Bally Sports is now FanDuel Sports Network - FAQ's
Is FanDuel Sports Network the new Bally Sports?
Yes we are! We’ve recently rebranded our TV networks and app offering from Bally Sports and Bally Sports+ to FanDuel Sports Network (no + included with the app). We’re thrilled to be partnering with FanDuel, and while fans can continue to enjoy coverage on our networks, we’ll be introducing new features and more exclusive content (coming soon). Our goal is to make FanDuel Sports Network the nation’s leading provider of local sports with 16 Regional Sports Networks (aka "RSNs") that provide live broadcasts of local teams and other sports content with a streaming subscription, or through a cable, satellite or streaming TV provider. These RSNs are the TV home to an extensive network of MLB, NHL, and NBA teams nationwide, meaning we produce thousands of local telecasts every year in the U.S.
