To watch the Braves locally, you must either add the Braves.TV \u201cIn-Market\u201d package for $99.99\/year or upgrade to the All-Teams + Braves.TV Bundle for $199.99\/year.<br \/>\u2022 If you live outside the Southeast:<br \/>Nothing changes.

So, for $200 per year, you get every MLB game in addition to every Braves game.<\/p>\n<p>This seems to be the model that most teams in MLB are transitioning to, which rids of the old cable model. Probably a smart move by MLB organizations as cable companies continue to fail year after year.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves have a very vast fanbase, so they were never going to have issues striking a deal, but other teams across MLB could be in jeopardy in future years if they don\u2019t transition to this model.<\/p>\n<p>More MLB on Heavy:<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/chicago-cubs\/pete-crow-armstrong-doesnt-hold-back-in-message-about-dodgers-fans\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Pete Crow-Armstrong Doesn\u2019t Hold Back in Message About Dodgers Fans<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tMore Heavy on Braves\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tLoading more stories\n\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty The Atlanta Braves are bringing a new direct-to-consumer broadcast system to their fans in the 2026 season.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-501434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
