Watch Colorado Rockies in 2023 – WYNTK
The best way to watch Colorado Rockies in 2023 and the MLB season from your couch isn’t with cable or satellite. It may end up being free to stream. The Rockies’ 30th Anniversary home opener is April 6, 2023 and first game at the Padres is March 30.
As of August 2023, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain has been dumped by former owner Warner Bros Discovery. Fingers crossed that they will go back to free on the Antenna or a streaming stand alone option. With so much up in the air, we will be updating this blog once further resolution happens.
As of April 2023, AT&T SportsNet is likely to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. MLB has already created a local broadcasting group and has stated they will likely broadcast specific teams for free.
Here’s WYNTK about watching the Rockies’ 2023 Season:
Colorado Rockies 2023 TV Schedule
AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain Current Situation – as of April, 2023
For AT&T SportsNet, “it was also reported that if an agreement to transfer ownership is not reached by the end of March, the only realistic choice is to file for Chapter 7 liquidation” according to Forbes. The New York Post reports “Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred will have the league take over the local broadcasts of the money-losing teams and stream them for free in their respective local markets.” A similar regional sports network (RSN), Diamond Sports Group also recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 14, 2023. The RSNs are in trouble and we’re seeing industry transformation right now.
For now, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain is expected to broadcast the 2023 Colorado Rockies while these bankruptcy filings and proceedings take place. However, once everything is resolved in court, it is unlikely that the AT&T SportsNet RSN will continue to have any broadcasting agreement with the Colorado Rockies.
Compare streaming, cable & satellite providers for Colorado Rockies
For Coloradoans, it’s frustrating to figure out the best source to watch the Colorado Rockies on TV. Subscribing to AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain is almost mandatory. The few games broadcast live will most likely be on FOX, TNT or FS1. Compare providers:
Fubo TV
Fubo TV says they have ATT SN RM, but post signup it’s not there. Maybe its coming, but for now they just offer Altitude Sports plus 100+ channels for ~ $89+/mo. no contract.
DirecTV STREAM
Starting at $98/mo., DirecTV STREAM includes ATTSN-RM as well as 115 additional channels mostly inclusive of Fubo TV channels, also includes TNT, TBS, ATT SN & no contract.
Cable/ Satellite
The thing to remember here is contracts and way more sneaky fees. Your options are DirecTV Choice package ($105+/mo. 2-yr contract & fees) or the Xfinity Popular TV
What Happened to Evoca?
Unfortunately, regional sports networks (RSNs) like Altitude Sports and ATT SportsNet Rocky Mountain are brutal to carriers. Consequently, EVOCA TV shut down operations on December 31, 2022 due to high costs to carry RSNs in it’s areas including Denver. Read story on Fierce Video.
