The Braves on Wednesday announced a multiyear partnership with Gray Media that will allow Gray to broadcast certain Braves games during the 2025 season.
Gray, which includes Peachtree TV, will simulcast 15 regular-season games alongside FanDuel Sports Network, the Braves’ television rightsholder. Gray also will exclusively produce and air 10 spring training games.
The deal will bring Braves baseball to more households in the team’s home TV territory. A release said the partnership will provide more than 15 million households with a new way to watch these select Braves games, which will be announced at a later date. Gray will carry the Braves in 24 markets across six states in the club’s TV territory.
Gray will air the games on Peachtree TV (Atlanta’s CW affiliate, WPCH 17.1) and Peachtree Sports Network in Atlanta and throughout the Southeast in Gray’s network of broadcast stations, which includes: Palmetto Sports & Entertainment Network, the Tennessee Valley Sports & Entertainment Network and a portion of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network. Certain games will be on Gray’s ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and CW affiliates.
