Get ready for some exciting news, Tigers fans! The upcoming spring training season is about to get even more accessible and thrilling!
While the team is still putting the finishing touches on their regular season TV plans, they've got a special treat for us this spring. Several Tigers games will be available to watch for free during spring training, and we're here to tell you how to catch all the action.
But here's where it gets controversial... or at least a little confusing. The Tigers' spring opener against the New York Yankees was streamed on tigers.com and MLB.com, but to watch these games, fans need to create a free account on MLB.com. The good news is that these spring training TV telecasts are available for free to Tigers fans in Michigan and the surrounding areas. So, if you're in the region, you're in luck!
The Tigers haven't revealed their entire spring training TV schedule yet, but they've assured us that they'll be broadcasting at least a few games this month and next. And here's the part most people miss: these games won't be available on traditional cable channels. The channel for regular-season games isn't live yet, so we'll have to rely on other means to catch the action.
Stay tuned, because the Tigers will announce their complete spring training TV schedule next week. It's a great opportunity to get a sneak peek at the team's performance before the regular season begins.
Now, here's a twist: the Tigers recently announced they're leaving FanDuel Sports Network and joining MLB Media's umbrella. To access the 2026 regular-season games, Tigers fans will need to get a streaming subscription through MLB.TV (price to be announced) or an upgraded subscription through their cable provider. And get this - an app for subscribers is also in the works, but it's not named yet and won't be live until just before Opening Day.
But wait, there's more! The Tigers also announced that 20 spring training games will be broadcast on the radio. Starting with the game against the Yankees on Saturday, you can tune in to either 97.1-FM or 1270-AM to catch all the action. The radio schedule continues with games on specific dates and frequencies, so make sure to mark your calendars.
So, Tigers fans, are you ready to embrace this new era of accessibility and excitement? We can't wait to see how this unfolds. And remember, the more we support our team, the more they'll deliver! Let's go, Tigers!
