Minnesota Twins baseball is coming back to free, over-the-air television.
The team announced Tuesday morning that locally, FOX 9 will air ten regular season night games starting April 15 when the Twins host the Mets. Each broadcast will include a 30-minute pregame show.
This announcement comes after the Twins announced a new cable and satellite deal on a handful of providers, in addition to Twins.TV which is a streaming package fans can purchase for the season, or month-to-month.
“We joined MLB Media and created Twins.TV in 2025 to increase access for all fans, with a big part being the opportunity to return to free, over-the-air television,” said Twins Executive Chair Joe Pohlad. “To achieve that goal with our partners at FOX 9 – a station that has long been dedicated to local programming and the game of baseball – is wonderful for the Twins and our fans, and we could not be more excited."
There will be other TV stations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa that will carry the same Tuesday night package, which is part of a multi-year deal.
"FOX 9 is thrilled and honored to bring the Minnesota Twins back to broadcast television," Marian Davey, General Manager of FOX 9 KMSP-TV, said of the partnership. "The Twins are more than Minnesota’s baseball team, they are part of who we are as a state. For generations, the Twins and Minnesota families have been making lifetime memories together. Now it’s time to make new ones.”
This is the first over-the-air television broadcasts of Twins baseball in the Twin Cities since 2012, and the first time outer markets since 1988, the year after the team's first World Series win.
Beyond the 10-game Tuesday package, an additional five Twins contests have been selected for national FOX Saturday Baseball telecasts this season, meaning that 15 regular season Twins games will air locally on FOX 9 in 2025. Before those matchups, FOX 9 will present “Twins Weekend Live,” an exclusive one-hour pregame show.
Each Twins game is also available for free on 830 WCCO, 102.9 The Wolf, and on the Audacy app (in-market restrictions apply).
