Diamond Sports and the Twins announce a one-year renewal of the TV rights

For at least one more year, Twins fans will be able to watch the team play on Bally Sports North.

The Minnesota Twins and Diamond Sports Group announced an agreement on a one-year extension of the team’s broadcast rights through the 2024 season.

As a result, all regionally televised Twins games this year will be produced and distributed by Bally Sports North.

“We value our long-standing partnership with Bally Sports North and are pleased to let our fans know where they can watch Twins baseball in 2024,” said club President & CEO Dave St. Peter. “Our continued collaboration with Bally Sports North’s talented staff and crew will ensure exceptional broadcast coverage of what promises to be a thrilling season for the Twins and our fans. Looking beyond this short-term resolution, the Twins remain fully committed to expanding the reach and accessibility of our telecasts and other team-related content.”

Fans in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, western Wisconsin and northern Iowa can watch games on cable providers, such as Comcast Xfinity and Charter Spectrum, satellite with DirecTV or streaming TV providers.

People can also live stream Twins games on the Bally Sports app when they authenticate with their TV provider.

After an offseason of TV rights drama, here is how to watch the Minnesota Twins this season.

It’s been a long and frustrating winter for fans, but the Minnesota Twins are finally back. Last season the Twins ended a miserable 19-year postseason losing streak and played deeper into October than they have since 2002.

Rather than dwell on the moves the Twins didn’t makes, like properly replacing Sonny Gray, it’s worth remembering that there’s plenty of things to be excited about. Both Royce Lewis and Edouard Julien are primed to follow up their rookie seasons with even better sophomore campaigns, and the youth movement they started is going to continue this season.

Austin Martin and Brooks Lee are expected to be in the mix this season, and we could see more young pitchers like Marco Raya and David Festa follow in the footsteps of Bailey Ober and Loue Varland.

Lest we forget the starpower the Twins are running back. Pablo Lopez received Cy Young votes last year, Carlos Correa’s postseason reminded everyone why he got a $200M deal, and Byron Buxton is already hyping up his return to the lineup.

Minnesota no doubt whiffed on truly improving the roster this winter, but the lack of movement shouldn’t distract from the fact that there’s already a lot to love about this team already.

How to watch the Twins on cable in 2024

One of the biggest narratives of the offseason was the TV rights drama with Diamond Sports Group. If you missed it, congratulations on not having a constant three-month headache. The Twins operated most of the offseason without a TV deal, both due to Diamond going bankrupt and the team’s deal having run out at the end of the season.

Minnesota had no television deal and the place they were expecting to have one had no money. It’s was the worst timing possible and it’s why the team had to adjust its payroll. In the end, we went all the way around the world of chaos to land right back where we started — Twins games will be broadcast on Bally Sports North in 2024.

The constant challenge with Bally is that if you don’t have cable you’re going to have a hard time streaming the games. Anyone who does have a traditional cable package will be able to watch the Twins on Bally Sports North the same way as always.

Bally isn’t the only channel that will be carrying Twins games, though. With Minnesota having broken through to a higher tier of seriousness, the Twins will likely be featured on more FS1, FOX, and ESPN games this year as nationally televised broadcasts.
