Minnesota Twins Embrace Twins.TV Era with Expanded Accessibility
Catching a Minnesota Twins game has become a whole lot easier since they transitioned from FanDuel Sports Network to Twins.TV. This move, now in its second year, has opened up access for fans both in and out of the market. Whether you’re streaming or tuning in through local cable and satellite providers, Twins.TV has made following the team more convenient than ever.
Local Broadcasts Bring Baseball Back to the Masses
In 2026, the Twins are continuing their successful partnership with FOX 9 (KMSP), offering ten over-the-air games throughout the regular season. This includes the home opener on April 3rd against the Tampa Bay Rays, ensuring fans can catch the action without a subscription.
Last season, Twins.TV attracted around 50,000 subscribers, generating $5 million in revenue-a figure that pales in comparison to their previous $54 million regional sports network deal. Nonetheless, the move has been a win for fan accessibility.
Key Matchups on the Schedule
The ten-game lineup includes four matchups against AL Central rivals and two interleague games against Miami and Atlanta, providing fans with a variety of exciting contests to enjoy.
Familiar Faces and New Additions to the Broadcast Team
Twins.TV is bringing back a mostly familiar broadcast crew, with a notable change: Anthony Recker joins the team, replacing Roy Smalley. Smalley, who decided to step down to focus on personal life, leaves behind a legacy of insightful analysis that blended traditional and modern baseball perspectives.
Recker, a former catcher with a brief stint in the Twins organization, adds a fresh voice to the analyst team. Joining him is former Twins manager Paul Molitor, a Hall of Famer who will rotate as an analyst after LaTroy Hawkins moved to a coaching role in the bullpen.
Audra Martin returns for her 11th year as the sideline reporter, continuing to be a prominent figure in Minnesota sports media, covering both the Twins and the Wild.
With these changes and a renewed focus on accessibility, the Twins are set to deliver an engaging and fan-friendly broadcast experience in 2026.
