Changes To Twins Television & Streaming In 2026
In 2025, the Twins were one of three teams to have their broadcast rights acquired by MLB Local Media, the other two being the Cleveland Guardians and the Seattle Mariners. This allowed the Twins to roll out their own exclusive streaming package known as Twins.TV, which will continue to operate in 2026.
What is Twins.TV?
Twins.TV is still the simplest way for in-market fans to stream Twins games during the regular season. At the cost of $99.99 for the entire season, you’ll no longer need to deal with all of the complexities of blackouts, a cable subscription, or a regional sports network.
For out-of-market fans, the standard option is an MLB.TV subscription remains the same. If you’re a first-time subscriber, it’s important to note that MLB.TV will include a free trial of ESPN+ that will automatically renew unless canceled. The subscription is currently priced at $29.99 per month or $149.99 for the whole season. For additional questions, feel free to visit the Twins Broadcast FAQ page here.
Despite it now being much simpler for fans to watch Twins baseball from the comfort of their own homes, this will undoubtedly have a drastic impact on the team’s revenue. Tom Pohlad announced that they sold roughly 50,000 subscriptions to Twins.TV last year, representing just $50 million in broadcast revenue. Without significant growth of this streaming offering, the front office will have to account for this meaningful decline in broadcast revenue when setting its budget for each season.
The Difference Between MLB.TV & Twins.TV
An MLB.TV subscription will work for anyone outside the Twins' blackout region. The blackout region is all of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and a small part of western Wisconsin. To check whether your region is blacked out, you can use this MLB blackout tool.
