ST. LOUIS — There’s been a lot of speculation about where sports fans can see games after the parent company of Cardinals and Blues TV provider Bally Sports Midwest filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2023. Parent company Diamond Sports Group and FanDuel just announced a partnership that will rebrand 16 regional sports networks as FanDuel Sports Network. The change takes effect on October 21.
The agreement allows FanDuel promote their content on live NBA, NHL, and MLB games on the newly named network. Both companies plan to explore combining their streaming services, potentially including FanDuel TV programming on the sports network.
FanDuel, founded in 2009 as a fantasy sports company, has grown into a major sports betting operator. After merging with Paddy Power Betfair in 2018, it expanded into sportsbooks and online betting.
The rebranded networks will cover various regions across the United States, including Detroit, Florida, Great Lakes, and others. Viewers can access local games through fanduelsportsnetwork.com, either by logging in with their TV provider credentials or subscribing directly to the service.
FanDuel will also have the ability to resell Diamond’s direct-to-consumer product as part of the deal. While the partnership includes additional economic and equity elements, the financial details of the agreement were not made public.
