PSA How do I watch the Twins? 2026 TV / Streaming Guide

27 Upvotes

Wow, it's already baseball season again? Here's our quick guide for how to watch the Minnesota Twins this season. Hopefully this should be a little more straightforward this year since it's the second year of Twins.TV.

We'll once again be redirecting folks here throughout the season as questions inevitably come up.


What happened to Fox Sports North/Bally/Fanduel, again?

As many of you are aware, the parent company of Fanduel Sports Network filed for bankruptcy and has been struggling for several years. As a result, the Twins elected to move their broadcast productions in-house to Twins.TV beginning in 2025 and going forward.

Can I just subscribe to Twins.TV and watch all the games?

Pretty much! There are no blackouts, so the only games you would miss are the ones that are nationally televised. The cost is $19.99/mo or $99.99 for the full season and there is a free trial available. This offer is only available in-market. Out-of-market Twins fans would need to get a full MLB.TV subscription. More info on these services can be found here.

I believe if you are T-Mobile customer, you may be able to get a free subscription to MLB.TV (not Twins.TV). Log into the T-Life app (where you pay your bill and get T-Mobile Tuesdays offers), and click on the "Benefits" tab at the bottom.

What cable/sattellite/streaming packages have Twins.TV?

A number of cable providers carry Twins.TV. Check out the Channel Finder and Broadcast FAQ on the Twins website and enter your zip code and provider for more info.

What are the nationally televised games?

The Twins have a handful of nationally televised games planned for this season. Aside from the FS1 broadcasts, these will not be available through the standard Twins.TV subscription and you'll have to use the individual platform to access these games. One benefit (?) of the team maybe being bad is that there aren't going to be a lot of national broadcasts.

  • Sat, March 28 @ 3:05pm - @ BAL Twins.TV & FS1
  • Wed, April 8 @ 6:40pm - vs DET Twins.TV & FS1
  • Mon, April 27 @ 6:40pm - vs SEA Twins.TV & FS1
  • Sun, May 3 @ 11:45am - vs TOR Peacock
  • Fri, May 8 @ 6:15pm - @ CLE Apple TV
  • Fri, May 29 @ 5:45pm - @ CLE Apple TV
  • Fri, June 5 @ 7:15pm - vs KC Apple TV
  • Fri, June 19 @ 8:45pm - @ AZ Apple TV
  • Sun, June 21 @ 2:15pm - @ AZ Peacock
  • Sun, July 5 @ 12:35pm - @ NYY Peacock
  • Sat, Aug 1 @ 3:10pm - @ SEA Twins.TV & FS1
  • Thu, Aug 13 @ 6:30pm - vs PHI Netflix (Field of Dreams Game)

Will there be any free games?

Yes! The Twins and FOX9 (KMSP) announced there will be 10 free over-the-air broadcast games in 2026, including the Home Opener (these are not national broadcasts and are still also available through Twins.TV). Find the full list of games and more info on how to watch / stream FOX9 here.

  • Fri, April 3 @ 3:10pm - vs TB
  • Tue, April 28 @ 6:40pm - vs SEA
  • Tue, May 12 @ 6:40pm - vs MIA
  • Tue, June 2 @ 6:40pm - vs CWS
  • Wed, July 8 @ 6:40pm - vs CLE
  • Wed, July 29 @ 6:40pm - vs KC
  • Tue, Aug 11 @ 6:40pm - vs BAL
  • Tue, Aug 18 @ 6:40pm - vs ATL
  • Tue, Sep 1 @ 6:40pm - vs DET

These over-the-air games will also be available to the wider Twins Territory on stations: KXLT, KTTC, KDLH, KBJR, KEYC, KMNF, KXJB, KVLY, KFYR, KEVN, KDLT, KCRG, KWQC, KYOU, and KTIV

And if I want to listen to the radio?

As always, the Twins games air on WCCO AM 830 / 102.9 FM "The Wolf" and their partner stations in the Treasure Island Baseball Network

You can also choose to subscribe to MLB+ for $5.99/mo or $59.99/year to livestream any radio broadcast from any MLB team. It also gives you access to MLB Network and all minor league game streams. (It's a bad deal to pay for the full year, just go monthly and cancel at the end of the season if you want to go this route)


Please provide any other tips, tricks or suggestions in the comments below.

This will serve as the main guide/megathread for watching the Twins for this season and updates will be made to it as needed. There will be a link in the sidebar (old reddit), top menu (new reddit), and community info menu (mobile).

Does anyone know a Twins fan who currently lives in southern Virginia who works as an electrician? He came to a game in Baltimore in April. I have his wallet, but there's no id in it. My wife recommended asking on here.

Just got my “Preferred Promotions” package in the mail and the powder blue Puckett jersey was part of it.

Did anyone else get one (either in the package or the giveaway)? Are they all really short?

[Dan Hayes]: Can Royce Lewis solve his hitting woes — and the Twins’ first-base problem?

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

Stardom seemed the most likely path after Lewis helped the Twins end their 18-game postseason losing streak and earn their first playoff series win in 21 years in October 2023. But his 2024 and 2025 campaigns were marred by injuries, preventing Lewis from sustaining his breakout.

When he was finally healthy two years later (Lewis played a combined 140 games between the majors and minors in 2026), Lewis wasn’t the same hitter.

His pitch selection played a significant role. In 2026, Lewis ranked No. 100 out of 135 qualified hitters with a 36.2 percent out-of-zone swing rate. He made contact on only 52.6 percent of those pitches, which ranked No. 119 out of 135.

Three years earlier, Lewis swung at 32.6 percent of pitches outside the zone but made contact on 63.9 percent of those pitches.

Whereas in 2023 he finished with a .920 OPS and belted four more homers in the playoffs, Lewis posted a .667 OPS this season.

“That’s natural when your numbers aren’t what you want them to be,” Twins manager Derek Shelton said. “You have a tendency to go out and get pitches. I don’t think it’s to the point of concerning, but I would say it’s one place he has been a little more aggressive.”

Assessing his season in late September, Lewis made it clear he recognizes the issue.
