Cardinals announce multiyear deal with Diamond Sports Group

November 7th, 2024

The Cardinals announced on Thursday that they have signed a new multiyear rights deal with Diamond Sports Group. It allows FanDuel Sports Network, formerly Bally Sports Midwest, to remain the television home for Cardinals games.

The agreement also provides direct-to-consumer TV service for fans regardless of where they live. For the first time, fans across the Cardinals' extensive coverage area will be able to purchase a subscription to stream games on the FanDuel Sports Network app without needing a cable subscription.

Those who are cable customers will be able to stream games and other Cardinals content on the FanDuel Sports Network app by authenticating their account.

Details about subscriptions and pricing will be announced prior to the 2025 MLB season, a Diamond Sports spokesman said.

“We are pleased to enhance and expand our long-term partnership with Diamond and FanDuel Sports Network Midwest,” Cardinals president Bill DeWitt III said in a statement. “We valued the continuity for our fans of staying on the same network as the (NHL) Blues, and we are excited that we will now be able to expand access to our games and other great Cardinals content across multiple platforms next year.”
