Angels Broadcast TV (ABTV): How to Watch Los Angeles Angels Games in 2026

As of May 2026, Los Angeles Angels fans have a new—yet familiar—home for game broadcasts. FanDuel Sports Network West (RSN) has officially transitioned to Angels Broadcast Television (ABTV)—making it easier than ever for local fans to follow every pitch, plus pregame and postgame analysis.

What Is Angels Broadcast TV (ABTV)?

Angels Broadcast Television (ABTV) is the dedicated RSN for the Los Angeles Angels. While the name has changed from FanDuel Sports Network West, the viewing experience remains largely the same for existing fans.

  • Full game coverage of Angels regular season matchups
  • Pregame and postgame shows with in-depth analysis
  • Coverage excludes nationally broadcast games (such as ESPN, Peacock, FOX or Apple TV+ exclusives)
  • Starting with the 2026-2027 NHL season, local Los Angeles Kings games will also be broadcast on ABTV.

What Channel Is ABTV on DIRECTV?

Because Angels Broadcast TV took over from FDSN West, the channel remains the same. On DIRECTV, that’s channel 692.

This seamless transition ensures fans don’t have to search for a new channel or update their setup.

How to Get Angels Broadcast TV

There are multiple ways to access ABTV through a DIRECTV subscription:

  • CHOICE™ Signature Package and above provides local Angels fans with access to ABTV.
  • Out-of-market fans must purchase MLB Extra Innings® or MLB.TV to get access to ABTV, available via DIRECTV.
  • MySports® Genre Pack® customers within the Angels territory can add the MyHomeTeam Mini-Pack to access ABTV—offering a flexible way to follow the Angels without upgrading to a larger package.

Angels Games on FOX 11 and FOX 11 Plus

Even if you don’t have a TV plan that gives you access to ABTV, local fans will still get a chance to watch their team live on TV this season.

Following the success of league-wide simulcasts, the Angels are expanding their reach in 2026.

Select games will air for free over the air on:

  • FOX 11 (KTTV Channel 11)
  • FOX 11 Plus (KCOP Channel 13)

This added distribution makes Angels baseball more accessible to fans across the Los Angeles area.

Streaming Angels Games with MLB App Access

ABTV is also integrated with MLB’s digital platform.

Angels Broadcast TV serves as the broadcast extension of Angels.TV, the team’s official streaming service through MLB.

Here’s how to watch on the go:

  • Sign in to the MLB app using your DIRECTV credentials
  • Stream live games, plus pregame and postgame coverage
