BravesVision
Regional sports network operated by the Atlanta Braves

BravesVision is a part-time regional sports network operated by the Atlanta Braves in partnership with Raycom Sports. Launched during the 2026 season, the channel serves as the broadcaster for Atlanta Braves games not televised exclusively by Major League Baseball's national media partners, succeeding FanDuel Sports Network South amid its financial issues and closedown.
The unit expands upon a working relationship between the Braves and Gray Media which began in the 2025 season; Raycom Sports serves as a production partner for BravesVision alongside team-employed personnel carried over from FDSN, with Gray handling advertising sales, and providing use of a studio at WANF in Atlanta.
Similarly to MLB Local Media, it is distributed via ad-hoc arrangements with television providers within the Braves' regional footprint, while MLB.tv hosts a direct to consumer (DTC) streaming package under the Braves.tv banner. BravesVision will also syndicate a package of games throughout the season to Gray Media stations in the team's market.
01History
Braves on Gray
Prior to the 2025 season, the Braves announced a broadcast television deal with Gray Media, the current owner of Atlanta's WPCH-TV (the former WTBS, a station which the team has had a longstanding association with), under which WPCH, sister station WANF, and a regional network of Gray Media stations across the team's broadcast territory (branded as Braves on Gray), would air 10 regular season Braves games in simulcast with FanDuel Sports Network South. The stations would also air a package of 15 spring training games; unlike the regular season package, these games were exclusive to broadcast television and produced in-house via Gray's subsidiary Raycom Sports.
FanDuel Sports Network closure, BravesVision formation
In January 2026, Main Street Sports Group's nine remaining regional contracts with MLB teams were terminated due to missed payments, amid financial issues, and declined offers by sports streaming service DAZN to acquire the company. This impacted the Atlanta Braves, whose regional broadcasts were carried by FanDuel Sports Network South. Pending further developments, FanDuel Sports Network announced that it will likely cease operations entirely following the conclusion of the current NBA and NHL seasons. While seven of the impacted teams were expected to move their regional rights to MLB Local Media, the Atlanta Braves were reported to be considering in-house options, including the possibility of establishing their own team-owned regional sports network to replace FanDuel Sports Network.
In the meantime, the Braves renewed their contract with Gray Media, which would produce a package of 15 spring training games. Taking advantage of the existing working relationship, the Braves partnered with Gray and Raycom Sports to serve as the main production partner for a new broadcasting operation, which would be known on-air as BravesVision. Gray had recently begun a larger push into professional sports, including establishing a chain of broadcast television RSNs (such as the Peachtree Sports Network), and acquiring rights to the Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans of the NBA. Raycom Sports executive producer Rob Reichley noted that the company had long-been associated with televised sports in the South (including its past relationships with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference in college sports), but believed that the Braves were the "gold medal" of professional sports properties in the region.
The productions leverage ongoing expansions of Raycom Sports' operations to accommodate professional sports; in comparison to the previous FDSN broadcasts, the BravesVision broadcasts are produced in 1080p and have a larger array of cameras, including additional slow-motion cameras, a shallow depth-of-field camera, and some games incorporating multiple FPV drones and helicopters. For away games, the unit will send its own dedicated camera crew rather than pool with the home team's broadcaster, which the Braves' executive producer Gretchen Kaney noted would allow the team to "tell as many of our own stories as we want", and have "a lot more freedom to be creative and push the envelope". Studio programming is broadcast from an outdoor studio in The Battery outside Truist Park, while in case of inclement weather, some studio shows for away games are broadcast from Gray's WANF studios. As part of the production agreement, Gray also handles advertising sales for BravesVision's broadcasts.
02Carriage
Similarly to MLB Local Media, BravesVision is distributed as a part-time channel via partnerships with television providers serving the Braves' home market; MLB Advanced Media distributes the in-market subscription streaming service Braves.tv on MLB.tv.
In 2026, the Atlanta Braves signed multi-year agreements with DirecTV, FuboTV, and Xfinity that cover across the Braves’ broadcast territory. Localized agreements were also signed with Spectrum, Absolute Cable TV, Comporium, Pine Belt Communications, and several others.
Over-the-air affiliates
As part of BravesVision, a package of games will also air in simulcast on broadcast television via the Braves on Gray network, with 25 games planned for the 2026 season.
03Personnel
The Braves' existing broadcast team carried over to BravesVision, including commentators Brandon Gaudin and C.J. Nitkowski. Studio coverage is hosted by Peter Moylan, Nick Green, and Charlie Culberson.
