Gray TV will also exclusively produce 10 spring training games as well As far as giving in-market Atlanta Braves fans more options to watch the team during this season, this has already been a profitable offseason after the news broke that FanDuel Sports Network would be teaming up with Prime Video in order to give local (or in the case of the Braves, regional) fans an option to stream the games without a cable subscription.
Now, there’s another option for in-market fans to watch the action. The Braves have announced that they’re entering into a partnership with Gray Media. Starting in 2025, there will be 15 regular season games simulcast on Gray TV networks this upcoming season and 10 spring training games will be exclusively produced by Gray as well.
Here’s more on the deal from the Braves via a press release:
The deal will increase the reach of the selected games, providing a new way to watch Braves baseball for more than 15 million households. Gray will carry the Braves in 24 markets across six states of the Braves’ home television territory – one of the largest in professional sports – and allow more fans to watch than ever before.
The games will broadcast over-the-air on Peachtree TV Atlanta’s CW (WPCH 17.1) and Peachtree Sports Network (PSN) in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast through Gray’s network of broadcast stations, including Palmetto Sports & Entertainment Network, the Tennessee Valley Sports & Entertainment Network, and portions of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network. A select number of games will air on some of Gray’s ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and CW affiliates.
The Braves also released a map showing the networks that will be airing games across the Deep South. As a fan of infographics and a fan of maps, this scratches a very specific itch for me.

Atlanta Braves
If you live in any of these areas, you’ll have access to at least 15 over-the-air regular season Braves games in 2025.
While 15 regular season games definitely isn’t a lot, it’s still an option and I’ll never complain about having more options to watch the Braves. This is about as basic as it gets too, since this will appeal to fans who don’t have cable but do have a TV that can pick up over-the-air channels. Anything that expands options for fans to watch big league baseball is a good thing and maybe we’ll see this agreement get expanded in the future. It probably won’t be anything major but it’s still nice to know that there’s now officially another way to watch the Braves in action for the upcoming season and beyond.
