RAYS.TV

$19.99/month

RAYS.TV is the in-market home for Tampa Bay Rays broadcasts, which moved to MLB in 2026 after FanDuel Sports Network Sun was terminated. Like 13 other teams, the Rays' local broadcasts are produced by MLB Local Media and delivered over the same MLB.TV infrastructure. It's available nationally and only blacks out when Tampa Bay plays a club inside that club's home territory, so AL East markets — New York, Boston, Toronto, and Baltimore — feel it most. It may also be referenced as RAYS.TV.
