On Monday, the Reds unveiled a new partnership with Main Street Sports, the parent company of FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports), securing a linear and digital rights agreement to produce and broadcast Reds game telecasts for the 2025 season.

The Cincinnati Reds announced a new broadcast agreement for 2025. The Reds will partner with Main Street Sports for game telecasts. The Cincinnati Reds on Jan. 13 announced a new linear and digital rights agreement to produce and distribute game telecasts in 2025.

The newly struck deal between the Cincinnati Reds and FanDuel Sports Network replaces the Reds deal for '25 with MLB TV and includes streaming rights.

The Reds announced Monday they reached an agreement to return to their former regional sports network partner for the upcoming season.

The team reversed its November announcement and says FanDuel will continue producing Reds games this season instead of Major League Baseball, and will offer expanded direct-to-consumer streaming of all games not broadcast nationally.

The Cincinnati Reds player payroll budget had been frozen at last year's level (roughly $100 million). Until a new local TV deal was struck.

The Reds are the second team to revert to the FanDuel Sports Networks after previously planning to turn broadcasts to MLB. The Brewers did the same a couple weeks ago. In both cases, the team only agreed to a one-year deal. MLB has expressed skepticism about the broadcast corporation’s long-term viability despite its emergence from bankruptcy.

The team had previously announced its intention to let MLB handle production and distribution for the upcoming season. The Cincinnati Reds are making a big lineup change heading into the 2025 season.
