Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, FOX 2 Detroit, and FanDuel Sports Network Partner to Expand Access to Select Red Wings & Tigers Broadcasts

In an effort to increase accessibility of Detroit Tigers and Red Wings broadcasts to fans, Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, FOX 2 Detroit, and FanDuel Sports Network have entered into a partnership, resulting in 15 games being simulcast on the over-the-air channel in the coming months.

These simulcast games will still be available for fans to watch just as they have in the past – on FanDuel Sports Network, FanDuelSportsNetwork.com, and the FanDuel Sports Network app. Today’s announcement adds another option: the ability to watch those same award-winning broadcasts on FOX 2 for free throughout southeast Michigan.

Games simulcast on FOX 2 will be mirror images of the broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network, featuring fan-favorite announcers including Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond on Red Wings action and Jason Benetti, Andy Dirks, and Dan Petry calling Tigers games.
