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.

Local sports-talk radio saying that this is a test for the Braves to partner and get their own network, like others have done. Likely for the 2026 season.
