Bally Sports Network is going dark on Comcast Xfinity after failed negotiations with Diamond Sports Group, leaving Minnesota Twins fans without access to the network. Xfinity users will not have access to programs from Bally Sports until a new deal is reached. The network broadcasts games from various Minnesota sports teams including the Twins, Wild, Timberwolves, and Lynx.
Comcast has expressed their willingness to continue carrying the network but mentioned that they no longer have the rights to the programming due to the failed negotiations with Diamond Sports Group. A spokesperson for Comcast stated that customers who had paid for the network will be reimbursed with $8 to $10 per month in credits.
Diamond Sports Group has declined multiple offers from Comcast, leading to the blackout of Bally Sports Network on Xfinity. The Minnesota Twins are set to play the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday at 1:10 p.m., but Comcast Xfinity users will not be able to watch it due to the interruption of service. Fans can still watch other platforms such as DirectTV, Spectrum, and FuboTV.
Dustin Morse, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Twins, expressed disappointment over the situation but emphasized that their priority is to provide fans with access to watch their games and hope that Comcast and Bally’s can reach an agreement soon. 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has reached out to Diamond Sports Group for a comment and will provide updates as necessary.
