Bally Sports Wisconsin will air eight of the Brewers’ Spring Training games, with four featuring the official broadcast crew and the rest as partner broadcasts. Amazon's investment in Bally Sports' streaming rights, including the rights to stream games on Amazon Prime Video, has implications for how games will be viewed in 2024. While out-of-market viewers can still use MLB.TV, in-market viewers may need to find a TV provider carrying Bally Sports or subscribe to Prime Video for streaming. However, uncertainties persist regarding additional subscription requirements and the potential launch of a new streaming service by MLB in 2025. Despite bringing stability through 2024, the full situation with Bally Sports still needs resolution, including their emergence from bankruptcy and the status of their streaming rights.
