No, the Atlanta Braves and Gray Media are making a bold statement by offering these games completely free to fans across 26 markets throughout the Southeast. That's right, no subscription needed, just tune in and enjoy the game!
And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the games. The Braves are also treating fans to a special 10-episode series titled "Celebrating '21." This series, narrated by Braves announcer Ben Ingram and featuring commentary from former manager Brian Snitker, will relive the thrilling 2021 championship season.
