Royals

Fans will have four options for watching a Royals game this week

The Royals play seven games this week, but the team’s television broadcasters will only work six days.

That’s because Friday’s game at the Detroit Tigers will air on Apple TV+, which means the FanDuel Sports Kansas City crew will have the night off. Two days later, the finale of the series in Detroit will be available as an over-the-air option in Kansas City.

Sunday’s game will be simulcast on KCTV (Ch. 5) and KSMO (Ch. 62).

That will give fans four options for watching the Royals: FanDuel Sports KC, Apple TV+, KCTV and KSMO.

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

Monday: vs. Rangers, 6:40 p.m. (FDSKC and 96.5 The Fan)
