Having parted ways with Diamond Sports Group/Bally Sports Southwest after their 2024 season, the Texas Rangers have a new hang for 2025. Their games will now be broadcast on a streaming service called Victory+, owned by A Parent Media Co. Inc.

UPDATE 1/29/25: The Rangers have added a couple of more options for viewing games starting with the 2025 season. The first is traditional providers like DIRECTV, satellite-free streaming, U-verse, and Spectrum. The second is over-the-air games on select Friday games, which will be broadcast on KDAF CW33. Full details can be found at rangers.com/tunein.

They've also locked in a lineup of broadcasters for 2025 game telecasts: Dave Raymond (play-by-play), Mike Bacsik (color analyst), David Murphy (color analyst), Laura Stickells (primary field reporter), Emily Jones (field reporter), Jared Sandler (pregame and postgame host), and Elvis Andrus (pregame and postgame analyst). Games will air on Rangers Sports Network (RSN), which will carry 30-minute pregame and postgame shows hosted primarily by Jared Sandler. The shows, which will be simulcast on the club’s radio partner, Audacy’s 105.3 The FAN (KRLD-FM), will also feature radio broadcasters Eric Nadel and Matt Hicks in daily sessions with Rangers Manager Bruce Bochy.

Fans can also access game broadcasts through a subscription with the Victory+ app, and RSN will offer 15 free over-the-air broadcasts via stations throughout the Rangers television territory.

The partnership, which is part of a multi-year deal, will make Victory+ the streaming home for all regional games starting with the 2025 Major League Baseball season.

The Rangers will join the Dallas Stars on the streaming service; the Stars joined with Victory+ in summer 2024 for games starting with the 2024-2025 season. The NHL's Anaheim Ducks are also currently on the service.

Fans will be able to purchase a Season Pass to watch Rangers games on Victory+ for $100, granting them access to the full season of Rangers baseball, including select Spring Training games in March.

The agreement with Victory+ is said to be the first element of the Rangers' effort to provide fans with multiple viewing options for game broadcasts in 2025. Up-to-date information regarding Rangers broadcast options can be found at rangers.com/tunein.

"The Rangers' partnership with Victory+ as our direct-to-consumer provider is a tremendous first step as the club continues to finalize our television offerings for 2025 game broadcasts," said Neil Leibman, Chairman of Rangers Sports Media & Entertainment Company, in a statement. "Victory+ has proven itself over the past few months as a reliable streaming home for several professional sports teams, and we feel Rangers fans will enjoy the familiarity, convenience and simplicity of this service."

In addition to the games, viewers will have opportunities to win prizes throughout the season, have access to exclusive fan experiences, and more.

There will also be free on-demand Texas Rangers content, including exclusive player interviews and behind-the-scenes features.

Packages for the Texas Rangers on Victory+ will be available for purchase in early February. Fans can join the early access waitlist at victoryplus.com/rangers.

Halperin Park in Dallas will show all U.S. and Mexico World Cup Group stage games on a large LED screen.

Dallas' newest park is joining the lineup of FIFA World Cup watch party sites: Halperin Park will host free public viewing events for six matches featuring the U.S. Men's National Team and Mexico's national team.

Starting with the very first match of the tournament, Mexico vs. South Africa on June 11 at 2 pm, the new bridge park will show the teams' games on their 300-square-foot LED wall, as well as several other large-scale LED screens throughout the park.

Fans will be able to watch the live broadcasts from under the bandshell or the Great Lawn in the park.

The United States opens their World Cup play on June 12 at 8 pm with a game against Paraguay.

The two teams will play on back-to-back days for the remainder of the Group stage:

Mexico vs. South Korea - June 18 at 8 pm
USA vs. Australia - June 19 at 2 pm
Mexico vs. Czechia - June 24 at 8 pm
USA vs. Türkiye - June 25 at 9 pm

Each watch party will feature local DJs and other cultural showcases, an assortment of food trucks, and access to the park’s signature amenities such as the Great Lawn, children’s playground, and interactive water features.

In addition, the park will offer special football-themed versions of its programming all month long, including story time, craft zone, face painting, and more.

"We wanted to create a safe, welcoming and high-energy environment where families can experience the magic of the World Cup right in their own backyard,” said April Allen, President and CEO of Halperin Park and the Southern Gateway Public Green Foundation, in a statement. “Whether you are wearing green, white and red for El Tri or red, white and blue for the USMNT, we are turning Dallas’s newest public green space into an outdoor living room where fans can connect, cheer, and make unforgettable memories.”

The events will also feature activations from World Cup sponsors and local partners. Highlights include a life-size replica of Adidas' official World Cup match ball, a McDonald's photo bus and children's activities, Michelob ULTRA fan viewing areas, and complimentary sunscreen provided by UT Southwestern Medical Center.

There is no word if the park will continue to host watch parties should either team advance past the Group stage.

Self-parking is available at the Dallas Zoo surface lot and parking garage, with convenient crosswalk access to the park from Ewing Avenue. Fans are encouraged to take DART, which has a stop at the Dallas Zoo, or rideshare services when possible.

Halperin Park opened in spring 2026 as a five-acre deck park spanning Interstate 35E between Ewing and Marsalis avenues near the Dallas Zoo. Built over the highway, the park was designed to reconnect neighborhoods in southern Dallas that were divided when I-35E was constructed in the 1950s.

The watch parties are part of a big slate World Cup festivities planned across North Texas. Arlington's AT&T Stadium, dubbed "Dallas Stadium" for the tournament, will host nine World Cup matches, while a FIFA Fan Fest will take place at Dallas' Fair Park and watch parties will take place in bars, parks, and other venues across Dallas-Fort Worth.
