The Kansas City Royals announced today their games will be produced and distributed by Major League Baseball on Royals.TV for the 2026 season. Royals games will be available on cable and satellite television, as well as the MLB app.
“This is a big win for our fans,” Royals President, Business Operations Cullen Maxey said. “MLB pioneered and remains the leader in delivering high quality sports content to streamers, and we’re thrilled to partner with them to bring our exciting team to a broader audience. Reach is paramount to what we do, and our games will continue to be in all the places fans are used to watching, plus hopefully some more.”
Major League Baseball pioneered direct-to-consumer sports programming, and remains on the front edge of production quality and innovation. MLB’s track record shows that fans of teams joining their production have had at least the same accessibility to games through cable, satellite and streaming —and often more.
