LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Tens of thousands of Tigers fans in Michigan will have to find a new way to watch their favorite team. Bally Sports Detroit has been pulled off of Xfinity as Comcast and Diamond Sports Group failed to reach a new deal. Diamond Sports Group owns 18 networks under the Bally Sports name across the country and has broadcasting rights to over 30 professional teams across the MLB, NHL and NBA.

In a statement released late Tuesday, Bally Sports said in part, “Unfortunately, Comcast has rejected a proposed extension that would have kept our channels on the air and instead they pulled our signals while we continue to pursue a multi-year renewal agreement. As a result, Bally Sports broadcasts are unavailable to Comcast subscribers.”

With Bally Sports Detroit no longer on Xfinity, customers can no longer watch Detroit Tigers games. Depending on how long the two sides remain at odds in negotiations, fans may also lose access to Red Wings and Pistons games as well when the NHL and NBA seasons begin in the fall.

At the moment, Tigers fans who have Xfinity have a few options to watch games while Bally Sports remains off Xfinity. Bally Sports channels are still on cable or streaming services such as FuBo TV, DirecTV or DirecTV STREAM. Bally Sports also offers streaming on their website, even for those in market, with Bally Sports+ and MLB.TV offers streaming of Tigers games but only for those outside the state of Michigan.

• Jared Goff new black jersey: The Lions last wore a black uniform in 2007 but continued to use black in the color scheme through 2016 before ditching the color until this offseason. The black jersey has Honolulu blue numbers with silver outlines, “LIONS” written in blue across the chest, “MOTOR CITY” on the collar with blue and silver stripes on the sleeve.
• Barry Sanders black jersey: Current players aren’t the only ones with new threads available to purchase. Barry Sanders jerseys are available in all colors, including black.

He was the first of six players drafted by the Lions in the 2024 NFL draft.

• Aidan Hutchinson white jersey: The new white jersey has blue lettering outlined in silver with “DETROIT” spelled out across the chest in small blue lettering. “313” is written on the inside collar to honor where the team comes from when on the road.
