After a 10-day road trip through three cites, the Royals are back in Kansas City, and they’ll enjoy a day off Monday.

The Royals open a six-game homestand on Tuesday when the Colorado Rockies come to Kauffman Stadium. After those three Interleague games, the Royals will play host to the Houston Astros.

Two of the games will be airing for a national audience in addition to the usual broadcast on FanDuel Sports Kansas City. And the Royals’ game Sunday against the Astros also will be available over the air on KSMO-TV (Ch. 62).

Fans can stream games on the FanDuel Sports app, which is also available on Amazon Prime.

That means there will be four different ways to watch the Royals this week. Here’s how to watch and listen to each game.

Tuesday: vs. Rockies, 6:40 p.m. (FDSKC and 96.5 The Fan)

Wednesday: vs. Rockies, 6:40 p.m. (FDSKC and 96.5 The Fan)

Thursday: vs. Rockies, 1:10 p.m. (FDSKC, free out-of-market game on MLB-TV and 96.5 The Fan)

Friday: vs. Astros, 6:40 p.m. (FDSKC and 96.5 The Fan)

Saturday: vs. Astros, 6:10 p.m. (FDSKC, FS1 and 96.5 The Fan)
