The Reds announced Monday they reached an agreement to return to their former regional sports network partner for the upcoming season.

The Reds and Main Street Sports announced on Monday that the team's 2025 local television broadcasts of games will be produced and distributed on the FanDuel Sports Network. This move is a reversal of plans announced in November to have MLB Media handle Reds local broadcasts.

The newly struck deal between the Cincinnati Reds and FanDuel Sports Network replaces the Reds deal for '25 with MLB TV and includes streaming rights.

The Reds are the second team to revert to the FanDuel Sports Networks after previously planning to turn broadcasts to MLB. The Brewers did the same a couple weeks ago. In both cases, the team only agreed to a one-year deal. MLB has expressed skepticism about the broadcast corporation’s long-term viability despite its emergence from bankruptcy.

The Cincinnati Reds player payroll budget had been frozen at last year's level (roughly $100 million). Until a new local TV deal was struck.

The team had previously announced its intention to let MLB handle production and distribution for the upcoming season. The Cincinnati Reds are making a big lineup change heading into the 2025 season.

The Cincinnati Reds have signed a new agreement for local telecast and digital broadcasts of its 2025 season, and it's a familiar face. The Cincinnati Reds on Jan. 13 announced a new linear and digital rights agreement to produce and distribute game telecasts in 2025.
