A new regional broadcast arrangement has been reported: Detroit SportsNet was launched in 2026 as a home for Tigers and Red Wings broadcasts, with streaming and a linear channel strategy expected to roll out across Michigan. This marks a shift away from previous carriers and aims to stabilize local viewing options for Red Wings games in the 2026-27 season. [Ground News summary citing multiple outlets, 2026-03-01][1]

There has been significant media coverage around the Red Wings’ future TV plan, including partnerships involving Ilitch Sports + Entertainment and production support from MLB’s broadcast ecosystem. Reports suggest the Red Wings’ broadcasts could transition to a new production model and a dedicated regional channel in the 2026-27 window. [The Hockey News, 2026-02-08][3]

In the near term, the 2025-26 season was described as ending with Bally Sports Detroit in some regions or other arrangements still in flux, as leagues and teams reassess regional sports-network landings and bankruptcy-related outcomes. Fans were advised to watch official team channels for the latest announcements. [The Hockey News, 2024-09-09][4]

Official outlets (NHL site, team pages) continue to be primary sources for current broadcast details, game-day access, and any platform changes, with updated info typically posted ahead of seasons. [NHL.com Red Wings page, 2026-04-16][7]
Illustrative example
- If Detroit SportsNet fully launches as planned, Red Wings games could be available through a dedicated regional channel and a companion streaming app, potentially with separate Tigers and Wings access passes or bundles, depending on contractual terms with cable providers. This aligns with the 2026-27 timeframe described in industry coverage. [Ground News summaries, 2026-03-01][1]
