The St. Louis Cardinals have signed a new multi-year deal with Diamond Sports Group to broadcast local games on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, previously Bally Sports Midwest. The agreement not only makes Diamond Sports the team's local broadcast partner but also offers a new "direct-to-consumer streaming option." This allows fans within the Cardinals' TV area to subscribe for exclusive streaming, following the growing trend of digital sports viewing, according to FOX 2 Now.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a source says the Cardinals are expected to face a 23% drop in payments for 2025, losing $17.3 million from a projected $75 million rights fee. While the deal is significant in other ways, the exact terms remain undisclosed.

This deal follows Diamond Sports Group's decision to drop contracts with other teams last October. However, they chose to renegotiate their contract with the Cardinals, as detailed by First Alert 4.
