The Atlanta Braves will become the latest MLB team with their own television network as BravesVision is set to make its debut this season.

The direct-to-distributor model will be available through cable, satellite and streaming services in the Braves' market, with more than 140 games expected to be produced this season.

"This endeavor will bring the most vital link to our fanbase -- our television broadcast -- back under the control of our organization," said Braves president and CEO Derek Schiller. "Generations of Braves fans were raised watching games on a network that shared ownership with the baseball team. With BravesVision, we believe that we can present Braves baseball in new and innovative ways allowing us to expand and elevate our storytelling capabilities across all of our platforms."

The Braves join a growing number of teams to take the production and distribution of games in house like the Los Angeles Dodgers (SportsNet LA), Chicago Cubs (Marquee Sports Network) and New York Yankees (YES Network).

About half of all MLB teams are undergoing a change in their effort to get game broadcasts to local fans after continued financial woes for Main Street Sports Group, which owns the regional FanDuel Sports networks.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Guardians, Colorado Rockies, Minnesota Twins and San Diego Padres turned to MLB last season to provide broadcasts to local fans.

The Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays will rely on MLB this season to deliver broadcasts via cable and streaming services. The Los Angeles Angels have yet to solidify their television plan for 2026.

According to an MLB.com report, teams that distribute their games through MLB's television arm will receive about 50% less revenue than they did in previous television distribution deals.
