Cincinnati Reds New Streaming Option Plans for the 2026 Season

The Cincinnati Reds are currently looking for a new streaming option for the 2026 season after terminating their contract with Diamond Sports. With Main Street Sports facing financial issues, teams are in urgent talks to secure TV deals for the upcoming season. Victory+ has emerged as a potential solution, with several MLB teams, including the Texas Rangers, already using this service.

According to reports, Victory+ is offering teams a combination of modest rights fees, minimum guarantees, and revenue sharing opportunities. The President of the company, Neil Gruninger, expressed his desire to work with as many teams as possible to help them navigate the current media rights landscape.

While Victory+ is a free-to-access streaming service, the content is behind a paywall, similar to how the Texas Rangers utilize the platform. This could potentially end blackouts for local viewers, although fans may need to pay a subscription fee to access the content.

As the 2026 season approaches, teams and sports organizations are scrambling to finalize streaming deals. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops. For the latest news and exclusive coverage of the Cincinnati Reds, make sure to bookmark Cincinnati Reds Talk for all the updates you need.
