Bump....

Any details yet on how or where we'll be able to watch Tigers games in 2026? 

No season details yet that I've seen, McCoskey said today's game would stream free on MLB.tv

Yeah, I see that. It's the YES Yankee feed so theyll do Yankee interviews while the Tigers bat. But, oh well...

One super nice thing I noticed when streaming was that you were able to switch audio within the video player, so I had Dickerson and Petry. It wasn't, unfortunately, synced up... that audio was a second or so ahead of the video, but that was actually a happy little accident for me as I was working on something else while having the game up... so whenever they announced something interesting happening I could quick pay attention to the video to see it.

Normally the audio syncs up better. This was a thing I did often in the Shep days, using the radio feed.

Shep is probably how most people here found the audio overlay. 😁

I still don't know where to find the Tigers on TV this year. I missed the game yesterday, and I have the Tigers to automatically record.

Shep still wonders why he lost his job.

Got Tigers, Wings and Pistons for $19.99 last year.

Tiger and Wings next year presumably for $19.99.  

This year $19.99 only gets you Tigers.

Detroit SportsNet sounds like something that would have been created in 2003.

 

[Cruzer1]

Just announced on the Ticket:

Detroit Sports Net is negotiating with carriers, and TV numbers will be announced soon.

[Cruzer1]

I have cable, so I would hope to get the Tigers for what I'm paying right now.

[Sports_Freak]

OK...I'm confusrd. I have an MLB subscription and live in the Detroit market. Will I be able to watch the Tigers live with that app or do I need to pay for even more streaming services? This really is getting ridiculous. 

[oblong]

Yes.  Basically what you are paying for now is to watch all baseball except the local team.  That would be true in any market. If you want to watch a local team you have to pay them either thru a cable/satellite provider or directly if the team has that service.

Not for me. My mlb.tv is tied to DirecTV Extra Innings, and that does not start until Opening Day.
