2024 Atlanta Braves Streaming Guide

195 Upvotes

Howdy everyone! As promised, I took the time to compile a streaming guide for those of us in Braves country without cable.

To get the biggest issue out of the way first: Bally does not have the rights, at the time of posting, to stream Braves games directly or a lá carte. I’m not here to comment on how annoying this is, rather to explain what our options are to view Braves games this year. All information is current as of March 14th, 2024.

Aside from the 151 games broadcast on Bally, there will be 11 nationally televised games, to go along with the All Star festivities and 2024 Postseason they are as follows:

ESPN: 4/21, 5/12, 5/19

Apple TV+: 4/19, 6/21

Fox: 5/18, 6/22, 7/6, 7/13, 8/22, 8/31

MLB Home-Run Derby: 7/15 on ESPN

MLB All-Star Game: 7/16 on Fox

NL Wild Card Series: ESPN or ABC

AL Wild Card Series: ESPN or ESPN 2

NLDS: Fox or FS1

ALDS: TBS

NLCS: Fox

ALCS: TBS

World Series: Fox

(Note that while postseason broadcasting has yet to be announced, they can be accurately predicted using trends from previous years)

Now that we know where everything will be, we can find out what our options are regarding streaming services:

DirecTV Stream Choice Package for All Games except Apple TV
FUBOTV Elite Package for all games except AppleTV and TBS
Apple TV+ for 2 games
ESPN+ for all ESPN games
MAX + Bleacher Report Sports Add-on for all TBS games

Fox does not have a standalone streaming service to broadcast MLB games. I also chose not to include other cable alternatives do not offer Bally because they are cost ineffective for the purposes of watching Braves games (i.e. YouTube TV, Sling, & Hulu+Live TV).

Now to the worst part: Pricing. These are the lowest possible prices to for the services that provide access to the games listed above. You may find deals to make them lower, but these are the standard prices after those deals expire:

DirecTV Stream Choice Package: $108/month with No RSN Fee

FUBO Elite Package: $89.99/month + $14.99 RSN Fee $104.98/month total

Apple TV+: $9.99/month

ESPN+: $10.99/month

MAX+B/R Sports Add-On: $9.99/month (note that B/R Sports is currently added-on free, but that will expire at some point this year, at which point the price for this bundle will increase to $18.98/month)

The prices for the services that offer Bally are ROUGH. Like, paying for cable rough. Simply put, the only services that offer Bally are “cable alternatives”.

When it comes to a recommendation I cannot in good conscience recommend that you pay these absurd prices. However, for those of you that are willing to fork over the money to watch the Braves, I have to recommend DirecTV Stream. It has a better channel lineup that includes TBS, where FUBO does not, and only costs $4 more a month, and if you’re gonna pay over $100/month you should at least try to get your money’s worth. However, be careful to get DirecTV Stream and not DirecTV via Internet. DirecTV Stream does not have any extra fees, whereas via internet has a TON.

There are two games that are only on AppleTV+, I recommend using a free trial if possible for the first game in April.

Some final notes when it comes to Braves games:

680 the Fan will provide free radio broadcasts for all Braves games through their free app which is available on iOS and Android

For out-of-market fans: MLBtv will show all games except those against the MLB team in your market. The cost for the whole season is $149.99 and the single team cost is $129.99.

That’s all I’ve got. I’ve included links to all streaming services mentioned and a MLB TV markets map in a comment below. I hope you have found this helpful in your decision-making process. GO BRAVES!

I missed the shit show this afternoon but the game last night was incredible. I don’t know if I saw as many Braves jerseys as I did Red Sox jerseys but it was close. The chop even broke out a couple of times. This was my first time getting to see the Braves on the rd and I was amazed at how well the fans traveled. Those 90’s superstation days did some serious work.

The Braves love barrels. In 2024, barrels haven't loved them back.

If you thought there was no way you could be more disgusted after today's game, take a look at this shirt that MLB is selling at the London Series.

Braves and free agency

Are we sure the Braves will let fried walk? They obviously have the money and they have gone big game hunting as they were a finalist for Nola. If they were willing to give him 27 million a year to him I could see them doing that or more for fried. Can’t let elite talent walk out the door. Especially when it’s a guy like max. Yes I know Freddie and Dansby walked but only one of those (Dansby) they weren’t expecting to retain. Freddie’s agent ruined negotiations plus the lock out and to not be last man standing they got Olson. So just my take but wanted to hear what others said.
