Cleveland Guardians Unveil 2026 Broadcast Schedule Featuring NBC Partnerships

Breaking Down the 2026 Broadcast Schedule

On January 26, 2026, the Cleveland Guardians took a significant step in enhancing their visibility by releasing their broadcast lineup for the upcoming season. Fans can expect to see numerous games aired on major networks, including NBC, which is a welcomed return to the franchise's broadcasting strategy.

This season, fans will still have the comfort of familiar options, as there are no major changes in how they will catch the Guardians in action.

Television Coverage

The Guardians are committed to making over 150 games accessible through CLEGuardians.TV, in collaboration with MLB Media. Cable television providers will continue to offer the same high-quality coverage seen in prior seasons, ensuring that dedicated fans won't miss a single moment of the action.

WKYC will simulcast 10 games this season, with an additional game highlighted as part of “NBC's Sunday Night Baseball” against the Atlanta Braves.

Exciting Nationally Televised Games

The Guardians are planned to play a total of 13 nationally televised games across the eight broadcast partners of MLB. This variety not only promotes the team but also opens up opportunities for fans outside of Cleveland to engage with the Guardians' journey throughout the season.

“The exposure is invaluable for a team looking to elevate its brand and connect with more fans,” said a team spokesperson.

Radio Coverage and Listening Options

For those who enjoy listening to the games, all matches will be broadcast on the Guardians Radio Network. The flagship station, WTAM (1100-AM), will provide coverage alongside 133 games on FM flagship WMMS (100.7-FM). Additionally, Spanish-speaking fans can tune into WARF (1350-AM), which will air 81 home games. This year, I am particularly excited about the MLB/iHeart streaming services that will allow fans to stream games directly to their devices.

Upcoming Broadcast Schedule Highlights

Let's dive into the March-April schedule:

• Thurs., March 26: @ Seattle, 10:10 PM (Guardians TV, WTAM)
• Fri., March 27: @ Seattle, 9:40 PM (Guardians TV, WTAM)
• Sun., March 29: @ Seattle, 7:20 PM (Peacock, WTAM)
• Fri., April 3: vs. Chicago-NL, 4:10 PM (WKYC, Guardians TV)
• Sun., April 5: vs. Chicago-NL, 1:40 PM (Guardians TV, WTAM)

We can look forward to televised games against big opponents which will ramp up excitement among fans.

In Conclusion

The Guardians' strategy to enhance their broadcasting reach signals a proactive approach to engaging with fans and growing the team's presence. As the start of the season approaches, I urge all fans to embrace this robust schedule and take part in the Cleveland Guardians' journey. From cable to streaming, the possibilities are endless for following our team in 2026!
