As of the 2026 MLB season, BravesVision has officially launched as the local television home of the Braves, marking a new era where the organization controls its own broadcasts from production to distribution.
Find out how you can start watching Braves games live at home right here.
What Is BravesVision?
BravesVision is the official regional broadcast platform for Atlanta Braves baseball in 2026. Unlike traditional RSNs, BravesVision is owned and operated by the team itself, giving the Braves full control over how games are produced and delivered to fans.
With BravesVision, fans can expect:
- Coverage of more than 140 Braves regular season MLB games (available across the team’s six-state regional territory)
- Pregame and postgame programming, including Braves On Deck and Braves Postgame
- Coverage excludes nationally broadcast games (such as ESPN, Peacock, FOX or Apple TV+ exclusives)
What Channel Is BravesVision on DIRECTV?
BravesVision is available on DIRECTV channel 645.
Because it replaced previous local broadcasts from FanDuel Sports Network South and Southeast, fans can continue watching Braves games with a similar viewing setup—just under a new name.
