The Atlanta Braves and Diamond Sports Group, operating under the newly branded FanDuel Sports Network, have announced significant developments following Diamond Sports’ emergence from bankruptcy. A court-approved reorganization plan has allowed the network to reduce its debt significantly and continue broadcasting games for teams like the Braves and Atlanta Hawks.

The Braves will benefit from expanded in-market streaming options, allowing fans to watch games via platforms such as the FanDuel Sports Network app and potentially through Amazon Prime Video as an add-on service. This marks a significant shift, as fans will no longer need traditional cable packages to access these broadcasts, providing a more affordable alternative. Pricing details for these services are expected soon.

Braves CEO Derek Schiller expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing the importance of making games more accessible to fans. The changes aim to enhance the viewing experience ahead of the 2025 season.

This move is part of Diamond Sports’ broader strategy to adapt to shifting consumer preferences and recover financially. However, challenges remain, as industry analysts question the long-term viability of the company’s new structure.
