The Minnesota Twins released more details on Friday about their new digital streaming plan for the 2025 season, including a $99.99 annual cost.
Partnering with MLB.TV, the Twins’ broadcast will see its potential market size more than triple as the club’s games are now available to 4.4 million households in Twins Territory, up from approximately 1.3 million before.
The club expects 150-plus games will be broadcast as part of the package.
Fans can begin purchasing the package on Feb. 11. It will also be available on a monthly basis for $19.99.
“This means that for the first time ever, there will be no streaming blackouts for Twins.TV in Minnesota, no blackouts in North Dakota, no blackouts in South Dakota, no blackouts in Western Wisconsin, and no blackouts in the entire state of Iowa,” Twins president Dave St. Peter said.
Additionally, the team is offering a 50 percent discount on its digital package to fans who purchase choice or reserved season tickets through the club’s new MyTwins Membership program. Buyers of starter season ticket packages via MyTwins Membership also receive a 20 percent discount on the team’s digital streaming deal.
For those fans who prefer to continue watching via cable, Major League Baseball currently is negotiating with providers with the expectation that Twins.TV broadcasts will be offered on a similar tier/package as FanDuel, which currently broadcasts games for the Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Timberwolves and previously broadcast Twins games under its former name, Bally Sports North. After a three-month long dispute between Diamond Sports and Xfinity ended on Aug. 1, Twins fans were able to watch the team’s games on a premium sports tier for an additional $20 per month.
Fans also will be able to purchase a national MLB.TV package that includes Twins broadcasts for an undetermined price that is expected to be higher than the Twins-only version.
The Twins will offer fans a preview of their broadcast during spring training, airing five games for free on Twins.TV.
