, including former Cardinals players, coaches, managers, front office staff and broadcasters, beginning 15 minutes following the final out on 104.1 FM/1120 AM and the Cardinals Radio Network. The show is open for fans to visit, listen, and hang out free of charge.
Spanish Radio
The team’s flagship Spanish radio station, WIJR 880 AM La Tremenda, will once again produce Spanish-language radio broadcasts for all Cardinals home games across the club’s Spanish Radio Network during the 2026 regular season.
Play-by-play announcer Polo Ascencio and World Series champion Bengie Molina return for their 11th season in the booth. All 81 home broadcasts air locally on WIJR 880 AM, the nine Cardinals Spanish Radio Network affiliates, SiriusXM Radio, and streamed via cardinals.com, the MLB app, and on the La Tremenda 880 app.
Fans can also tune to Secondary Audio Program (SAP) on their televisions and on Cardinals.TV to hear Polo and Bengie’s Spanish-language radio broadcasts on their TV for most home telecasts.
