 Have fun. Be cheap.
 Deposit Photos Beginning with the 2026 season, the Atlanta Braves have taken full control of their local broadcasts under a new system called BravesVision.
For Atlanta‑area fans, the biggest changes involve where you watch baseball games and how much you pay — PLUS the elimination of local blackout dates.
For most people in metro Atlanta, BravesVision simplifies things:
- If you still have cable or satellite, you’ll watch BravesVision on your provider’s platform once the channel deals are finalized.
- If you’re a cord-cutter who streams the games, Braves.TV is your new home for Braves baseball.
- If you live outside the Braves’ territory, MLB.TV remains your option.
- The biggest win is the removal of local blackouts, which have frustrated Atlanta fans for years.
If you’ve been wondering where to watch, how streaming works, or what it’s going to cost, here’s a straightforward breakdown of the key points.
What is BravesVision?
BravesVision is the Braves’ new in‑house broadcast operation.
Instead of relying on a regional sports network, the team will now produce and distribute more than 140 regular‑season games, plus pre‑ and post‑game programming.
These are the same locally distributed games you’re used to — just under a new name and controlled directly by the team.
The Braves are partnering with cable, satellite, and streaming providers to carry BravesVision as a traditional TV channel — known as Braves.TV. Those agreements are still being finalized, and the team will announce channel lineups as deals are completed.
Is BravesVision a streaming service?
The biggest shift for fans is the launch of Braves.TV, a new streaming service created by MLB specifically for BravesVision broadcasts. This is the option most Atlanta-area cord‑cutters will use.
Here’s what Braves.TV offers:
- Live streaming of all locally distributed Braves games that aren’t nationally exclusive.
- No local blackouts for in‑market subscribers.
- On‑demand replays.
- Access at home or on-the-go within the Braves’ six‑state territory.
Braves.TV is available for a fee and can be watched on most devices, including phones, tablets, smart TVs, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation, and Xbox.
How much does BravesVision cost?
There are two main price points, depending on how you watch.
1. Braves.TV (in‑market streaming)
• $99.99 for the full season
• $19.99 per month
If you’re a season ticket holder, you can receive up to a 30% discount on the season package.
2. Cable or satellite TV
If your current provider carries BravesVision, you can watch games the same way you always have.
Pricing depends on your TV package, not on the Braves.
***The team has finalized distribution deals with 34 cable, satellite, and streaming services — we have the full list at the bottom of the page.
3. Out‑of‑market options
If you live outside the Braves’ home territory, BravesVision is not the product you’ll use. Instead, you’ll subscribe to MLB.TV, which costs:
• $149.99 per season or
• $29.99 per month
You can also bundle Braves.TV with MLB.TV for $199.99 per season if you want access to every MLB team.
FREE trial!
There is a 7-day free trial available, but you must enter your payment info to access it.
And of course, it will auto-bill you for the full season at $99.99 if you don’t cancel within the 7-day period — so be careful!
Military discount!
Verified military customers receive a 35% discount on the full season price.
There’s a link on the order page that takes you to the authorization site.
What about blackouts?
For Atlanta‑area fans, this is one of the biggest advantages!
Under the former blackout rules, in-market viewers could not use MLB.TV to stream the live regional games.
But Braves.TV has no local blackouts for in‑market subscribers.
You can stream every locally distributed Braves game within the Braves’ territory — which includes Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and western North Carolina. (See the map of the coverage area at the bottom of the page.)
Note that nationally-exclusive games (ESPN, FOX, Apple TV+, etc.) still follow league rules for blackouts.
Can I watch BravesVision for free?
Well, yes and no.
A select number of games will air for FREE on Gray Media stations across the Southeast.
Gray Media’s flagship station in Atlanta is WANF (channel 46), branded as Atlanta News First.
Games broadcast on a Gray Media station like Channel 46 are available over-the-air with a standard antenna, and offer a no‑cost option for fans who want occasional access without a subscription.
