One week from Thursday, the Texas Rangers will open their 2026 season with an Opening Day tilt on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Of course, Opening Day is just one game out of 162, and Rangers fans will have plenty of opportunities to watch their team play in 2026.

This season will mark the second in the Rangers Sports Network era after Texas took its TV rights deal into its own hands beginning last season.

Most of the Rangers' games this season will be on RSN as 151 of the 162 regular-season games will be available there.

Rangers Sports Network is available to fans who live in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and the eastern most counties of New Mexico via DirecTV, AT&T U-Verse, Spectrum, Victory Plus, Fubo, Astound, Vyve, Geus, and GVTC. Fans not located in the Rangers' designated territory can catch games on MLB TV.

Rangers Sports Network television coverage will feature Dave Raymond (play‑by‑play), Mike Bacsik (color analyst), David Murphy (color analyst), Laura Stickells (primary field reporter), and Jared Sandler (pre/post-game host).

The network’s pre/post‑game coverage, which will be simulcast across television and radio, will also include analysts Elvis Andrus, Nick Hundley, and Brad Miller, with Rangers Hall of Fame broadcaster Eric Nadel and his longtime partner Matt Hicks making regular on‑air appearances.

Last season, the Rangers saw their television ratings increase significantly after making the switch to RSN following the team's separation from Bally Sports. 

As things currently stand, the Rangers have 11 games scheduled to be national TV exclusive broadcasts.

Certain games still have the opportunity to be flexed and added to the national TV schedule later on in the season. If the Rangers find themselves in the thick of the race down the stretch, then expect that to be the case as networks will look to add the team to their schedule. 

Six of those games will be on FOX, four on NBC/Peacock, and one game will be on Apple TV+ as part of their Friday Night Baseball Package.

NBC is returning to the MLB scene for the first time in over 25 years after acquiring the rights to some games during the new MLB media rights deal negotiated last year.

With a loaded pitching staff and an offense set up for a rebound, the Rangers will no doubt have the team needed to compete for a postseason spot for the first time since winning it all in 2023.
