Cincinnati Reds Have More Money for 2025 Roster Following New TV Contract. The Reds new TV deal opens up possibilities to upgrade the roster.

After further negotiations, the sides reached an agreement for 2025 that includes both linear and digital streaming rights and replaces the Reds-MLB arrangement. The streaming rights had not been included in the previous Bally contract.

The Cincinnati Reds have a new broadcast television home, which is the same as their old broadcast television home.

The Reds are the second team to revert to the FanDuel Sports Networks after previously planning to turn broadcasts to MLB. The Brewers did the same a couple weeks ago. In both cases, the team only agreed to a one-year deal. MLB has expressed skepticism about the broadcast corporation’s long-term viability despite its emergence from bankruptcy.

MLB announced in October that it would take over the production and distribution for the 2025 television broadcasts of the Guardians, Brewers and Twins. In November they announced a similar deal with the Reds.

The team reversed its November announcement and says FanDuel will continue producing Reds games this season instead of Major League Baseball, and will offer expanded direct-to-consumer streaming of all games not broadcast nationally.

The Reds and Main Street Sports announced on Monday that the team's 2025 local television broadcasts of games will be produced and distributed on the FanDuel Sports Network. This move is a reversal of plans announced in November to have MLB Media handle Reds local broadcasts.
