The Royals were justifiably unhappy about being swept by the Yankees last week, but one of their games was a hit on the MLB Network.

New York’s 6-3 win over the Royals on Tuesday was the MLB Network’s most-watched out-of-market game of the season, averaging 551,000 viewers. The game, which was on against the NBA Finals, was the MLB Network’s most-watched game since April 2024.

Three Royals games were on national TV last week and two more will air this week.

When the Royals head to San Diego, their game Friday against the Padres will be on Apple TV+, but it will not appear on FanDuel Sports Kansas City as usual. Ditto for Saturday’s game at Petco Park.

Here is how to watch the Royals this week, along with radio information. Fans also have the option to stream games on the FanDuel Sports app, which is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.
