What is Detroit SportsNet?
Detroit SportsNet is the new year-round home for locally televised Tigers and Red Wings games. Other than games selected to be national telecasts, fans can watch the Tigers on Detroit SportsNet starting with 2026 Opening Day and the Red Wings beginning with the 2026-27 NHL season.
Can I watch Detroit SportsNet on cable/satellite TV, or is it only available via streaming?
Fans will continue having the flexibility to choose how they'd like to watch Tigers and Red Wings games. Detroit SportsNet will be available on many cable/satellite providers throughout Michigan, while also being accessible through in-market streaming subscriptions. Specific providers and channel locations will be announced closer to the start of the season.
What channel number will Detroit SportsNet be?
Specific channel locations and cable/satellite providers will be announced closer to Tigers Opening Day. We expect the channel locations will be near other sports programming in your television lineup.
Does Detroit SportsNet replace FanDuel Sports Network Detroit?
Yes, games that would have aired on FanDuel Sports Network in the past will now be available on Detroit SportsNet.
For the remainder of the 2025-26 NHL season, Red Wings games are expected to remain on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit before making the transition to Detroit SportsNet for the 2026-27 campaign.
Will I be able to stream games instead of watching through a cable/satellite package?
If your billing zip code is in the home television territory of either the Tigers or Red Wings, you can subscribe directly to Detroit SportsNet monthly for online streaming. If your billing zip code is in the home television territory of both the Tigers and Red Wings, you also have the option to select Detroit SportsNet annual.
Detroit SportsNet annual and Detroit SportsNet monthly are a single-subscription product covering both teams for in-market fans, making it seamless to watch all year long. Geographic restrictions apply outside of either team’s home television territory.
How can I subscribe to in-market streaming through Detroit SportsNet, and how much will it cost?
Fans within the Tigers and Red Wings markets can purchase subscriptions here, securing access to watch Tigers and Red Wings games when and where they want (subject to national exclusivities). Subscriptions can be purchased on a monthly basis at $19.99 or fans who are in-market for both teams have the option to purchase annually at $189.99 (a savings of over 20% compared to 12 monthly charges).
As an introductory offer, fans who subscribe now through 11:59PM ET on March 22, 2026, will pay $0 until April 1 for Tigers baseball, including Opening Day in San Diego.
Stacking this special offer on top of an already-discounted annual subscription gives eligible fans access to Tigers games until April 1, followed by access to all local broadcasts during the 2026 Tigers and 2026-27 Red Wings seasons – before your annual subscription renews on April 1, 2027.
Why isn’t Detroit SportsNet annual available to me?
Detroit SportsNet annual is only available to fans who live in the home television territories of both the Tigers and the Red Wings, as determined by zip code. Fans who are only in-market for one of the teams can purchase a Detroit SportsNet monthly subscription to access in-market content for the available team during the months when their subscription is active. If you think you should be eligible for Detroit SportsNet annual, have questions about eligibility or need help with your Detroit SportsNet subscription, please contact customer service.
How do I watch streams using my Detroit SportsNet subscription?
The award-winning MLB App is your new in-market streaming home for Tigers baseball. Details on how to use your year-round Detroit SportsNet subscription to watch Red Wings games starting with the 2026-27 season will be shared this summer.
If I took advantage of Detroit SportsNet’s special introductory offer by subscribing before March 23, 2026, when will I be charged for my subscription?
All you have to do for now is sit back and enjoy Tigers baseball! Once your introductory period ends on April 1, the payment method you have on file will be charged for whichever subscription you selected: $189.99 for annual or $19.99 for monthly.
Annual subscriptions will renew 12 months after that (next on April 1, 2027), while monthly subscriptions will renew on the 1st of each month that follows (next on May 1, 2026).
I purchased a subscription after the special introductory offer ended. When will payment be processed?
Your payment method on file will be charged on the day you subscribed.
After that, annual subscriptions will renew in 12 months (one year from the date of purchase), while monthly subscriptions will renew one month after your initial purchase date.
Are there any blackouts when streaming Detroit SportsNet?
