Broadcasting rights for Major League Baseball teams often experience significant shifts due to the ongoing evolution of regional sports networks and streaming partnerships across the sports media landscape. For local television broadcasts within their regional home television territory, the Tampa Bay Rays games have historically been carried by Bally Sports Sun, operated by Diamond Sports Group. However, the media landscape for regional sports networks has undergone massive restructuring and bankruptcy proceedings in recent years, leading MLB itself to take over the production and distribution of local broadcasts for several franchises. Additionally, national broadcast packages across the entire league are shared across major networks and streaming platforms such as ESPN for Sunday Night Baseball, Fox and FS1 for weekly regional games, TBS for Tuesday night packages, and Apple TV Plus or The Roku Channel for exclusive streaming windows. Fans looking to follow the team locally in 2026 typically rely on the team's official regional broadcast distributor or MLB TV for out-of-market viewing.
