The Washington Nationals announced they are ending their long-standing partnership with MASN and will have their local games produced and distributed by Major League Baseball starting in the 2026 season. This move allows for streaming options and technological enhancements for fans. In-market viewers can access games via cable, satellite, or a new Nationals.TV platform.
Nine Major League Baseball teams have ended their broadcasting contracts with Main Street Sports, the operator of the FanDuel Sports Network, amid the company's financial difficulties. The move comes after missed payments to some teams, prompting them to explore alternatives including potential takeover by the league. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred assured fans that games will continue to be available regardless of the outcome.
