The Texas Rangers are changing streaming homes in the middle of the season.
Starting Friday, when the Rangers face the Atlanta Braves, games that were previously available on Victory+ will move to BZZR. The switch affects fans who have been using Victory+ as their main way to watch Rangers games.
BZZR describes itself as “The world’s first streaming & social media platform built exclusively for sports.” The company’s setup appears aimed more at sports content creators than at teams offering a streaming product, but the Rangers are now the first MLB club to use it.
For current Victory+ subscribers, the transition is supposed to be straightforward. BZZR says account information is being transferred, and no extra payment for 2026 is required. Fans should receive an email from BZZR at the address tied to their account with instructions on how to move over.
The Rangers said customers can reach BZZR’s customer service center at (401) 903-2997 or by email at txrangers@bzzr.com.
The new service launched web access at bzzr.com and announced apps for Apple and Android devices on Wednesday. BZZR also said it will have an Amazon Fire option, with Roku expected to be available by August. The streaming feed on the mobile iOS app is located at the bottom, using the semi-circle icon.
The Rangers also addressed refunds through social media. The club said: “All subscription fees were paid to Victory+, and the Rangers do not have access to those funds.
We have requested that V+ make refunds to subscribers as requested and appropriate. To help accommodate our viewers, the Rangers have made arrangements with BZZR to make the remaining season available to subscribers who have already paid Victory+ at no additional cost.”
Neil Leibman, chairman of Rangers Sports Media and Entertainment Company, called the change “unfortunate” in a team release.
“It is unfortunate that this switch in direct-to-consumer distributors was necessary, but the decision was made in the best interest of both the Rangers and our fans. RSN is committed to continued delivery of the highest-quality game broadcast possible, and we feel BZZR is well-positioned to manage a seamless transition.”
According to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, the Rangers had concerns about the financial solvency of Victory+.
The club said the only change is its direct-to-consumer streaming option. Rangers Sports Network will keep producing and distributing local television broadcasts, just as it has since the start of the 2025 season. Cable, satellite and over-the-air distribution will continue without interruption, and the full list of providers remains available at rangers.com/tunein.

Rangers Face One Deadline Reunion They Need And One They Can't Afford
With the trade deadline nearing, the Rangers are being pushed toward two familiar names for very different reasons. Kirby Yates is the one that makes baseball sense on paper, a former Texas closer whose track record with the club still carries weight and whose recent work, even through injury interruptions, has reminded evaluators why he can still help a bullpen in need of stability.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa is the tougher fit. Texas has a roster crunch coming as Corey Seager returns, and the club does not appear to have much room for another utility-type reunion just for the sake of familiarity. Add in the fact that Boston has played its way back into the playoff conversation, and even the idea of a deadline deal there gets murkier by the day. [Read more 🡒]
Rangers Depth Move Raises Bigger Questions After Sudden Austin Voth Exit
Austin Voths brief stop in the Rangers system ended almost as quickly as it began, with Texas granting the veteran right-hander his release from a minor league deal after just one start for Triple-A Round Rock. Voth had signed with the club less than two weeks earlier, bringing a long major league rsum and recent experience in Japan with the Chiba Lotte Marines into what looked like a straightforward depth addition for the pitching staff.
Instead, the move leaves another open question around the Rangers pitching inventory and what comes next for a pitcher who has spent parts of eight seasons in the majors. Voths path has already taken him from multiple big league stops to overseas, and now his sudden exit from Round Rock suggests there may be more going on behind the scenes than a simple roster shuffle.
