Oakland Athletics at Kansas City Royals - August 17, 2026

ATHLETICS.TV is the in-market streaming option for Athletics games, offered in partnership with the team's NBC Sports affiliate, NBC Sports California. Unlike the clubs that moved to MLB Local Media, the Athletics kept their regional network, so NBC Sports California still carries the broadcasts while ATHLETICS.TV delivers them direct-to-consumer through the MLB App. It works only inside the Athletics' home television territory, and out-of-market fans watch through MLB.TV instead. It may also be referenced by the shorthand ATH.TV.

Regional sports network serving Northern California with coverage of Sacramento Kings and Oakland Athletics games.

Royals.TV provides Royals fans access to their non-nationally televised game. And is available to KC Royals fans both in and outside of their home blackout territory. For those who purchase outside of the home market, you may be subject to blackouts based on any teams whose territory you may be occupying. This is especially troublesome for those in AL Central markets — Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, and Minneapolis. It may also be referenced as KC.TV.
