After undergoing a full-scale revamp last offseason, the waters have calmed on the Texas Rangers’ television front.
Thanks in large part to the Rangers Sports Network, fans can enter the 2026 season with a little more stability on where to watch their favorite MLB team. That new stability brought with it a ratings boost last season, as RSN broadcasts produced a 37% increase in households delivered over the 2024 season average in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, according to Nielsen ratings.
Rangers broadcasts are mostly sticking with what works in 2026, with another 130+ Rangers games to be viewed on RSN via cable and direct-to-consumer streaming platforms along with a handful of games on over-the-air broadcasts
Here’s how to watch the Texas Rangers in Year 2 of the Rangers Sports Network.
2026 Rangers schedule
Cable and satellite providers
RSN has partnered with several traditional cable providers to air Rangers’ games in Dallas. Customers of DirecTV, U-Verse, Spectrum and Astound Broadband will be able to watch the RSN channel, which will air around 135 games this year.

Streaming options
More digitally inclined Rangers fans will be able to watch RSN on Victory+, the same streaming platform that currently hosts Dallas Stars games. While the Stars’ games air for free on the platform, the Rangers Sports Network will cost fans $100 for a subscription to watch.
FuboTV is another streaming option for RSN. The streaming platform will offer Rangers Sports Network as a standalone subscription that can be locally paired with a Fubo Free plan or Latino plan. This would include the same games available to cable customers.
