Catching the Minnesota Twins on TV over the last decade has become increasingly more difficult, seemingly with ever year that went by. Ultimately, the Twins were forced to move on from FanDuel Sports Network, and now enter year two of the Twins.TV era.

Immediately upon switching, games became way easier to take in. Not only can Twins.TV be streamed by fans both in and out of market, but it’s available as an add-on in most cable and satellite providers locally too.

10 Minnesota Twins games to broadcast locally in 2026

Last year, with their move to Twins.TV, the Minnesota Twins also took advantage of an opportunity to bring baseball back over-the-air too, partnering with local FOX 9 (KMSP) for a handful of simulcast games — which they will repeat in 2026 for a total of ten games.

The ten games are split up to cover each month of the regular season. April 3rd against the Tampa Bay Rays is Minnesota’s home opener, and wisely will be available to the masses.

We recently learned the Twins pulled in only roughly 50,000 subscribers to their streaming product last season. At $100 a pop, that checks in at $5 million in revenue. Their reported regional sports network deal was worth around $54 million.

Among the games offered, four are against AL Central rivals, while two (Miami and Atlanta) are will be played against National League competition.

Twins bringing back familiar broadcast crew for Twins.TV

The faces and personalities on the Twins.TV broadcast team are mostly all familiar. The most notable change is the addition of Anthony Recker and removal of Roy Smalley.

I confirmed directly with Roy Smalley that it was his decision to step down. He wants to focus more on family and his personal life. His candor and ability to merge old and new school perspectives will certainly be missed.

Recker — a former catcher whose career ended in 2018 will be an interesting addition to the analyst rotation — briefly played in the Minnesota Twins organization (19 games at Triple-A Rochester in 2017).

Another (more familiar) addition to the broadcast team is former Twins manager Paul Molitor, who will rotate as an analyst. The Hall of Famer has stuck around the Minnesota Twins organization, despite his dismissal as skipper in 2019. He will take the spot of LaTroy Hawkins, who’s now coaching in the bullpen.

Meanwhile, Audra Martin — who has become a staple as the sideline reporter — is back for year 11. She’s become one of the most recognizable members of the Minnesota sports media across, as she continues to work for both the Wild and Twins.
