The Texas Rangers will stream their regional games on Victory+, offering fans a new way to watch this season.
They just announced a deal with A Parent Media Co. Inc. to kick off streaming on the Victory+ service this year. This is the same platform that took over broadcasts for the NHL’s Dallas Stars.
While Stars games are free, Rangers fans will need to pay $100 for the full season. Neil Leibman, the team’s COO, said this partnership is a big step toward improving their viewing options for the future.
The Rangers have a huge fan base, with over 16 million households in their broadcast area. They didn’t share what other viewing options might be available, but more details are expected soon.
Previously, both the Rangers and Stars were on Bally Sports Southwest, which has faced financial troubles. Fans often struggled to catch games, especially when all three teams were doing well.
APMC, which also handles broadcasts for the Anaheim Ducks, reported that their new service has seen a significant boost in viewership. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have also secured a new local broadcast deal that reaches millions of Texas households.
