The Cincinnati Reds have finalized a deal with Altafiber to broadcast their games starting in 2026, following the end of their agreement with FanDuel Sports Network. Fans within the Reds' home television territory can watch all locally distributed games on cable and satellite providers without blackouts. Altafiber announced that Reds games will air on channel 24, launching on March 25, just before Opening Day on March 26. However, negotiations with Spectrum and other satellite providers are ongoing, leaving some fans without clarity on their viewing options. Reds.tv will be available for those outside of Altafiber's coverage area.

By the Numbers
  • Reds games will be available on channel 24 starting March 25.
  • Opening Day is set for March 26.
State of Play
  • Altafiber confirmed the airing of Reds games, solidifying viewer options for cable subscribers.
  • Negotiations between Spectrum, satellite companies, and the Reds are still pending.
What's Next

The outcome of negotiations with Spectrum and other providers will determine additional viewing options for fans. If unresolved, Reds.tv will serve as an alternative for fans without cable subscriptions.

Bottom Line

Fans in the Reds' television territory can expect reliable access to games via Altafiber, but the uncertainty with other providers means fans should remain informed on their options as Opening Day approaches.
