Cord-cutting Royals fans may not be able to watch the team this year

With just over two weeks before Opening Day, Royals fans are anxious to see their team back on the field after the pandemic-shortened season in 2020. But for those that don’t have a cable subscription, it is looking like it will be very difficult to watch the Royals on television anytime soon.

Fox Sports Kansas City - now rebranded as Bally’s Kansas City - is the rights-holder for Royals games. Sinclair Broadcasting purchased them and 21 other regional sports networks (RSNs) in 2019. Since then, the channel has been dropped by streaming services Sling TV, Youtube TV, fuboTV, and Hulu, in addition to DISH Network, a satellite service.
