Texas Rangers Partner with Victory+ for Streaming

The Texas Rangers have announced a partnership with the streaming service Victory+ for the 2025 baseball season, allowing fans to stream games for a subscription fee. This decision follows the team's split from Bally Sports Southwest, whose parent company, Diamond Sports Group, faced bankruptcy issues. Victory+ currently offers free streaming for the NHL's Dallas Stars, but Rangers games will require payment, with pricing yet to be disclosed. The Rangers aim to expand access for fans after many struggled to watch games in the previous season due to broadcast issues. This move is part of a broader strategy to establish a more flexible regional sports network and potentially reinstate over-the-air broadcasts. The Rangers' previous contract with Diamond Sports reportedly paid around $111 million, raising questions about future local broadcast revenues under the new agreement.
