Common questions
What TV channel is the Royals game on today?
Most Kansas City Royals games air on ROYALS.TV, the team's regional broadcaster, with national games on FOX, FS1, NBC, and NBCSN. For the rest of the season, the How to Watch section above breaks down every channel and service that carries Kansas City Royals games.
What is ROYALS.TV and do I need cable for it?
ROYALS.TV is the team's direct-to-consumer stream, run by MLB. You can subscribe to it on its own with no cable, and unlike a regional cable app it works in any market, not just the team's home area. It carries the local Royals broadcasts that used to air on FanDuel Sports Network Kansas City.
How do I watch the Royals if I live outside the market?
ROYALS.TV works in any market, so you can subscribe to it from anywhere to follow the Royals, which a regional cable app would not allow. MLB.TV is the other option and carries every out-of-market game. The one catch is local blackouts: if you are physically inside a team's home territory, that team's games can be blacked out on either service.
How do I know if I'm in the Kansas City Royals TV territory?
If you live in Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, or Oklahoma, you're probably inside it — that's where ROYALS.TV carries the games and MLB.TV blacks them out, home or away. Territory lines follow ZIP codes, not state lines, so check your ZIP in the streaming calculator for the real answer.
What time do the Royals play?
Most Royals home games start around 6:40 PM CT, with day games near 1:10 PM CT and road games shifting by time zone. See the schedule above for the next game's exact first pitch.
