The Reds are the second team to revert to the FanDuel Sports Networks after previously planning to turn broadcasts to MLB. The Brewers did the same a couple weeks ago. In both cases, the team only agreed to a one-year deal. MLB has expressed skepticism about the broadcast corporation’s long-term viability despite its emergence from bankruptcy.

The Reds announced Monday they reached an agreement to return to their former regional sports network partner for the upcoming season.

After further negotiations, the sides reached an agreement for 2025 that includes both linear and digital streaming rights and replaces the Reds-MLB arrangement. The streaming rights had not been included in the previous Bally contract.

The team reversed its November announcement and says FanDuel will continue producing Reds games this season instead of Major League Baseball, and will offer expanded direct-to-consumer streaming of all games not broadcast nationally.

MLB announced in October that it would take over the production and distribution for the 2025 television broadcasts of the Guardians, Brewers and Twins. In November they announced a similar deal with the Reds.

The team had previously announced its intention to let MLB handle production and distribution for the upcoming season. The Cincinnati Reds are making a big lineup change heading into the 2025 season.
