Diamondbacks 2026: Your Ultimate Viewing Guide

The Arizona Diamondbacks finished last season with an 80-82 record, placing fourth in the NL West. For the upcoming 2026 season, the team aims to build on its performance by retaining key players and bolstering its pitching staff. Merrill Kelly and Zac Gallen are back to stabilize the rotation, with Paul Sewald returning to strengthen the bullpen. Offensive powerhouses Corbin Carroll, Geraldo Perdomo, and Ketel Marte, all of whom received MVP votes in 2025, will lead the lineup.

Viewing the Diamondbacks in 2026 presents a challenge, as most games are not on national TV. DBACKS.TV is the primary source for local broadcasts, available via select cable/satellite providers or a direct-to-consumer subscription starting at $19.99 per month. For fans outside the local market, MLB.TV is necessary, costing $134.99 to $149.99 annually. Season ticket holders and T-Mobile customers may receive free MLB.TV access.

Several national networks will carry Diamondbacks games. Fox will broadcast 23 "Baseball Night in America" games on Saturdays, with FS1 airing additional matchups mid-week. ESPN will have 30 regular-season exclusive games, and ABC will feature three games. Apple TV's "Friday Night Baseball" will air select games, including the Diamondbacks' home opener against the Braves on April 3. NBC and Peacock will carry "Sunday Night Baseball" games, including the Diamondbacks' season opener against the Dodgers on March 26.

Other viewing options include MLB Network Showcase, which airs a couple of games weekly, and TBS, which will broadcast select games and the ALDS/ALCS playoffs. Netflix will exclusively stream three MLB events: the 2026 opener on March 25, the Home Run Derby on July 13, and the "Field of Dreams" game on Aug. 13.
