We’ve got some more news pertaining to Opening Day (which is officially a week away from today — excited yet?). Earlier today, we got word that Chris Sale would be the Opening Day starter for the Atlanta Braves in 2026 and now there’s a bit more clarity as to where you can watch the Braves take on the Royals — on TV, at least.
The Braves have announced that the season opener on March 28 will be simulcast on Gray TV affiliates across the Southeast. Here’s some more information from the press release, including some information on what will be happening in the stadium as part of the pregame festivities:
First pitch at Truist Park is set for 7:15 p.m. ET. Viewers can watch on BravesVision and on Gray Media’s network of local television stations throughout Braves Country. Fans can find local over-the-air channel listings at bravesongray.com.
BravesVision, the multimedia platform owned and operated by the Atlanta Braves, will serve as the team’s official local television home for the 2026 season. Fans across the organization’s six-state territory will have multiple options to watch Braves games without blackouts, including through video service providers and streaming on Braves.TV. For more information on how to watch, visit braves.com/watch.
The home opener will feature pregame festivities celebrating 60 years of Braves baseball in Atlanta. At 4 p.m., fans can take part in the Braves Walk as the team circles The Battery Atlanta, starting on the first-base side and ending at the Chop House Gate before heading inside for batting practice. The pregame ceremony will include a tribute video, appearances by franchise legends, and a ceremonial first pitch.
There’s still no concrete word on what the cable television situation will be for the Braves so I don’t have any information for you when it comes to which number you need to punch into your remote in order to find the Braves. The only thing we know for certain is that if you get Braves.TV, you’ll be good and if you live in an area that has a Gray TV affiliate then you’re good as well.
We’ll have more information on the TV situation as it comes in but for now, that’s what we know.
