The Texas Rangers are "expected to announce, as soon as Wednesday," an agreement with streaming service Victory+ for a direct-to-consumer model for the 2025 season. While Victory+ will continue to carry Stars games for free, the Rangers' portion "would carry an annual subscription fee." The agreement "could be the first step in a multi-phase process to widen access for Rangers fans." It’s also "possible" the Rangers could seek to once again "put together a small package of over-the-air broadcasts to further widen access" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 1/14).
