Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are officially the oldest all-professional baseball team, founded in 1869 as the Cincinnati Red Stockings. Nowadays, they play in the National League Central Division, which they have won three times, and they call Great American Ball Park home. If you want to know how to catch the Cincinnati Reds game tonight, or any other night throughout the season, this guide will tell you all you need to know.

What Channel is the Reds Game on Tonight?

The Cincinnati Reds are one of the many MLB teams to now be covered as part of the FanDuel Sports Network. The FanDuel Sports Network Ohio channel not only broadcasts most Reds games, but also games featuring the Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA), the Columbus Blue Jackets (NHL), and a mix of local collegiate teams.

The only Cincinnati Reds games not featured on FanDuel Sports Network Ohio will be those that are broadcast nationally. Those games will be shown on one of the following channels instead:

  • ESPN: Select nationally broadcast MLB games and Sunday Night Baseball.
  • TBS: Tuesday Night MLB games throughout the regular season.
  • FOX: 20 Saturday late afternoon or evening games, and four Thursday night games.
  • MLB Network: 26 MLB Network Showcase games - blackout restrictions apply for in-market fans.

How to Stream Reds Games Online

If you prefer to go down the streaming route, then local fans can stream directly via the FanDuel Sports Network App or website, however, you will need a subscription from a TV provider for this. Our recommendation is to go for Fubo TV or DirectTV Stream, which both carry FanDuel Sports Network Ohio, in addition to the nationally broadcasting channels, ensuring you get those higher-profile games as well.

If you live outside of the Ohio area, or are interested in accessing as much of the MLB schedule as possible, then you should consider a subscription to MLB.TV. This will give you access to every single out-of-market clash live and on-demand. While in-market games will be subject to blackout restrictions, you can watch live replays soon after.

If you don’t like the sound of anything we have gone through above, then you can also consider one of these other streaming platforms. The providers listed below all air select games throughout the MLB season, alongside a wide range of other sports and entertainment.

  • ESPN+: One out-of-market game per day throughout the regular season
  • Roku: MLB Sunday Leadoff - Broadcasting early Sunday afternoon games during the regular season.
